Abstract

Disordered stealthy hyperuniform (SHU) systems are emerging as platforms for controlling classical and quantum transport due to vanishing single-scattering contributions in the stealthy regime. Here, to our knowledge, we present the first perturbation theory of one-dimensional quantum transport through a continuum of identical point scatterers with SHU positional disorder. Our perturbation theory indicates the exact cancellation of all the lower-order terms due to the Fourier-space stealthy condition $S(q)=0$, and the further suppression of the lowest non-vanishing fourth order in the Lyapunov exponent $λ(k)$ due to the real-space hyperuniform constraint $\lim\limits_{D\to\infty}σ_D^2=c<\infty$. Our findings presents universal implications of the general wave-propagation phenomena in disordered SHU systems.

Nonequilibrium DC Current Generation in a Driven Dissipative Haldane Model

The interplay of topology with nonequilibrium driving and dissipation in open quantum systems has recently attracted significant interest in condensed matter physics. In this work, we investigate a driven, dissipative Haldane model using large-scale numerical simulations of Lindblad dynamics. We show that the system evolves into a time-periodic quasi-steady state when subjected to driving and dissipation, with nonequilibrium band occupations. To characterize this regime, we introduce an occupation-weighted Chern number as a nonquantized diagnostic constructed from the steady-state occupations and the geometry of the unperturbed bands. We further analyze charge transport in the presence of simultaneous driving and damping and demonstrate that a finite DC bulk current emerges when inversion symmetry is broken by a staggered sublattice potential. The magnitude and direction of this current are controlled by the driving amplitude, revealing a tunable nonequilibrium transport response enabled by inversion-symmetry breaking.

Quenched fluctuation-induced force arising from polarization disorder

We investigate the zero-temperature behavior of the fluctuation force induced by the quenched disorder of electric dipoles frozen randomly into a material. Examples of such materials include relaxor ferroelectrics. In terms of the setup and geometry, we focus on a layered system comprising two coplanar semi-infinite slabs separated by a distance $\ell$ as well as a system comprising a neutral atom in the vacuum located at a distance $\ell$ above the surface of a semi-infinite slab. For both systems, we consider the cases where the quenched random dipolar disorder occurs inside the bulk as well as on the surface of the slabs. In all of these cases, we find that the bulk (surface) dipolar disorder-induced force grows with the mean square quenched electric dipole moment per unit volume (area). The bulk (surface) dipolar disorder-induced pressure between two semi-infinite single-layered slabs decays with $\ell^{-3}$ ($\ell^{-4}$), whereas the bulk (surface) dipolar disorder-induced force on an atom in the vacuum near a slab containing the disorder decays with $\ell^{-4}$ ($\ell^{-5}$). We also find that the quenched dipolar disorder-induced force between two coplanar slabs can be repulsive in a three-layered dielectric system that obeys a zero-frequency analogue of the Dzyaloshinskii-Lifshitz-Pitaevskii condition, and serve to enhance the ``nanolevitation effect" if the latter is present in the disorder-free system.

Disorder-driven loss of crystalline coherence in two-dimensional electron solids: Quantum Hartree-Fock and classical molecular dynamics

We investigate the effects of quenched disorder on two-dimensional electron solids using Hartree-Fock theory and classical molecular dynamics. Increasing disorder weakens crystalline correlations, broadens the structure factor, and reduces the measured coherence length toward the pristine lattice spacing. This evolution is consistent with the Imry-Ma and Larkin picture: random pinning disrupts translational order on sufficiently long scales, and stronger disorder reduces the distance over which crystalline organization survives. Classical simulations further show that stronger pinning raises the temperature for particle rearrangement even after crystalline order has disappeared. Disorder thus suppresses structural coherence while stabilizing an amorphous solid against thermal rearrangement.
