Coherent and dissipative dynamics at quantum phase transitions

D Rossini, E Vicari - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
The many-body physics at quantum phase transitions shows a subtle interplay between
quantum and thermal fluctuations, emerging in the low-temperature limit. In this review, we …

[HTML][HTML] Critical casimir effect: Exact results

DM Dantchev, S Dietrich - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
In any medium there are fluctuations due to temperature or due to the quantum nature of its
constituents. If a material body is immersed into such a medium, its shape and the properties …

Universal quantum criticality in the metal-insulator transition of two-dimensional interacting Dirac electrons

Phase diagram of the two-flavor Schwinger model at zero temperature

R Dempsey, IR Klebanov, SS Pufu, BT Søgaard, B Zan - Physical review letters, 2024 - APS
We examine the phase structure of the two-flavor Schwinger model as a function of the θ
angle and the two masses, m 1 and m 2. In particular, we find interesting effects at θ= π …

Measurement-induced dynamics of many-body systems at quantum criticality

D Rossini, E Vicari - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We consider a dynamic protocol for quantum many-body systems, which enables us to study
the interplay between unitary Hamiltonian driving and random local projective …
