Quantum spin liquids: a review

L Savary, L Balents - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum spin liquids may be considered'quantum disordered'ground states of spin systems,
in which zero-point fluctuations are so strong that they prevent conventional magnetic long …

Quantum phase transitions

S Sachdev - Physics world, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
NATURE abounds with phase transitions. The boiling and freezing of water are everyday
examples of phase transitions, as are more exotic processes such as superconductivity and …

The conformal bootstrap: Theory, numerical techniques, and applications

D Poland, S Rychkov, A Vichi - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 - APS
Conformal field theories have been long known to describe the fascinating universal physics
of scale invariant critical points. They describe continuous phase transitions in fluids …

Quantum criticality under decoherence or weak measurement

JY Lee, CM Jian, C Xu - PRX quantum, 2023 - APS
Decoherence inevitably happens when a quantum state is exposed to its environment,
which can affect quantum critical points (QCPs) in a nontrivial way. As was pointed out in the …

Phase diagrams of lattice gauge theories with Higgs fields

E Fradkin, SH Shenker - Physical Review D, 1979 - APS
We study the phase diagram of lattice gauge theories coupled to fixed-length scalar (Higgs)
fields. We consider several gauge groups: Z 2, U (1), and SU (N). We find that when the …

[BOOK][B] Gauge Fields in Condensed Matter: Vol. 1: Superflow and Vortex Lines (Disorder Fields, Phase Transitions) Vol. 2: Stresses and Defects (Differential …

H Kleinert - 1989 - World Scientific
This book is the first to develop a unified gauge theory of condensed matter systems
dominated by vortices or defects and their long-range interactions. Gauge fields provide the …

A duality web in 2+ 1 dimensions and condensed matter physics

N Seiberg, T Senthil, C Wang, E Witten - Annals of Physics, 2016 - Elsevier
Building on earlier work in the high energy and condensed matter communities, we present
a web of dualities in 2+ 1 dimensions that generalize the known particle/vortex duality. Some …

Deconfined quantum critical points: symmetries and dualities

C Wang, A Nahum, MA Metlitski, C Xu, T Senthil - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
The deconfined quantum critical point (QCP), separating the Néel and valence bond solid
phases in a 2D antiferromagnet, was proposed as an example of (2+ 1) D criticality …

Symmetry-protected topological phases of quantum matter

T Senthil - Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys., 2015 - annualreviews.org
We describe recent progress in our understanding of the interplay between interactions,
symmetry, and topology in states of quantum matter. We focus on a minimal generalization …
