DOI: 10.1088/1674-1056/ab889b
Abstract: We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study a quantum $S=1/2$ spin model with competing multi-spin interactions. We find a quantum phase transition between a columnar valence-bond solid (cVBS) and a Neel antiferromagnet (AFM), as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/8tsg-q9j6
Abstract: The spontaneous breaking of non-invertible symmetries can lead to exotic phenomena such as coexistence of order and disorder. Here we explore second-order phase transitions in 1d spin chains between two phases that correspond to distinct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.104.205142
Abstract: Duality places an important constraint on the renormalization group flows and the phase diagrams. For self-dual theories, the self-duality can be promoted as a symmetry, this leads to the multicriticalities. This work investigates a description… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.111.054436
Abstract: Deconfined quantum critical points (DQCPs) are proposed as unconventional second-order phase transitions beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. The nature and experimental realizations of DQCPs are crucial issues of importance. We illustrate the potential for DQCPs between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.98.125105
Abstract: Deconfined quantum critical points are characterized by the presence of an emergent gauge field and exotic fractionalized particles, which exist as well-defined excitations only at the critical point. We here demonstrate the existence of quantum… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.99.075103
Abstract: We study a one-dimensional (1D) system that shows many analogies to proposed two-dimensional (2D) deconfined quantum critical points (DQCP). Our system is a translationally invariant spin-1/2 chain with onsite Z_2×Z_2 symmetry and time-reversal symmetry. It… read more here.

Abstract: We perform a numerical study of a spin-1/2 model with $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry in one dimension which demonstrates an interesting similarity to the physics of two-dimensional deconfined quantum critical points (DQCP). Specifically, we investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevx.9.021034
Abstract: Continuous quantum phase transitions that are beyond the conventional paradigm of fluctuations of a symmetry breaking order parameter are challenging for theory. These phase transitions often involve emergent deconfined gauge fields at the critical points… read more here.
