Continuous topological phase transitions between clean quantum hall states
Continuous transitions between states and the same symmetry but different topological orders are studied. Clean quantum Hall (QH) liquids with neutral nonbosonic quasiparticles are shown to have such transitions under the right conditions. For clean bilayer (mmn) states, a continuous transition to other QH states (including non-Abelian states) can be driven by increasing interlayer repulsion/tu...
متن کاملContinuous Quantum Phase Transitions
A quantum system can undergo a continuous phase transition at the absolute zero of temperature as some parameter entering its Hamiltonian is varied. These transitions are particularly interesting for, in contrast to their classical finite temperature counterparts, their dynamic and static critical behaviors are intimately intertwined. We show that considerable insight is gained by considering t...
متن کاملContinuous and discontinuous phase transitions in hypergraph processes
Let V denote a set of N vertices. To construct a hypergraph process, create a new hyperedge at each event time of a Poisson process; the cardinality K of this hyperedge is random, with generating function ρ(x) def = ∑ ρkx , where P (K = k) = ρk; given K = k, the k vertices appearing in the new hyperedge are selected uniformly at random from V . Assume ρ1 + ρ2 > 0. Hyperedges of cardinality 1 ar...
متن کاملContinuous and discontinuous quantum phase transitions in a model two-dimensional magnet.
The Shasty-Sutherland model, which consists of a set of spin 1/2 dimers on a 2D square lattice, is simple and soluble but captures a central theme of condensed matter physics by sitting precariously on the quantum edge between isolated, gapped excitations and collective, ordered ground states. We compress the model Shastry-Sutherland material, SrCu(2)(BO(3))(2), in a diamond anvil cell at cryog...
