An ultrasmall quantum dot coupled to a lead and to a quantum box (a large quantum dot) is investigated. Tuning the tunneling amplitudes to the lead and box, we find a line of unstable non-Fermi-liquid fixed points as function of the gate…
Disorder significantly impacts the electronic properties of conducting quantum materials by inducing electron localization and thus altering the local density of states and electric transport. In insulating quantum magnetic materials, the…
We show that introducing a small uncertainty in the parameters of quantum systems can make the dynamics of these systems robust against perturbations. Concretely, for the case where a system is subject to perturbations due to an…
We show that quantum correlations as quantified by quantum discord can characterize quantum phase transitions by exhibiting nontrivial long-range decay as a function of distance in spin systems. This is rather different from the behavior of…
We consider a model of monitored quantum dynamics with quenched spatial randomness: specifically, random quantum circuits with spatially varying measurement rates. These circuits undergo a measurement-induced phase transition (MIPT) in…
Quantum Heisenberg spin chains with random couplings and spin sizes are studied using a real-space renormalization group technique. These systems belong to a new universality class of disordered quantum spin systems realized in {\it e.g.}…
A quantum system of particles can exist in a localized phase, exhibiting ergodicity breaking and maintaining forever a local memory of its initial conditions. We generalize this concept to a system of extended objects, such as strings and…
We propose a unifying framework for characterizing pure and mixed state phases of matter across equilibrium, non equilibrium, and metastable regimes. We introduce the concept of locally stable states, defined by the operational property…
The study of disorder effects in electronic systems is one of the central themes in physics. It is well established that in the Anderson localization regime, the localization length of electrons decreases monotonically as the disorder…
A formidable perspective in understanding quantum criticality of a given many-body system is through its entanglement contents. Until now, most progress are only limited to the disorder-free case. Here, we develop an efficient scheme to…
We study analytically the effect of a correlated random potential on the persistent current in a one-dimensional ring threaded by a magnetic flux $\phi$, using an Anderson tight-binding model. In our model, the system of $N=2M$ atomic sites…
The $N$-color Ashkin-Teller model corresponds to $N$ Ising models coupled by four-spin interactions. We consider the two-dimensional case in presence of quenched disorder and use scale invariant scattering theory to determine all the…
Entanglement entropy has proven invaluable to our understanding of quantum criticality. It is natural to try to extend the concept to non-unitary quantum mechanics, which has seen growing interest from areas as diverse as open quantum…
We analyze the problem of a quantum computer in a correlated environment protected from decoherence by QEC using a perturbative renormalization group approach. The scaling equation obtained reflects the competition between the dimension of…
We discuss a generalization of the conditional entropy and one-way information deficit in quantum systems, based on general entropic forms. The formalism allows to consider simple entropic forms for which a closed evaluation of the…
Quantum entanglement is considered, by and large, to be a very delicate and non-robust phenomenon that is very hard to maintain in the presence of noise, or non-zero temperatures. In recent years however, and motivated, in part, by a quest…
We discover and characterize strong quantum scars, or eigenstates resembling classical periodic orbits, in two-dimensional quantum wells perturbed by local impurities. These scars are not explained by ordinary scar theory, which would…
Entanglement exhibits universal behavior near the ground-state critical point where correlations are long-ranged and the thermodynamic entropy is vanishing. On the other hand, a quantum quench imparts extensive energy and results in a…
We study asymmetric zero-range processes on Z with nearest-neighbour jumps and site disorder. The jump rate of particles is an arbitrary but bounded nondecreasing function of the number of particles. We prove quenched strong local…
We study the creation and distribution of entanglement in disordered $XY$-type spin-$1/2$ chains for the paradigmatic case of a single flipped spin prepared on a fully polarized background. The local magnetic field is set to follow a…
