Wigner Gaussian dynamics: Simulating the anharmonic and quantum ionic motion

The atomic motion controls important properties of materials, such as thermal transport, phase transitions, and vibrational spectra. However, simulating the ionic dynamics is exceptionally challenging when quantum fluctuations are relevant (e.g., at low te ...

Numerical investigation of bound states in quantum magnets

Mithilesh Nayak

Bound-states of particles are an interesting problem in quantum mechanics dating back to 1931 Bethe's solution of spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain. These exotic composite states are realized in quantum magnets and are detectable in inelastic neutron scattering (I ...

Spinon-like excitations in spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnets

Irina Safiulina

Quantum magnetism remains a hot topic in condensed matter physics due to its complexity and possible powerful and significant applications in data storage and memory. To understand how the materials can achieve these goals, one should have a clear idea abo ...

Hamiltonian reconstruction as metric for variational studies

Giuseppe Carleo

Variational approaches are among the most powerful techniques to approximately solve quantum many-body problems. These encompass both variational states based on tensor or neural networks, and parameterized quantum circuits in variational quantum eigensolv ...

Local excitations in amorphous solids

Wencheng Ji

Amorphous solids are structurally disordered. They are very common and include glasses, colloids, and granular materials, but are far less understood than crystalline solids. Key aspects of these materials are controlled by the presence of excitations in w ...

Quantum spin-liquid states in an organic magnetic layer and molecular rotor hybrid

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Andrea Pisoni, Péter Szirmai, Edoardo Martino, Konstantins Mantulnikovs

The exotic properties of quantum spin liquids (QSLs) have continually been of interest since Anderson's 1973 ground-breaking idea. Geometrical frustration, quantum fluctuations, and low dimensionality are the most often evoked material's characteristics th ...

Ferrimagnetic 120 degrees magnetic structure in Cu2OSO4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Nicola Casati, Lin Yang, Gregory Scott Tucker, Virgile Yves Favre, Romain Sibille

We report magnetic properties of a 3d(9) (Cu2+) magnetic insulator Cu2OSO4 measured on both powder and single crystal. The magnetic atoms of this compound form layers whose geometry can be described either as a system of chains coupled through dimers or as ...

Exact diagonalization study of the Hubbard-parametrized four-spin ring exchange model on a square lattice

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Noore Elahi Shaik, Sofie Janas

We have used exact numerical diagonalization to study the excitation spectrum and the dynamic spin correlations in the s = 1/2 next-next-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the square lattice, with additional four-spin ring exchange from higher- ...

Floquet dynamics in the quantum measurement of mechanical motion

Tobias Kippenberg, Nicolas Piro Mastracchio, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni, Marie Adrienne Ioannou

The radiation-pressure interaction between one or more laser fields and a mechanical oscillator gives rise to a wide range of phenomena: From sideband cooling and backaction-evading measurements to ponderomotive and mechanical squeezing to entanglement and ...

Building a Casimir metrology platform with a commercial MEMS sensor

Matthias Imboden

The Casimir Effect is a physical manifestation of quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic vacuum. When two metal plates are placed close together, typically much less than a micron, the long wavelength modes between them are frozen out, giving rise to ...
