Exhaustive characterization of quantum many-body scars using commutant algebras
S Moudgalya, OI Motrunich - arXiv preprint arXiv:2209.03377, 2022 - arxiv.org
We study Quantum Many-Body Scars (QMBS) in the language of commutant algebras,
which are defined as symmetry algebras of families of local Hamiltonians. This framework …

Criticality without frustration for quantum spin-1 chains
Frustration-free (FF) spin chains have a property that their ground state minimizes all
individual terms in the chain Hamiltonian. We ask how entangled the ground state of a FF …

Numerical methods for detecting symmetries and commutant algebras
S Moudgalya, OI Motrunich - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
For families of Hamiltonians defined by parts that are local, the most general definition of a
symmetry algebra is the commutant algebra, ie, the algebra of operators that commute with …

[HTML][HTML] Spectral gaps of frustration-free spin systems with boundary
M Lemm, E Mozgunov - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
In quantum many-body systems, the existence of a spectral gap above the ground state has
far-reaching consequences. In this paper, we discuss “finite-size” criteria for having a …
