We carry out an analytical study of quantum spin ice, a U$(1)$ quantum spin liquid close to the classical spin ice solution for an effective spin $1/2$ model with anisotropic exchange couplings $J_{zz}$, $J_{pm}$ and $J_{zpm}$ on the pyrochlore lattice. Starting from the quantum rotor model introduced by Savary and Balents in Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 037202 (2012), we retain the dynamics of both the spinons and gauge field sectors in our treatment. The spinons are described by a bosonic representation of quantum XY rotors while the dynamics of the gauge field is captured by a phenomenological Hamiltonian. By calculating the one-loop spinon self-energy, which is proportional to $J_{zpm}^2$, we determine the stability region of the U$(1)$ quantum spin liquid phase in the $J_{pm}/J_{zz}$ vs $J_{zpm}/J_{zz}$ zero temperature phase diagram. From these results, we estimate the location of the boundaries between the spin liquid phase and classical long-range ordered phases.

Recently Wang and Cheng proposed a self-consistent effective Hamiltonian theory (SCEHT) for many-body fermionic systems (Wang & Cheng, 2019). This paper attempts to provide a mathematical foundation to the formulation of the SCEHT that enables furthe
r study of excited states of the system in a more systematic and theoretical manner. Gauge fields are introduced and correct total energy functional in relations to the coupling gauge field is given. We also provides a Monte-Carlo numerical scheme for the search of the ground state that goes beyond the SCEHT.
A numerical bootstrap method is proposed to provide rigorous and nontrivial bounds in general quantum many-body systems with locality. In particular, lower bounds on ground state energies of local lattice systems are obtained by imposing positivity c
onstraints on certain operator expectation values. Complemented with variational upper bounds, ground state observables are constrained to be within a narrow range. The method is demonstrated with the Hubbard model in one and two dimensions, and bounds on ground state double occupancy and magnetization are discussed.
Quantum phase transitions are a ubiquitous many-body phenomenon that occurs in a wide range of physical systems, including superconductors, quantum spin liquids, and topological materials. However, investigations of quantum critical systems also repr
esent one of the most challenging problems in physics, since highly correlated many-body systems rarely allow for an analytic and tractable description. Here we present a Lee-Yang theory of quantum phase transitions including a method to determine quantum critical points which readily can be implemented within the tensor network formalism and even in realistic experimental setups. We apply our method to a quantum Ising chain and the anisotropic quantum Heisenberg model and show how the critical behavior can be predicted by calculating or measuring the high cumulants of properly defined operators. Our approach provides a powerful formalism to analyze quantum phase transitions using tensor networks, and it paves the way for systematic investigations of quantum criticality in two-dimensional systems.
In this paper, we characterize quasicrystalline interacting topological phases of matter i.e., phases protected by some quasicrystalline structure. We show that the elasticity theory of quasicrystals, which accounts for both phonon and phason modes,
admits non-trivial quantized topological terms with far richer structure than their crystalline counterparts. We show that these terms correspond to distinct phases of matter and also uncover intrinsically quasicrystalline phases, which have no crystalline analogues. For quasicrystals with internal $mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetry, we discuss a number of interpretations and physical implications of the topological terms, including constraints on the mobility of dislocations in $d=2$ quasicrystals and a quasicrystalline generalization of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis-Oshikawa-Hastings theorem. We then extend these ideas much further and address the complete classification of quasicrystalline topological phases, including systems with point-group symmetry as well as non-invertible phases. We hence obtain the Quasicrystalline Equivalence Principle, which generalizes the classification of crystalline topological phases to the quasicrystalline setting.
The natural excitations of an interacting one-dimensional system at low energy are hydrodynamic modes of Luttinger liquid, protected by the Lorentz invariance of the linear dispersion. We show that beyond low energies, where quadratic dispersion redu
ces the symmetry to Galilean, the main character of the many-body excitations changes into a hierarchy: calculations of dynamic correlation functions for fermions (without spin) show that the spectral weights of the excitations are proportional to powers of $mathcal{R}^{2}/L^{2}$, where $mathcal{R}$ is a length-scale related to interactions and $L$ is the system length. Thus only small numbers of excitations carry the principal spectral power in representative regions on the energy-momentum planes. We have analysed the spectral function in detail and have shown that the first-level (strongest) excitations form a mode with parabolic dispersion, like that of a renormalised single particle. The second-level excitations produce a singular power-law line shape to the first-level mode and multiple power-laws at the spectral edge. We have illustrated crossover to Luttinger liquid at low energy by calculating the local density of state through all energy scales: from linear to non-linear, and to above the chemical potential energies. In order to test this model, we have carried out experiments to measure momentum-resolved tunnelling of electrons (fermions with spin) from/to a wire formed within a GaAs heterostructure. We observe well-resolved spin-charge separation at low energy with appreciable interaction strength and only a parabolic dispersion of the first-level mode at higher energies. We find structure resembling the second-level excitations, which dies away rapidly at high momentum in line with the theoretical predictions here.
