Ordered phases of matter, such as solids, ferromagnets, superfluids, or quantum topological order, typically only exist at low temperatures. Despite this conventional wisdom, we present explicit local models in which all such phases persist…
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model for two-component bosons using a strong-coupling approach within the closed-time-path formalism and develop an effective theory for the action of this problem. We obtain…
We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons on a square lattice with competing interactions. The hard-core bosons can be represented also by spin-1/2 operators and the model can therefore be mapped onto an anisotropic…

We show that the stationary decoherence rate of an open quantum system can be decomposed as a sum of local and nonlocal contributions, respectively related to the strength of the coupling between system and environment, and to the quality…

Using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations we study bosons hopping on a triangular lattice with nearest (V) and next-nearest (V') neighbor repulsive interactions. In the limit where V=0 but V' is large, we find an example of an…
We determine the phase diagram of hardcore bosons on a triangular lattice with nearest neighbor repulsion, paying special attention to the stability of the supersolid phase. Similar to the same model on a square lattice we find that for…
We analyze the decoherence induced on a single qubit by the interaction with a two-level boson system with critical internal dynamics. We explore how the decoherence process is affected by the presence of quantum phase transitions in the…

We investigate a system of two- and three-body constrained dipolar bosons in a pair of one-dimensional optical lattices coupled to each other by the non-local dipole-dipole interactions. Assuming attractive dipole-dipole interactions, we…
I argue that certain bosonic insulator-superfluid phase transitions as an interaction constant varies are driven by emergent geometric properties of insulating states. The {\em renormalized} chemical potential and distribution of disordered…
We show that in the regime when strong disorder is more relevant than field quantization the superfluid--to--Bose-glass criticality of one-dimensional bosons is preceded by the prolonged logarithmically slow classical-field renormalization…
The spontaneously broken of translational symmetry is usually due to the competition between local interactions and long-range interactions. However, in this paper, we show how a crystalline order can be generated by the competition between…
