A group symmetry analysis of the low lying levels of the spin-1/2 kagom\'e Heisenberg antiferromagnet is performed for small samples up to N=27. This approach allows to follow the effect of quantum fluctuations when the sample size…
Spin nematic (SN) is a magnetic analog of classical liquid crystals, a fourth state of matter exhibiting characteristics of both liquid and solid. Particularly intriguing is a valence-bond SN, in which spins are quantum entangled to form a…
We show that the light cone-like structures that form in spin chains after a quench are quantum caustics. Their natural description is in terms of catastrophe theory and this implies: 1) a hierarchy of light cone structures corresponding to…
We introduce different types of quenches to probe the non-equilibrium dynamics and multiple collective modes of bilayer fractional quantum Hall states. We show that applying an electric field in one layer induces oscillations of a spin-1…
Bose Einstein condensates of spin-1 atoms are known to exist in two different phases, both having spontaneously broken spin-rotation symmetry, a ferromagnetic and a polar condensate. Here we show that in two spatial dimensions it is…
We study the experimental signatures of several states of a Bose-Einstein condensate of spin-1 atoms by quantum trajectory simulations of Stern-Gerlach experiments. The measurement process itself creates an apparent random alignment for the…
We prove that for quantum lattice systems in d<=2 dimensions the addition of quenched disorder rounds any first order phase transition in the corresponding conjugate order parameter, both at positive temperatures and at T=0. For systems…
In magnets with strong quantum fluctuations, paramagnetic ground states with or without confinement of spinon excitations can be realized. Here we discuss the physics of the confined phase in the vicinity of a confinement--deconfinement…
It is predicted that strongly interacting spins on a frustrated lattice may lead to a quantum disordered ground state or even form a quantum spin liquid with exotic low-energy excitations. However, a thorough tuning of the frustration…
We describe a scheme for finding quantum critical points based on studies of a non-equilibrium susceptibility during finite-rate quenches taking the system from one phase to another. We assume that two such quenches are performed in…
We consider the unitary time evolution of a one-dimensional quantum system which is in a stationary state for negative times and then undergoes a sudden change (quench) of a parameter of its Hamiltonian at t=0. For systems possessing a…
We study the non-equilibrium phase diagram of a fully-connected Ising $p$-spin model, for generic $p>2$, and investigate its robustness with respect to the inclusion of spin-wave fluctuations, resulting from a ferromagnetic, short-range…
We study the quench dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate under a Raman-assisted synthetic spin-orbit coupling. To model the dynamical process, we adopt a self-consistent Bogoliubov approach, which is equivalent to applying the…
We analytically and numerically study the Loschmidt echo and the dynamical order parameters in a spin chain with a deconfined phase transition between a dimerized state and a ferromagnetic phase. For quenches from a dimerized state to a…
The phase-ordering dynamics that result from domain coarsening are considered for itinerant quantum ferromagnets. The fluctuation effects that invalidate the Hertz theory of the quantum phase transition also affect the phase ordering. For a…
We introduce a novel mechanism to develop a turbulent flow in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate, consisting in the stirring of a single line vortex by means of an external magnetic field. We find that density and velocity fluctuations have…
Motivated by the recent synthesis of the spin-1 A-site spinel NiRh$_{\text 2}$O$_{\text 4}$, we investigate the classical to quantum crossover of a frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on the diamond lattice upon varying the spin length…
We study the spin-glass transition in a disordered quantum model. There is a region in the phase diagram where quantum effects are small and the phase transition is second order, as in the classical case. In another region, quantum…
We propose a scheme to generate and detect various kinds of quantum entanglement in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate. It is shown that substantial many-particle entanglement can be generated directly in the spin-1 condensate by free…
We investigate the one-dimensional finite-size XY model with opposing surface fields in the X direction. Exact solutions are obtained for the two-site and three-site models, while numerical methods are employed for models with more than…
