A constructive theory of the numerically accessible many-body localized to thermal crossover

P Crowley, A Chandran - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
The many-body localised (MBL) to thermal crossover observed in exact diagonalisation
studies remains poorly understood as the accessible system sizes are too small to be in an …

Strong zero modes in integrable quantum circuits

E Vernier, HC Yeh, L Piroli, A Mitra - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
It is a classic result that certain interacting integrable spin chains host robust edge modes
known as strong zero modes (SZMs). In this Letter, we extend this result to the Floquet …

Strong and almost strong modes of Floquet spin chains in Krylov subspaces

DJ Yates, A Mitra - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Integrable Floquet spin chains are known to host strong zero and π modes which are
boundary operators that respectively commute and anticommute with the Floquet unitary …

Edge modes and symmetry-protected topological states in open quantum systems

D Paszko, DC Rose, MH Szymańska, A Pal - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
Topological order offers possibilities for processing quantum information that can be
immune to imperfections. However, the question of its stability out of equilibrium is relevant …

Long-lived period-doubled edge modes of interacting and disorder-free Floquet spin chains

DJ Yates, AG Abanov, A Mitra - Communications Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Floquet spin chains have been a venue for understanding topological states of matter that
are qualitatively different from their static counterparts by, for example, hosting π edge …

Decay rates of almost strong modes in Floquet spin chains beyond Fermi's Golden Rule

HC Yeh, A Rosch, A Mitra - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The stability and dynamics of almost strong zero and π modes in weakly nonintegrable
Floquet spin chains are investigated. Such modes can also be viewed as localized …

Topological and symmetry-enriched random quantum critical points

CM Duque, HY Hu, YZ You, V Khemani, R Verresen… - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We study how symmetry can enrich strong-randomness quantum critical points and phases,
and lead to robust topological edge modes coexisting with critical bulk fluctuations. These …

Floquet product mode

HC Yeh, A Rosch, A Mitra - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Results are presented for the dynamics of edge modes in interacting Floquet Ising chains. It
is shown that in addition to the quasistable 0 and π edge modes, a third long lived edge …

Slowly decaying zero mode in a weakly nonintegrable boundary impurity model

HC Yeh, G Cardoso, L Korneev, D Sels, AG Abanov… - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The transverse field Ising model (TFIM) on the half-infinite chain possesses an edge zero
mode. This work considers an impurity model: TFIM perturbed by a boundary integrability …

Quantum scars and bulk coherence in a symmetry-protected topological phase

J Jeyaretnam, J Richter, A Pal - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Formation of quantum scars in many-body systems provides a novel mechanism for
enhancing coherence of weakly entangled states. At the same time, coherence of edge …
