Analytical theory of cat scars with discrete time crystalline dynamics in Floquet systems

Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Biao Huang, , , , | Summary: We reconstruct the spectral pairing (SP) theories to enable analytical descriptions of eigenstate spatiotemporal orders in translation-invariant systems without prethermal conditions. It is shown that the strong Ising interactions and drivings alone stabilize a class of “cat scar" eigenstates with […]

Scrambling and Recovery of Quantum Information in Inhomogeneous Quenches in Two-dimensional Conformal Field Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Nozaki | First 5 Authors: Kanato Goto, Masahiro Nozaki, Shinsei Ryu, Kotaro Tamaoka, Mao Tian Tan | Summary: We study various quantum quench processes induced by the M"obius/sine-square deformation of the Hamiltonian in two-dimensional conformal field theories starting from the thermofield double state in the two copies of the Hilbert space. These […]

A “morphogenetic action” principle for 3D shape formation by the growth of thin sheets

Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Dillon J. Cislo, Anastasios Pavlopoulos, Boris I. Shraiman, , | Summary: How does growth encode form in developing organisms? Many different spatiotemporal growth profiles may sculpt tissues into the same target 3D shapes, but only specific growth patterns are observed in animal and plant development. In […]

Chiral spin liquid in a $mathbb{Z}_3$ Kitaev model

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Li-Mei Chen, Tyler D. Ellison, Meng Cheng, Peng Ye, Ji-Yao Chen | Summary: We study a $mathbb{Z}_3$ Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest neighbor interactions. Based on matrix product state simulations and symmetry considerations, we find evidence that, with ferromagnetic isotropic couplings, the model realizes […]

Variational Tensor Wavefunctions for the Interacting Quantum Spin Hall Phase

Kavli Affiliate: Shenghan Jiang | First 5 Authors: Yixin Ma, Shenghan Jiang, Chao Xu, , | Summary: The quantum spin hall (QSH) phase, also known as the two-dimensional topological insulator, hosts helical edge modes protected by time-reversal symmetry. While first proposed as a band insulator, this phase can also be realized in strongly-correlated systems, where […]

Magnetostriction, piezomagnetism and domain nucleation in a kagome antiferromagnet

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Qingkai Meng, Jianting Dong, Pan Nie, Liangcai Xu, Jinhua Wang | Summary: Whenever the elastic energy of a solid depends on magnetic field, there is a magnetostrictive response. Field-linear magnetostriction implies piezomagnetism and vice versa. Here, we show that Mn$_3$Sn, a non-collinear antiferromanget with Weyl nodes, hosts […]
