Emergence of Classical Magnetic Order from Anderson Towers: Quantum Darwinism in Action

Frédéric Mila

Environment is assumed to play a negative role in quantum mechanics, destroying the coherence in a quantum system and, thus, randomly changing its state. However, for a quantum system that is initially in a degenerate ground state, the situation could be d ...

Learning ground states of gapped quantum Hamiltonians with Kernel Methods

Giuseppe Carleo, Filippo Vicentini, Riccardo Rossi, Clemens Giuliani

Neural network approaches to approximate the ground state of quantum hamiltonians require the numerical solution of a highly nonlinear optimization problem. We introduce a statistical learning approach that makes the optimization trivial by using kernel me ...

Machine-learning the electronic density of states: electronic properties without quantum mechanics

Chiheb Ben Mahmoud

The electronic density of states (DOS) quantifies the distribution of the energy levels that can be occupied by electrons in a quasiparticle picture and is central to modern electronic structure theory. It also underpins the computation and interpretation ...

Correlation properties of a one-dimensional repulsive Bose gas at finite temperature

Riccardo Rota

We present a comprehensive study shedding light on how thermal fluctuations affect correlations in a Bose gas with contact repulsive interactions in one spatial dimension. The pair correlation function, the static structure factor, and the one-body density ...

Structure, Spin Correlations, and Magnetism of the S=1/2 Square-Lattice Antiferromagnet Sr2CuTe1-xWxO6 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Peter Babkevich, Ellen Fogh, Sami Juhani Vasala

Quantum spin liquids are highly entangled magnetic states with exotic properties. The S = 1/2 square-lattice Heisenberg model is one of the foundational models in frustrated magnetism with a predicted, but never observed, quantum spin liquid state. Isostru ...

Partial lifting of degeneracy in the J1-J2-J3 Ising antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice

Frédéric Mila, Andrew James Smerald, Jeanne Colbois

Motivated by dipolar-coupled artificial spin systems, we present a theoretical study of the classical J(1)-J(2)-J(3) Ising antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice. We establish the ground-state phase diagram of this model for J(1) > |J(2) |, |J(3) | based on ...

Charge ordering in Ir dimers in the ground state of Ba5AlIr2O11

Oleg Yazyev, Thorsten Schmitt, Vamshi Mohan Katukuri

It has been well established experimentally that the interplay of electronic correlations and spin-orbit interactions in Ir4+ and Ir5+ oxides results in insulating J(eff) = 1/2 and J(eff) = 0 ground states, respectively. However, in compounds where the str ...

Predicting hot-electron free energies from ground-state data

Michele Ceriotti, Federico Grasselli, Chiheb Ben Mahmoud

Machine-learning potentials are usually trained on the ground-state, Born-Oppenheimer energy surface, which depends exclusively on the atomic positions and not on the simulation temperature. This disregards the effect of thermally excited electrons, that i ...
