It has been known for a long time that the ground state problem of random magnets, e.g. random field Ising model (RFIM), can be mapped onto the max-flow/min-cut problem of transportation networks. I build on this approach, relying on the…

The Ising spin glass model in a transverse field has a zero temperature phase transition driven solely by quantum fluctuations. This quantum phase transition occuring at a critical transverse field strength has attracted much attention…
We shall revisit the conventional adiabatic or Markov approximation, showing its intrinsic failure in describing the proper quantum-mechanical evolution of a generic subsystem interacting with its environment. In particular, we shall show…
We evaluate free-induction decay for the transverse components of a localized electron spin coupled to a bath of nuclear spins via the Fermi contact hyperfine interaction. Our perturbative treatment is valid for special (narrowed) bath…
