Title: SU(2)-Symmetric Spin-Boson Model: Quantum Criticality, Fixed-Point Annihilation, and Duality
Authors: Manuel Weber, Matthias Vojta
Abstract summary: We present high-accuracy quantum Monte Carlo results for the SU(2)-symmetric $S=1/2$ spin-boson (or Bose-Kondo) model. Using a detailed scaling analysis, we provide direct numerical evidence for the collision and annihilation of two RG fixed points at $sast = 0.6540(2)$.

Abstract: The annihilation of two intermediate-coupling renormalization-group (RG) fixed points is of interest in diverse fields from statistical mechanics to high-energy physics, but has so far only been studied using perturbative techniques. Here we present high-accuracy quantum Monte Carlo results for the SU(2)-symmetric $S=1/2$ spin-boson (or Bose-Kondo) model. We study the model with a power-law bath spectrum $\propto \omega^s$ where, in addition to a critical phase predicted by perturbative RG, a stable strong-coupling phase is present. Using a detailed scaling analysis, we provide direct numerical evidence for the collision and annihilation of two RG fixed points at $s^\ast = 0.6540(2)$, causing the critical phase to disappear for $s<s^\ast$. In particular, we uncover a surprising duality between the two fixed points, corresponding to a reflection symmetry of the RG beta function, which we utilize to make analytical predictions at strong coupling which are in excellent agreement with numerics. Our work makes phenomena of fixed-point annihilation accessible to large-scale simulations, and we comment on the consequences for impurity moments in critical magnets.

KPZ scaling from the Krylov space [83.88591755871734]
Recently, a superdiffusion exhibiting the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang scaling in late-time correlators and autocorrelators has been reported. Inspired by these results, we explore the KPZ scaling in correlation functions using their realization in the Krylov operator basis.

Quantum Fluctuations Suppress the Critical Fields in BaCo$_2$(AsO$_4$)$_2$ [0.0]
BaCo$$(AsO$_4$)$$ recently emerged as a candidate host for bond-dependent (e.g. Kitaev) and third-neighbor ($J_3$) interactions. We map out the intermediate and high-field phase diagram of BaCo$$(AsO$_4$)$ as a function of the out-of-plane magnetic field direction.

Tunable quantum criticality and pseudocriticality across the fixed-point annihilation in the anisotropic spin-boson model [0.26107298043931204]
We study the nontrivial renormalization-group scenario of fixed-point annihilation in spin-boson models. We find a tunable transition between two localized phases that can be continuous or strongly first-order. We also find scaling behavior at the symmetry-enhanced first-order transition, for which the inverse correlation-length exponent is given by the bath exponent.

We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

We establish quantum features of an atomic soliton Josephson junction (SJJ) device. We show that the SJJ-model in quantum domain exhibits unusual features due to its effective nonlinear strength proportional to the square of total particle number. We have shown that the obtained quantum state is more resistant to few particle losses from the condensates if tiny components of entangled Fock states are present.

Resilience of the superradiant phase against $\mathbf {A^2}$ effects in the quantum Rabi dimer [0.0]
We study the quantum criticality of a two-site model combining quantum Rabi models with hopping interaction. We find that the model allows the appearance of a superradiant quantum phase transition (QPT) even in the presence of strong $mathbfA2$ terms. Our work provides a way to the study of phase transitions in presence of the $mathbfA2$ terms and offers the prospect of investigating quantum-criticality physics and quantum devices in many-body systems.
