Quantum phase transition induced by topological frustration

V Marić, SM Giampaolo, F Franchini - Communications Physics, 2020 - nature.com
In quantum many-body systems with local interactions, the effects of boundary conditions
are considered to be negligible, at least for sufficiently large systems. Here we show an …

The frustration of being odd: universal area law violation in local systems

SM Giampaolo, FB Ramos… - Journal of Physics …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
At the core of every frustrated system, one can identify the existence of frustrated rings that
are usually interpreted in terms of single–particle physics. We check this point of view …

Effects of defects in the XY chain with frustrated boundary conditions

G Torre, V Marić, F Franchini, SM Giampaolo - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
It has been recently proven that new types of bulk local order can ensue due to frustrated
boundary condition, that is, periodic boundary conditions with an odd number of lattice sites …
