Laserless trapped-ion quantum simulations without spontaneous scattering using microtrap arrays

J Chiaverini, WE Lybarger Jr - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2008 - APS
We propose an architecture and methodology for large-scale quantum simulations using
hyperfine states of trapped ions in an arbitrary-layout microtrap array with laserless …

Direct Measurement of the Bose-Einstein Condensation Universality Class in at Ultralow Temperatures

L Yin, JS Xia, VS Zapf, NS Sullivan, A Paduan-Filho - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
In this work, we demonstrate field-induced Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the organic
compound NiCl 2-4 SC (NH 2) 2 using ac susceptibility measurements down to 1 mK. The Ni …

Emergent symmetry and dimensional reduction at a quantum critical point

J Schmalian, CD Batista - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2008 - APS
We show that the spatial dimensionality of the quantum critical point associated with Bose–
Einstein condensation at T= 0 is reduced when the underlying lattice comprises a set of …

Ground state and thermal transitions in field-induced spin-supersolid phase

P Sengupta, CD Batista - Journal of Applied Physics, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
We use a quantum Monte Carlo method to study the ground state and thermodynamic phase
transitions of the spin-supersolid phase in the S= 1 Heisenberg model with uniaxial …

Density Matrix Renormalization Group and Quantum Information applied to Quantum Critical Phenomena in One-Dimensional Systems

L Tincani - 2008 - archiv.ub.uni-marburg.de
We investigate three different types of quantum phase transition occurring in quasi one-
dimensional systems theoretically and numerically. First, we study the band-insulator to Mott …
