The dynamics of quantum criticality: Quantum Monte Carlo and holography

William Witczak‐Krempa, Erik Schwartz Sørensen, Subir Sachdev A

Understanding the real time dynamics of quantum systems without quasiparticles constitutes an important yet challenging problem. We study the superfluid-insulator quantum-critical point of bosons on a two-dimensional lattice, a system whose excitations cannot be described in a quasiparticle basis. We present detailed quantum Monte Carlo results for two separate lattice realizations: their low-frequency conductivities are found to have the same universal dependence on imaginary frequency and temperature. We then use the structure of the real time dynamics of conformal field theories described by the holographic gauge/gravity duality to make progress on the dicult problem of analytically continuing the Monte Carlo data to real time. Our method yields quantitative and experimentally testable results on the frequency-dependent conductivity near the quantum critical point, and on the spectrum of quasinormal modes in the vicinity of the superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition. Extensions to other observables and universality classes are discussed.

Nonuniversal critical dynamics in Monte Carlo simulations

Robert H. Swendsen, Jian‐Sheng Wang

A new approach to Monte Carlo simulations is presented, giving a highly efficient method of simulation for large systems near criticality. The algorithm violates dynamic universality at second-order phase transitions, producing unusually small values of the dynamical critical exponent.

Monte Carlo simulations of short-time critical dynamics with a conserved quantity

Bo Zheng, H. J. Luo

With Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate short-time critical dynamics of the three-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model with a globally conserved magnetization m(s) (not the order parameter). From the power law behavior of the staggered magnetization (the order parameter), its second moment and the autocorrelation, we determine all static and dynamic critical exponents as well as the critical temperature. The universality class of m(s)=0 is the same as that without a conserved quantity, but the universality class of nonzero m(s) is different.
