In the thermodynamic limit two distinct states of matter cannot be analytic continuations of each other. Classical phase transitions are characterized by non-analyticities of the free energy. For quantum phase transitions (QPTs) the ground…

We study the von Neumann entropy of a model for two-species hard-core bosons in one dimension. In this model, the same-species bosons satisfy hard-core conditions, while the different-species bosons are allowed to occupy the same site with…

Using the supersymmetry technique, we study the localization-delocalization transition in quasi-one-dimensional non-Hermitian systems with a direction. In contrast to chains, our model captures the diffusive character of carriers' motion at…

Common belief, confirmed by existing experiments, is that arbitrarily weak disorder should lead to spatial localization of eigenmodes of scalar wave equations when wave propagation is two-dimensional (2D). We predict that contrary to this…
We study ground-state quantum entanglement in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model in the presence of a harmonic trap. We focus on two transitions that occur upon increasing the characteristic particle density: the formation of a…
