We investigate numerically disorder chaos in spin glasses, i.e. the sensitivity of the ground state to small changes of the random couplings. Our study focuses on the Edwards-Anderson model in d=1,2,3 and in mean-field. We find that in all…

We present a procedure that makes use of group theory to analyze and predict the main properties of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. We focus on the relatively low temperatures limit where both the spin-spin…

We report on measurements of the photoluminescence (PL) properties of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond at temperatures between 4-300 K. We observe a strong reduction of the PL intensity and spin contrast between ca. 10-100 K…

Precise knowledge of a quantum system's Hamiltonian is a critical pre-requisite for its use in many quantum information technologies. Here, we report a method for the precise characterization of the non-secular part of the excited-state…

The physics of interacting nuclear spins arranged in a crystalline lattice is typically described using a thermodynamic framework: a variety of experimental studies in bulk solid-state systems have proven the concept of a spin temperature…

We determine the polarization of the bulk $^{13}$C nuclear spin system in diamond produced by interaction with optically oriented nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) defect centers. $^{13}$C nuclei are polarized into the higher energy Zeeman state with…

We present numerical simulations of avalanches and critical phenomena associated with hysteresis loops, modeled using the zero-temperature random-field Ising model. We study the transition between smooth hysteresis loops and loops with a…

We study the 3D Disordered Potts Model with p=5 and p=6. Our numerical simulations (that severely slow down for increasing p) detect a very clear spin glass phase transition. We evaluate the critical exponents and the critical value of the…

The nonequilibrium dynamics in chaotic quantum systems denies a fully understanding up to now, even if thermalization in the long-time asymptotic state has been explained by the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis which assumes a universal…

We extend the results of two of our papers [Phys. Rev. A 94, 041603R (2016) and Phys. Rev. B 97, 060303R (2018)] that touch upon the intimately connected topics of quantum chaos and thermalization. In the first, we argued that when the…

The physics of Anderson transitions between localized and metallic phases in disordered systems is reviewed. The term ``Anderson transition'' is understood in a broad sense, including both metal-insulator transitions and quantum-Hall-type…

Dynamical polarization of nuclear spin ensembles is of central importance for magnetic resonance studies, precision sensing and for applications in quantum information theory. Here we propose a scheme to generate long-lived singlet pairs in…

We study the problem of predictability, or "nature vs. nurture", in several disordered Ising spin systems evolving at zero temperature from a random initial state: how much does the final state depend on the information contained in the…

We demonstrate significant improvements of the spin coherence time of a dense ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond through optimized dynamical decoupling (DD). Cooling the sample down to $77$ K suppresses longitudinal spin…

The critical dynamics of model C in the presence of disorder is considered. It is known that in the asymptotics a conserved secondary density decouples from the nonconserved order parameter for disordered systems. However couplings between…

The nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond attracts a lot of attention in sensing applications, mainly for temperature, magnetic field, and rotation measurements. Nuclear spins of carbon-13 surrounding the nitrogen-vacancy center can be used as…

The mixed spin-(1,1/2) Ising-Heisenberg model on a distorted diamond chain with the spin-1 nodal atoms and the spin-1/2 interstitial atoms is exactly solved by the transfer-matrix method. An influence of the geometric spin frustration and…

A study of the temperature (T) and density (n_s) dependence of conductivity \sigma(n_s,T) of a highly disordered, two-dimensional (2D) electron system in Si demonstrates scaling behavior consistent with the existence of a metal-insulator…

We present tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations of the structural modifications that result from the "thermal spike" that occurs during the passage of a heavy fast ion through a thin diamond or amorphous carbon layer, and the…

Quantum systems exist at finite temperatures and are likely to be disordered to some level. Since applications of quantum information often rely on entanglement, we require methods which allow entanglement measures to be calculated in the…
