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 ...

Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with LISA

Daniel Garcia Figueroa

Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loops leads to a stochastic GW background (SGWB), which encodes the properties o ...

Asymptotic freedom, Haldane gap and edge states of SU(N) spin chains

Samuel Gozel

In this thesis we study various one-dimensional quantum spin systems with SU(2) and SU(N) symmetry. We investigate the short-distance behavior of the SU(2) Heisenberg model in the limit of large spin and show that there exists an extended regime where pert ...

Chiral charge dynamics in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio

We study fermion number non-conservation (or chirality breaking) in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. We consider the presence of a chemical potential mu for the fermionic charge, and monitor its evolution with real-time classical lattice simul ...

DMRG investigation of constrained models: from quantum dimer and quantum loop ladders to hard-boson and Fibonacci anyon chains

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

Motivated by the presence of Ising transitions that take place entirely in the singlet sector of frustrated spin-1/2 ladders and spin-1 chains, we study two types of effective dimer models on ladders, a quantum dimer model and a quantum loop model. Buildin ...

Bound States and Field-Polarized Haldane Modes in a Quantum Spin Ladder

Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Pierre Bouillot, Daniel Biner

The challenge of one-dimensional systems is to understand their physics beyond the level of known elementary excitations. By high-resolution neutron spectroscopy in a quantum spin-ladder material, we probe the leading multiparticle excitation by characteri ...

The particle spectrum of parity-violating Poincare gravitational theory

Georgios Karananas

In this paper we investigate the physical spectrum of the gravitational theory based on the Poincare group with terms that are at most quadratic in tetrad and spin connection, allowing for the presence of parity-even as well as parity-odd invariants. We de ...

Quantum Monte Carlo Study of a Resonant Bose-Fermi Mixture

Gianluca Bertaina

We study a resonant Bose-Fermi mixture at zero temperature by using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo method. We explore the system from weak to strong boson-fermion interaction, for different concentrations of the bosons relative to the fermion compone ...

Implementing global Abelian symmetries in projected entangled-pair state algorithms

Due to the unfavorable scaling of tensor-network methods with the refinement parameter M, new approaches are necessary to improve the efficiency of numerical simulations based on such states, in particular for gapless, strongly entangled systems. In one-di ...

Field-controlled magnetic order in the quantum spin-ladder system (Hpip)2CuBr4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Joël Mesot, Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Pierre Bouillot, Daniel Biner

Neutron diffraction is used to investigate the field-induced, antiferromagnetically ordered state in the two-leg spin-ladder material (Hpip)(2)CuBr4. This "classical" phase, a consequence of weak interladder coupling, is nevertheless highly unconventional: ...
