• Abstract summary: We propose a two-dimensional hard core loop-gas model as a way to regularize theally free massive continuum quantum field theory. Without fine-tuning, our model can reproduce the universal step-scaling function of the classical lattice XY model in the massive phase as we approach the phase transition.

• Abstract: We propose a two-dimensional hard core loop-gas model as a way to regularize the asymptotically free massive continuum quantum field theory that emerges at the BKT transition. Without fine-tuning, our model can reproduce the universal step-scaling function of the classical lattice XY model in the massive phase as we approach the phase transition. This is achieved by lowering the fugacity of Fock-vacuum sites in the loop-gas configuration space to zero in the thermodynamic limit. Some of the universal quantities at the BKT transition show smaller finite size effects in our model as compared to the traditional XY model. Our model is a prime example of qubit regularization of an asymptotically free massive quantum field theory in Euclidean space-time and helps understand how asymptotic freedom can arise as a relevant perturbation at a decoupled fixed point without fine-tuning.

  We present a novel regularization of the infraredally free massive QFT that emerges at the Berezenski-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition through a hard core loop-gas model. We demonstrate that without the need for fine-tuning, it can reproduce the universal step-scaling function of the classical lattice XY model in the massive phase as we approach the phase transition.

  We introduce and study the SU(3)-F qubit regularization scheme to embed the SO(3) spin-symmetry. We construct a simple space-time Euclidean lattice model with a single coupling U and study it using the Monte Carlo method. We show the model has a critical phase at small U and a trivially massive phase at large U with a first order transition separating the two.

• Signatures of a quantum phase transition on a single-mode bosonic model [0.0]
  Equilibrium phase transitions emerge from the microscopic behavior of many-body systems. They can be defined through the non-analytic behavior of thermodynamic potentials in the thermodynamic limit. Taking previous ideas to the extreme, we argue that such a limit can be defined even in non-extended systems.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

Expanding spacetime as well as the background oscillating inflaton field are mimicked in the non-relativistic limit. The proposed experiment has the potential of exploring the evolution up to late times even beyond the weak coupling regime.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
