Abstract: We develop a general theory of frustration-free free-fermion systems and derive their necessary and sufficient conditions. Assuming locality and translation invariance, we find that the possible band touching between the valence bands and the conduction bands is always quadratic or softer, which rules out the possibility of describing Dirac and Weyl semimetals using frustration-free local Hamiltonians. We further construct a frustration-free free-fermion model on the honeycomb lattice and show that its density fluctuations acquire an anomalous gap originating from the diverging quantum metric associated with the quadratic band-touching points. Nevertheless, an $O(1/L^2)$ finite-size scaling of the charge-neutral excitation gap can be verified even in the presence of interactions, consistent with the more general results we derive in an accompany work [arXiv:2503.12879].

Interacting chiral fermions on the lattice with matrix product operator norms [37.69303106863453]
We develop a Hamiltonian formalism for simulating interacting chiral fermions on the lattice. The fermion doubling problem is circumvented by constructing a Fock space endowed with a semi-definite norm. We demonstrate that the scaling limit of the free model recovers the chiral fermion field.

Quantum electrodynamics of lossy magnetodielectric samples in vacuum: modified Langevin noise formalism [55.2480439325792]
We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

Emergence of non-Abelian SU(2) invariance in Abelian frustrated fermionic ladders [37.69303106863453]
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.

Measurement phase transitions in the no-click limit as quantum phase transitions of a non-hermitean vacuum [77.34726150561087]
We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. 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.
