Field-controlled multicritical behavior and emergent universality in fully frustrated quantum magnets

Phase transitions in condensed matter are a source of exotic emergent properties. We study the fully frustrated bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet to demonstrate that an applied magnetic field creates a previously unknown emergent criticality. The quantum ...

Frustrated magnets in the limit of infinite dimensions: Dynamics and disorder-free glass transition

Achille Mauri

We study the statistical mechanics and the equilibrium dynamics of a system of classical Heisenberg spins with frustrated interactions on a d -dimensional simple hypercubic lattice, in the limit of infinite dimensionality d -> infinity . In the analysis we ...

Primary and secondary order parameters in the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila

Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations and field-theory arguments, we study the fully frustrated transversefield Ising model on the square lattice for the purpose of quantitatively relating two different order parameters to each other. We consider a "primar ...

Applications of the thawed Gaussian approximation to electronic spectroscopy

Eriks Kletnieks

The exploration of electronically excited states and the study of diverse photochemical and photophysical processes are the main goals of molecular electronic spectroscopy. Exact quantum-mechanical simulation of such experiments is, however, beyond current ...

Transition to chaos in extended systems and their quantum impurity models

Camille Didier Georges Aron

Chaos sets a fundamental limit to quantum-information processing schemes. We study the onset of chaos in spatially extended quantum many-body systems that are relevant to quantum optical devices. We consider an extended version of the Tavis-Cummings model ...

The time-domain Cartesian multipole expansion of electromagnetic fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Elias Per Joachim Le Boudec, Nicolas Mora Parra, Chaouki Kasmi, Emanuela Radici

Time-domain solutions of Maxwell’s equations in homogeneous and isotropic media are paramount to studying transient or broadband phenomena. However, analytical solutions are generally unavailable for practical applications, while numerical solutions are co ...

Orbital-Resolved DFT plus U for Molecules and Solids

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Eric Macke

We present an orbital-resolved extension of the Hubbard U correction to density-functional theory (DFT). Compared to the conventional shell-averaged approach, the prediction of energetic, electronic and structural properties is strongly improved, particula ...

Topological photonic transport in disordered scattering networks

Zhechen Zhang

This Ph.D. thesis unveils the unique topological phenomena occurring in such networks, focusing on the intricate interplay between their Floquet topology, the presence of disorder, and their unitary scattering at microscopic and macroscopic scales. Using t ...

Many-body physics with strongly interacting fermions coupled to light

Victor Youri Helson

This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...

Maple leaf antiferromagnet in a magnetic field

Frédéric Mila, Pratyay Ghosh, Ronny Thomale

We analyze the quantum antiferromagnet on the maple leaf lattice in the presence of a magnetic field. Starting from its exact dimer ground state and for a magnetic field strength of the order of the local dimer spin-exchange coupling, we perform a strong-c ...
