We present a worm-type Monte Carlo study of several typical models in the three-dimensional (3D) U(1) universality class, which include the classical 3D XY model in the directed flow representation and its Villain version, as well as the 2D quantum Bose-Hubbard (BH) model with unitary filling in the imaginary-time world-line representation. From the topology of the configurations on a torus, we sample the superfluid stiffness $rho_s$ and the dimensionless wrapping probability $R$. From the finite-size scaling analyses of $rho_s$ and of $R$, we determine the critical points as $T_c ({rm XY}) =2.201, 844 ,1(5)$ and $T_c ({rm Villain})=0.333, 067, 04(7)$ and $(t/U)_c ({rm BH})=0.059 , 729 ,1(8)$, where $T$ is the temperature for the classical models, and $t$ and $U$ are respectively the hopping and on-site interaction strength for the BH model. The precision of our estimates improves significantly over that of the existing results. Moreover, it is observed that at criticality, the derivative of a wrapping probability with respect to $T$ suffers from negligible leading corrections and enables a precise determination of the correlation length critical exponent as $ u=0.671 , 83(18)$. In addition, the critical exponent $eta$ is estimated as $eta=0.038 , 53(48)$ by analyzing a susceptibility-like quantity. We believe that these numerical results would provide a solid reference in the study of classical and quantum phase transitions in the 3D U(1) universality, including the recent development of the conformal bootstrap method.

We perform large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of the classical XY model on a three-dimensional $Ltimes L times L$ cubic lattice using the graphics processing unit (GPU). By the combination of Metropolis single-spin flip, over-relaxation and parallel-tempering methods, we simulate systems up to L=160. Performing the finite-size scaling analysis, we obtain estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional XY universality class: $alpha=-0.01293(48)$ and $ u=0.67098(16)$. Our estimate for the correlation-length exponent $ u$, in contrast to previous theoretical estimates, agrees with the most recent experimental estimate $ u_{rm exp}=0.6709(1)$ at the superfluid transition of $^4$He in a microgravity environment.
We study the probability distribution P(M) of the order parameter (average magnetization) M, for the finite-size systems at the critical point. The systems under consideration are the 3-dimensional Ising model on a simple cubic lattice, and its 3-state generalization known to have remarkably small corrections to scaling. Both models are studied in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions. The model with reduced corrections to scaling makes it possible to determine P(M) with unprecedented precision. We also obtain a simple, but remarkably accurate approximate formula describing the universal shape of P(M).
We show that the onset of quantum chaos at infinite temperature in two many-body 1D lattice models, the perturbed spin-1/2 XXZ and Anderson models, is characterized by universal behavior. Specifically, we show that the onset of quantum chaos is marked by maxima of the typical fidelity susceptibilities that scale with the square of the inverse average level spacing, saturating their upper bound, and that the strength of the integrability/localization breaking perturbation at these maxima decreases with increasing system size. We also show that the spectral function below the Thouless energy (in the quantum-chaotic regime) diverges when approaching those maxima. Our results suggest that, in the thermodynamic limit, arbitrarily small integrability/localization breaking perturbations result in quantum chaos in the many-body quantum systems studied here.
We establish the quantum fluctuations $Delta Q_B^2$ of the charge $Q_B$ accumulated at the boundary of an insulator as an integral tool to characterize phase transitions where a direct gap closes (and reopens), typically occurring for insulators with topological properties. The power of this characterization lies in its capability to treat different kinds of insulators on equal footing; being applicable to transitions between topological and non-topological band, Anderson, and Mott insulators alike. In the vicinity of the phase transition we find a universal scaling $Delta Q_B^2(E_g)$ as function of the gap size $E_g$ and determine its generic form in various dimensions. For prototypical phase transitions with a massive Dirac-like bulk spectrum we demonstrate a scaling with the inverse gap in one dimension and a logarithmic one in two dimensions.
We study the three-dimensional Ising model at the critical point in the fixed-magnetization ensemble, by means of the recently developed geometric cluster Monte Carlo algorithm. We define a magnetic-field-like quantity in terms of microscopic spin-up and spin-down probabilities in a given configuration of neighbors. In the thermodynamic limit, the relation between this field and the magnetization reduces to the canonical relation M(h). However, for finite systems, the relation is different. We establish a close connection between this relation and the probability distribution of the magnetization of a finite-size system in the canonical ensemble.
