We present an analytical strong-disorder renormalization group theory of the quantum phase transition in the dissipative random transverse-field Ising chain. For Ohmic dissipation, we solve the renormalization flow equations analytically, yielding asymptotically exact results for the low-temperature properties of the system. We find that the interplay between quantum fluctuations and Ohmic dissipation destroys the quantum critical point by smearing. We also determine the phase diagram and the behavior of observables in the vicinity of the smeared quantum phase transition.

Inhomogeneous mean-field approach to collective excitations near the superfluid-Mott glass transition

Martin Puschmann, Joao C. Getelina, Jose A. Hoyos, Thomas Vojta

Summary: The study reveals that the Higgs mode is spatially localized in both phases, while the Goldstone mode delocalizes in the superfluid phase. The scalar spectral function shows a noncritical broad peak, and the lowest-energy Goldstone mode exhibits a zero-frequency spectral peak in the superfluid phase.

Disorder-induced dynamical Griffiths singularities after certain quantum quenches

Jose A. Hoyos, R. F. P. Costa, J. C. Xavier

Summary: We investigate a class of disordered quantum systems and find that the dynamical partition function exhibits non-analytical behavior in a time window after certain quantum quenches. This behavior is attributed to rare and large regions with atypical inhomogeneity configurations. We quantify the strength of the associated singularities and their experimental and numerical signatures.

Adaptive density matrix renormalization group study of the disordered antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain

Alexander H. O. Wada, Jose A. Hoyos

Summary: Using the density-matrix renormalization-group method, we studied the spin-spin correlation measures of a quenched disordered system. The distribution of the bulk correlations, when properly rescaled by an associated Lyapunov exponent, is found to be a narrow and universal probability function.

Powerful method to evaluate the mass gaps of free-particle quantum critical systems

Francisco C. Alcaraz, Jose A. Hoyos, Rodrigo A. Pimenta

Summary: In this study, a numerical method for evaluating mass gaps and low-lying energy gaps of free-fermionic and free-parafermionic quantum chains is proposed, and its effectiveness is demonstrated through examples involving Ising quantum chains with uniform and random coupling constants. The use of the Laguerre bound as an initial guess for the largest root in the method is shown to provide accurate estimates for mass gaps sharing similar finite-size behavior as exact results. Additionally, the method is compared with the strong-disorder renormalization-group method in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy.

Phase diagram of a frustrated Heisenberg model: From disorder to order and back again

Michel M. J. Miranda, Igor C. Almeida, Eric C. Andrade, Jose A. Hoyos

Summary: The study shows that the finite-temperature Ising-type transition of the clean system is destroyed in the presence of any finite concentration of impurities, being replaced by a paramagnet with nematic glass order. This transition is attributed to disorder inducing noncollinear spin-vortex-crystal order and producing a conjugated transverse dipolar random field.

Critical properties of the susceptible-exposed-infected model with correlated temporal disorder

Alexander H. O. Wada, Jose A. Hoyos

Summary: In this paper, the critical properties of the nonequilibrium phase transition of the SEI model under the effects of long-range correlated time-varying environmental noise are studied. It is shown that temporal noise is perturbatively relevant, changing the universality class of the system, and also predicts the difficulty of observing the associated active temporal Griffiths phase in the long-time limit. Additionally, an equivalence between the infinite-noise and the compact directed percolation universality classes is demonstrated by relating the SEI model to the Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton in the limit of compact clusters.
