Multiparticle scattering and breakdown of the Wiedemann-Franz law at a junction of interacting quantum wires

D Giuliano, A Nava, R Egger, P Sodano, F Buccheri - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We analyze the charge and thermal transport at a junction of interacting quantum wires
close to equilibrium. Within the framework of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids, we compute the …

Nanowelding of quantum spin- chains at minimal dissipation

MF Cavalcante, MVS Bonança, E Miranda, S Deffner - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We consider the optimal control of switching on a coupling term between two quantum many-
body systems. Specifically, we (i) quantify the energetic cost of establishing a weak junction …

Majorana Fermi surface state in a network of quantum spin chains

FG Oliviero, WB Fontana, RG Pereira - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We use junctions of critical spin-1 chains as the basic elements to construct a honeycomb
network that harbors a gapless chiral spin liquid phase. The low-energy modes are …

Comb tensor networks

N Chepiga, SR White - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
In this paper we propose a special type of a tree tensor network that has the geometry of a
comb—a one-dimensional (1D) backbone with finite 1D teeth projecting out from it. This …

Non-Abelian anyon statistics through AC conductance of a Majorana interferometer

A Nava, R Egger, F Hassler, D Giuliano - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Demonstrating the non-Abelian Ising anyon statistics of Majorana zero modes in a physical
platform still represents a major open challenge in physics. We here show that the linear low …

Network construction of non-Abelian chiral spin liquids

H Xavier, C Chamon, RG Pereira - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We use a network of chiral junctions to construct a family of topological chiral spin liquids in
two spatial dimensions. The chiral spin liquid phase harbors SU (2) $ _k $ anyons, which …

Spin chain network construction of chiral spin liquids

G Ferraz, FB Ramos, R Egger, RG Pereira - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We show that a honeycomb lattice of Heisenberg spin-1/2 chains with three-spin junction
interactions allows for controlled analytical studies of chiral spin liquids (CSLs). Tuning …

Chiral fixed point in a junction of critical spin-1 chains

HB Xavier, RG Pereira - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Junctions of one-dimensional systems are of great interest to the development of synthetic
materials that harbor topological phases. We study a junction of three gapless spin-1 chains …

Dissipative three-state system and the primary electron transfer in the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center

R Egger, CH Mak - The Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1994 - ACS Publications
The problem of bacterial photosynthesis has attracted much recent interest since the
molecular structures of the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) in purple bacteria …

Enhancement in tunneling density of states in a Luttinger liquid: Role of nonlocal interaction

A Ratnakar, S Das - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Power-law suppression of local electronic tunneling density of states (TDOS) in the zero-
energy limit is a hallmark of the Luttinger liquid (LL) phase of the interacting one …
