Abstract

We report on experimental studies of the character of phase transitions in the quasi-1D organic compound (TMTSF)2PF6 in the close vicinity of the borders between the paramagnetic metal PM, antiferromagnetic insulator AF, and superconducting SC states. In order to drive the system through the phase border P_0(T_0), the sample was maintained at fixed temperature T and pressure P, whereas the critical pressure P_0 was tuned by applying the magnetic field B. In this approach, the magnetic field was used (i) for tuning (P-P_0), and (ii) for identifying the phase composition (due to qualitatively different magnetoresistance behavior in different phases). Experimentally, we measured R(B) and its temperature dependence R(B,T) in the pressure range (0 - 1)GPa. Our studies focus on the features of the magnetoresistance at the phase transition between the PM and AF phases, in the close vicinity to the superconducting transition at T~1K. We found pronounced history effects arising when the AF/PM phase border is crossed by sweeping the magnetic field: the resistance depends on a trajectory which the system arrives at a given point of the P-B-T phase space. In the transition from the PM to AF phase, the features of the PM phase extends well into the AF phase. At the opposite transition from the AF to PM phase, the features of the AF phase are observed in the PM phase. These results evidence for a macroscopically inhomogeneous state, which contains macroscopic inclusions of the minority phase. When the system is driven away from the transition, the homogeneous state is restored; upon a return motion to the phase boundary, no signatures of the minority phase are observed up to the very phase boundary.

Point-Group Equivariant Neural Networks for Local Dynamics in Lattice Systems

We develop point-group equivariant neural networks for learning local mappings used in dynamical simulations of lattice systems. The same network acts on a finite neighborhood around each site, respecting lattice translations through shared parameters. The local configuration is decomposed into features that transform according to irreducible representations of the point group, and hidden features retain this organization throughout the network. Equivariant linear maps and symmetry-allowed tensor products then learn nonlinear spatial correlations while preserving the required transformation laws. This approach avoids constructing a fixed set of hand-crafted invariant descriptors, whose selection requires choices about which local correlations to retain. It also allows the complexity of the learned mapping to grow without enlarging its spatial cutoff. We demonstrate the construction by learning the forces governing adiabatic dynamics in the square-lattice Holstein model. Comparisons with exact diagonalization test the accuracy of the predicted forces and the evolution of spatial correlations. Force evaluation scales linearly with system size, allowing the trained model to simulate charge-density-wave ordering on large lattices. These simulations reproduce anomalously slow coarsening of the charge-density-wave domains, illustrating the use of the learned local mapping for collective dynamics.

Topological Chiral Superconductivity from Doping Correlated Charge Transfer Insulator with Orbital Magnetism

Topological chiral superconductivity has been extensively studied from the perspective of electronic structures in momentum space, while its emergence from real-space processes in strongly interacting systems remains largely unexplored. Here, we study a doped charge-transfer insulator in a strongly repulsive spinless-fermion model with three sublattices and $2π$ flux per unit cell. Combining perturbative analysis, exact diagonalization, and density matrix renormalization group simulations, we establish a topological superconducting ground state with $p+ip$ symmetry. In the large charge-transfer gap limit, chiral charge-transfer excitations generate a correlated-hopping process that provides a microscopic mechanism for electron pairing and its chiral structure. The chiral superconductivity persists into the smaller-gap regime, where chiral excitonic two-particle bound state can emerge. Our results establish a concrete real-space route to topological chiral superconductivity upon doping strongly interacting charge-transfer insulators with orbital magnetism.

Solving fractional quantum Hall problems with thermodynamic-limit bootstrap

Determining correlated ground states directly in the thermodynamic limit remains a central challenge in quantum many-body physics. Here we develop a quantum many-body bootstrap that yields a rigorous and tight lower bound on the thermodynamic ground-state energy of a fractional quantum Hall system together with an optimized reduced density matrix $ρ_W^\star$ on a spatial window. For sufficiently tight bounds, we find that $ρ_W^\star$ accurately reproduces the ground-state reduced density matrix, as directly tested by its fidelity with known model states. For exactly solvable Laughlin and Moore--Read parent Hamiltonians, the bootstrap also reproduces pair correlations and orbital entanglement spectra (OES). For Landau-level-projected Coulomb interactions across multiple fillings, the energy bounds closely track established thermodynamic estimates, while the window density matrix recovers the familiar $ν=1/3$ Laughlin and $ν=5/2$ Moore--Read states and the composite Fermi liquid at $ν=1/2$. More importantly, the same framework also resolves unsettled regimes. At $ν=1/4$, the OES and real-space correlations identify a composite Fermi liquid, while at $ν=12/5$ the combined diagnostics suggest $\overline{\mathrm{RR}}_3$ as the ground-state order. Our bootstrap therefore provides direct access to both ground-state energies and many-body structure in the thermodynamic limit.
