The quantum metric of electrons with spin-momentum locking

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | First 5 Authors: Giacomo Sala, Maria Teresa Mercaldo, Klevis Domi, Stefano Gariglio, Mario Cuoco | Summary: Quantum materials are characterized by electromagnetic responses intrinsically linked to the geometry and topology of the electronic wavefunctions. These properties are encoded in the quantum metric and Berry curvature. While Berry curvature-mediated transport […]

$mathbb{Z}_4$ transitions in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Bowy M. La Rivière, Natalia Chepiga, , , | Summary: We study the nature of quantum phase transitions out of $mathbb{Z}_4$ ordered phases in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder. We report very rich critical behaviour that includes a pair of Ising transitions, a multi-critical Ashkin-Teller […]

Constant search time algorithm via topological quantum walks

Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: D. O. Oriekhov, Guliuxin Jin, Eliska Greplova, , | Summary: It is well-known that quantum algorithms such as Grover’s can provide a quadradic speed-up for unstructured search problems. By adding topological structure to a search problem, we show that it is possible to achieve a constant search-time […]
