Many properties of a quantum system can be obtained from just a single eigenstate of its Hamiltonian. For example, a single eigenstate can be used to determine whether a system is integrable or chaotic and, in the latter case, to establish…
Double hydroxide perovskites with magnetic transition-metal ions were recently identified as a unique class of materials that combine magnetic frustration with correlated proton disorder-a prerequisite for quantum-disordered fluctuating…
We have investigated the electronic structure of Ba4NbIr3O12 within the density-functional theory (DFT) using the generalized gradient approximation while considering strong Coulomb correlations (GGA+U) in the framework of the fully…
The kagome-lattice Hubbard model attracts widespread interest due to its flat-band and Van Hove singularity features, which can give rise to unconventional magnetism. We employ determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations to systematically…
DFT+X methods, such as DFT+U and DFT+DMFT, are important supplements to standard density functional theory when strong on-site Coulomb interactions are present. However, the involvement of external parameters in the underlying model…
We investigate the emergence of altermagnetism -- a collinear magnetic phase characterized by large non-relativistic spin splitting and zero net magnetization -- driven by electronic correlations on 3x3 geometrically frustrated square…
We studied the longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistance of helical magnets, MnSi and Mn$_{1-x}$Co$_x$Si, at temperatures between 1.8 and 100~K and in magnetic fields up to 9 Tesla. All substances exhibited negative longitudinal and…
Altermagnets are compensated collinear magnets that break time-reversal symmetry without net magnetization, enabling unconventional magneto-optical responses. Here, altermagnetic X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is experimentally…
We consider phase transitions out of a general topological phase in $2+1$ dimensions. We assume that the transition is triggered by a single Abelian anyon, which becomes light near the transition and whose worldlines proliferate after the…
{\alpha}-MnTe is a prototypical altermagnet exhibiting a strong anomalous Hall effect (AHE), despite having a nearly vanishing magnetization. Lately, sample-to-sample variations of the amplitude of the AHE have raised concerns of a possible…
Topology without quasiparticles has emerged as a key framework for understanding Mott insulators, where Green's-function zeros encode nontrivial topological structure. Yet, experimental detection of these zeros represents a challenge. Using…
Strong correlation, when combined with dissipation in open systems, can lead to a variety of exotic quantum phenomena. Here, we study nontrivial interplays between non-Fermi liquid behaviors emerging from strong correlation and…
Magnetoelastic coupling plays a crucial role in magnetic-field-induced transitions in anisotropic ferromagnets. Ultrasonic methods are suitable for experimental investigations of these phenomena. We investigate elastic constants in…
Van der Waals materials hosting Kitaev interactions are promising platforms for exploring exotic quantum phenomena. Here, we report inelastic neutron scattering investigations of the van der Waals antiferromagnet VBr3, which forms a…
Quantum geometry, describing the geometric properties of the Bloch wave function in momentum space, has recently been recognized as a fundamental concept in condensed matter physics. The flat-band system offers the paradigmatic platform…
We report the synthesis, structure and physical properties of a new quaternary nitride LaCr$_2$Ge$_2$N. The compound crystallizes in the CeCr$_2$Si$_2$C-type structure (P4/mmm), featuring distinctive Cr$_2$N square sheets within…
Numerical simulations of strongly correlated fermions at finite temperature are essential for studying high-temperature superconductivity and other quantum many-body phenomena. The recently developed tangent-space tensor renormalization…
We demonstrate that a multi-$\mathbf{k}$ incommensurate magnetic state in the Weyl semimetal CeAlGe gives rise to singular angular magnetoresistance (SAMR), an electrical-transport signature that detects the magnetic-field direction with…
The Motzkin and Fredkin chains are frustration-free models with exactly solvable ground states. Their $q$-deformations describe an exotic quantum phase transition from a disordered phase to an ordered one subject to domain-wall boundary…
Quantum Monte Carlo is one of the most promising approaches for dealing with large-scale quantum many-body systems. It has played an extremely important role in understanding strongly correlated physics. However, two fundamental problems,…
