We use the fuzzy-sphere approach to study the Bose-Kondo impurity problem, namely a spin-$S$ impurity coupled to the $(2+1)$-dimensional $O(3)$ Wilson-Fisher CFT (Heisenberg universality class). We demonstrate that for $S=1/2,1,3/2$ the…
We investigate quantum impurity problems, where a local magnetic moment is coupled to the spin density of a bosonic environment, leading to bosonic versions of the standard Kondo and Anderson impurity models. In a physical situation, these…
Systems of disordered interacting bosons with particle-hole symmetry can undergo a quantum phase transition between the superfluid phase and the Mott glass phase which is a gapless incompressible insulator. We employ large-scale Monte Carlo…
