Abstract

Gauge-Higgs theory in flat spacetime provides a prime theoretical model of multiple phases of matter with distinct entanglement structures. More recently, there has been interest in hyperbolic space and the influence its extensive boundaries have on these structures. Entanglement transitions between non-equilibrium phases, such as topological phases, can be realized by the competition of non-commutating measurements. Here we study the entanglement phases of gauge-Higgs models on hyperbolic lattices described by measurement-only dynamics. We chart 2D phase diagrams by employing topological entanglement entropy and introducing a generalized measurement-induced entanglement tailored for hyperbolic Higgs phases. Utilizing duality, we find a phase absent in Euclidean space, wherein the bulk lattice hosts separated clusters of symmetry-protected topological order. Transitions between this "archipelago" phase and neighboring topological and trivial phases feature a critical exponent $δ$ belonging to a mean-field universality class. Our essential tool is a 3D resource state inspired by measurement-based quantum computation that simulates the spacetime evolution of the 2D quantum state with a third direction of entanglement. This allows us to analyze spacetime "sponges" of entanglement, which map to classical percolation theory and allow us to infer values of critical points on our phase diagrams' boundaries.

Continuum neural wavefunctions for anyons on a torus

Mobile anyons in topologically ordered phases provide a setting to investigate how fractional exchange statistics shapes collective behavior at finite density. We introduce AnyFormer: a neural variational framework for continuum anyons on a torus that explicitly incorporates statistical interactions and global winding constraints. We construct a smooth orbital frame that enforces the matrix-valued torus boundary conditions, and supplement it with an analytic pair factor that supplies the regular collision behavior. The orbital geometry and many-body amplitudes are optimized in parallel by variational Monte Carlo. We apply AnyFormer to semions without an external field or interaction potential, isolating unique correlations generated solely by statistics. Our framework closely matches exact two-semion energies and yields lower variational energies than finite-cutoff exact diagonalization for $N = 4$ and $6$ semions. Scaling up to $N = 16$ semions, well beyond the limits of continuum diagonalization, our calculations reveal states with pronounced correlation holes, suppressed long-wavelength density fluctuations, and a reversal of pair circulation at a distance set by the mean particle spacing. For $N = 12$ and $16$ semions, the circulation develops damped spatial oscillations. AnyFormer thus provides a scalable variational neural-net framework for microscopic studies of correlations, chiral motion, and collective phases of bulk anyonic matter.

Slave-rotor theory of correlated altermagnets on the Lieb lattice

We investigate the metal-insulator transition driven by the onsite repulsive interaction $U$ in an altermagnetic Hubbard model defined on a Lieb lattice. Using the slave-rotor approach at half-filling, we find that the system exhibits a cascade of interaction-driven phase transitions. As $U$ increases, the system evolves from a normal metal to an altermagnetic metal, then to an altermagnetic insulator, and eventually to an altermagnetic Mott insulator characterized by the complete suppression of the quasiparticle weight. These phases are supported by the calculation of the electronic spectral function, which features spin-split bands in both the metallic and insulating regimes. However, the spin splitting becomes substantially suppressed in the Mott-insulating phase. Our results suggest that the observation of spin splitting in the spectral function of $d$-wave altermagnets with a Lieb-lattice-like structure may be limited to the weak-to-moderate correlation regime.

Electronic correlations and dynamical screening with ab initio quantum embedding

First-principles descriptions of correlated quantum materials require a simultaneous treatment of strong local many-body effects and nonlocal dynamical screening. We present an efficient fully self-consistent implementation of $GW$+EDMFT that combines nonlocal correlations at the $GW$ level with a non-perturbative treatment of local correlations within extended dynamical mean-field theory (EDMFT), with a well-defined double-counting correction and a self-consistently determined impurity interaction. Self-consistency in both the Green's function and the dynamically screened interaction is essential for describing screening processes across energy scales. A key ingredient that makes it computationally feasible is the compression of two-particle correlation functions using interpolative separable density fitting (ISDF). Applying the scheme to the Mott insulator SrMnO$_3$ and the correlated metal LaNiO$_3$, we show that the self-consistent effective local interaction resolves the overscreening inherent to constrained-RPA approaches. For SrMnO$_3$, this stabilizes a Mott-insulating state in quantitative agreement with experiment, while for LaNiO$_3$ local EDMFT corrections yield a quasiparticle mass enhancement consistent with ARPES. These results establish fully self-consistent $GW$+EDMFT as a reliable \emph{ab initio} framework for strongly correlated quantum materials.
