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…
We present two new integrable spin ladder models which posses three general free parameters besides the rung coupling J. Wang's systems based on the SU(4) and SU(3/1) symmetries can be obtained as special cases. The models are exactly…
The contribution to the entanglement of an impurity attached to one end of a $J-J_2-delta$ quantum spin chain (S=1/2) is studied. Two different measures of the impurity contribution to the entanglement have been proposed: the…
We revisit the so-called folded XXZ model, which was treated earlier by two independent research groups. We argue that this spin-1/2 chain is one of the simplest quantum integrable models, yet it has quite remarkable physical properties.…
We study effects of nonmagnetic impurities in a Spin Bose-Metal (SBM) phase discovered in a two-leg triangular strip spin-1/2 model with ring exchanges (D. N. Shenget al, arXiv:0902.4210). This phase is a quasi-1D descendant of a 2D spin…
From the open boundary t-J model, an impurity model is constructed in which magnetic impurities of arbitrary spins are coupled to the edges of the strongly correlated electron system. The boundary R matrices are given explicitly. The…
The integrability of a quantum many-body system, which is characterized by the presence or absence of local conserved quantities, drastically impacts the dynamics of isolated systems, including thermalization. Nevertheless, a rigorous and…
We revisit the phase diagram of spin-1 $su(2)_k$ anyonic chains, originally studied by Gils {\it et. al.} [Phys. Rev. B, {\bf 87} (23) (2013)]. These chains possess several integrable points, which were overlooked (or only briefly…
We solve the problem of $N$ non magnetic impurities in the staggered flux phase of the Heisenberg model which we assume to be a good mean-field approximation for the spin-gap phase of the cuprates. The density of states is evaluated exactly…
While standard scaling arguments show that a system of non-interacting electrons in two dimensions and in the presence of uncorrelated disorder is insulating, in this work we discuss the case where inter-impurity correlations are included.…
We analyze a crossover between ergodic and non-ergodic regimes in an interacting spin chain with a dilute density of impurities, defined as spins with a strong local field. The dilute limit allows us to unravel some finite size effects and…
We develop a new method to compute the exact overlaps between integrable boundary states and on-shell Bethe states for integrable spin chains. Our method is based on the coordinate Bethe Ansatz and does not rely on the "rotation trick" of…
We discuss a simple procedure for obtaining new integrable spin chains from old by replacing each single state of the original model by some collection of states. This works whenever the Lax matrix of the chain has a certain form. The…
We develop a general approach to the nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum impurity systems for arbitrary coupling strength. The numerical renormalization group is used to generate a complete basis set necessary for the correct description of…
We describe the spin distribution in the vicinity of a non-magnetic impurity in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet undergoing a transition from a magnetically ordered Neel state to a paramagnet with a spin gap. The quantum critical ground…
A Bethe Ansatz solution of a (modified) Hubbard chain with a Kondo impurity of arbitrary spin S at a highly symmetric line of parameter space is proposed and explored. Our results confirm the existence of a strong-coupling (line of)…
The low-energy properties of a system at a critical point may have additional symmetries not present in the microscopic Hamiltonian. This letter presents the theory of a class of multicritical points that provide an interesting example of…
We study impurity effects in the spin nematic phase of the $S=1/2$ $J_1$-$J_2$ frustrated spin chain under an external magnetic field by using the infinite density matrix renormalization group and the bosonization. It is found that local…
We develop the impurity lattice Monte Carlo formalism, for the case of two distinguishable impurities in a bath of polarized fermions. The majority particles are treated as explicit degrees of freedom, while the impurities are described by…
The critical behaviour of thin films containing quenched random impurities and inhomogeneities is investigated by the renormalization-group method. The finite-size crossover in impure films has been considered on the basis of the…
