Quantum phase transitions in Dirac fermion systems

R Boyack, H Yerzhakov, J Maciejko - The European Physical Journal …, 2021 - Springer
A key problem in the field of quantum criticality is to understand the nature of quantum phase
transitions in systems of interacting itinerant fermions, motivated by experiments on a variety …

Disordered quantum critical fixed points from holography

X Huang, S Sachdev, A Lucas - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Using holographic duality, we present an analytically controlled theory of quantum critical
points without quasiparticles, at finite disorder and finite charge density. These fixed points …

A bound on thermalization from diffusive fluctuations

LV Delacrétaz - Nature Physics, 2025 - nature.com
The local equilibration time of quantum many-body systems has been conjectured to satisfy
a Planckian bound, so that it always exceeds some value on the order of ℏ/T, where T is the …

Emergent from half-filled flat Chern bands

XY Song, H Goldman, L Fu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Recently, two-dimensional Dirac materials patterned with a superlattice structure have
emerged as a rich platform for exploring correlated and topological quantum matter. In this …

Universal conductivity at a two-dimensional superconductor-insulator transition: The effects of quenched disorder and Coulomb interaction

CJ Lee, M Mulligan - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We calculate the zero-temperature dc electrical conductivity in the collisionless ℏ ω/k BT→∞
limit at superconductor-insulator transitions in the (2+ 1) d XY model universality class. We …

Interaction-induced metallicity in a two-dimensional disordered non-Fermi liquid

PA Nosov, IS Burmistrov, S Raghu - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The interplay of interactions and disorder in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems has
actively been studied for decades. The paradigmatic approach involves starting with a clean …

[HTML][HTML] Random-mass disorder in the critical Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models

H Yerzhakov, J Maciejko - Nuclear Physics B, 2021 - Elsevier
An important yet largely unsolved problem in the statistical mechanics of disordered
quantum systems is to understand how quenched disorder affects quantum phase …

Renormalization group in quantum critical theories with Harris-marginal disorder

K Ganesan, A Lucas, L Radzihovsky - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We develop a renormalization group for weak Harris-marginal disorder in otherwise strongly
interacting quantum critical theories, focusing on systems which have emergent conformal …

Entanglement entropy of -dimensional quantum critical points with quenched disorder: Dimensional reduction approach

Q Tang, W Zhu - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
A formidable perspective in understanding quantum criticality of a given many-body system
is through its entanglement contents. Until now, most progress are only limited to the …

Quenched random mass disorder in the large N theory of vector bosons

H Ma - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We study the critical bosonic O (N) vector model with quenched random mass disorder in the
large N limit. Due to the replicated action which is sometimes not bounded from below, we …
