Entanglement in correlated random spin chains, RNA folding and kinetic roughening
Average block entanglement in the 1D XX-model with uncorrelated random couplings is known to grow as the logarithm of the block size, in similarity to conformal systems. In this work we study random spin chains whose couplings present long range correlations, generated as gaussian fields with a power-law spectral funct...

Conformal transformations in modified teleparallel theories of gravity revisited
It is well known that one cannot apply a conformal transformation to $f(T)$ gravity to obtain a minimally coupled scalar field model, and thus no Einstein frame exists for $f(T)$ gravity. Furthermore nonminimally coupled "teleparallel dark energy models" are not conformally equivalent to $f(T)$ gravity. However, it can...

From sudden quench to adiabatic dynamics in the attractive Hubbard model
We study the crossover between the sudden quench limit and the adiabatic dynamics of superconducting states in the attractive Hubbard model. We focus on the dynamics induced by the change of the attractive interaction during a finite ramp time which is varied in order to track the evolution of the dynamical phase diagr...

Diffusion Dynamics and Optimal Coupling in Directed Multiplex Networks
We study the dynamics of diffusion processes acting on directed multiplex networks, i.e., coupled multilayer networks where at least one layer consists of a directed graph. We reveal that directed multiplex networks may exhibit a faster diffusion at an intermediate degree of coupling than when the two layers are fully ...

Magnetization in pristine graphene with Zeeman splitting and variable spin-orbit coupling
The aim of this work is to describe the spin magnetization of graphene with Rashba spinorbit coupling and Zeeman effect. It is shown that the magnetization depends critically on the spin-orbit coupling l that is controlled with an external electric field. In turn, by manipulating the density of charge carriers, it is s...

Integrated nanoplasmonic quantum interfaces for room temperature single photon sources
We describe a general analytical framework of a nanoplasmonic cavity-emitter system interacting with a dielectric photonic waveguide.

Reconfigurable topological phases in next-nearest-neighbor coupled resonator lattices
We present a reconfigurable topological photonic system consisting of a 2D lattice of coupled ring resonators, with two sublattices of site rings coupled by link rings, which can be accurately described by a tight-binding model. Unlike previous coupled-ring topological models, the design is translationally invariant, s...

The Ising model coupled to 2d orders
In this article we make first steps in coupling matter to causal set theory in the path integral. We explore the case of the Ising model coupled to the 2d discrete Einstein Hilbert action, restricted to the 2d orders. We probe the phase diagram in terms of the Wick rotation parameter \b{eta} and the Ising coupling j an...

Spin-lattice Coupling in U(1) Quantum Spin Liquids
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are exotic phases with intrinsic massive entanglements. Instead of microscopic spins, fractionalized particles and gauge fluctuations are emergent, revealing QSLs' exotic natures. Quantum spins with strong spin-orbit coupling on a pyrchlore lattice, for example Pr2Zr2O7, are suggested to hos...

Nonequilibrium dynamics of the O(N) model on dS_3 and AdS crunches
We study the nonperturbative quantum evolution of the interacting O(N) vector model at large-N, formulated on a spatial two-sphere, with time dependent couplings which diverge at finite time. This model - the so-called "E-frame" theory, is related via a conformal transformation to the interacting O(N) model in three di...

Error correction for gate operations in systems of exchange-coupled singlet-triplet qubits in double quantum dots
We present a scheme for correcting for crosstalk- and noise-induced errors in exchange-coupled singlet-triplet semiconductor double quantum dot qubits. While exchange coupling allows the coupling strength to be controlled independently of the intraqubit exchange couplings, there is also the problem of leakage, which mu...

Spatially coupled turbo-like codes: a new trade-off between waterfall and error floor
Spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) have been shown to have excellent decoding thresholds due to the threshold saturation effect. Furthermore, even for moderate block lengths, simulation results demonstrate very good bit error rate performance (BER) in the waterfall region. In this paper, we discuss the effect ...

In non-Hermitian coulped-resonator networks, the eigenvectors of degenerate eigenmodes may become parallel due to the singularity at so-called Exceptional Points (EP). To exploit the parametric sensitivity at EPs, an important problem is, given an arbitrary set of coupled resonators, how to generate a desired EP by pro...
