An unfitted boundary algebraic equation method with static-dynamic reduction for evolving implicit geometries

Repeated elliptic solves on domains with evolving boundaries arise in moving-interface simulation, design, and reactive navigation. Even when a fixed Cartesian grid avoids remeshing, rebuilding all boundary interactions for every configuration can limit the efficiency of repeated solves. We develop a static--dynamic boundary reduction for an unfitted lattice Green's function method on prescribed moving planar domains. Like boundary integral and boundary element methods, the formulation reduces the problem to boundary-supported unknowns through a Green representation. Its construction, however, reverses the usual order: the Cartesian operator is discretized before the Green representation is formed, rather than representing the continuous problem first and then discretizing the boundary. This discretize-then-represent viewpoint avoids boundary meshes and singular quadrature. The method also separates interactions associated with stationary geometry from those affected by motion, reuses the invariant part throughout a simulation, and updates only couplings involving the changing boundary. Boundary conditions are imposed at true interface intersections, lattice-kernel data are reused, and the interior field is reconstructed by a fast sine-transform solver. The principal contribution is an implemented and validated update strategy for translating, deforming, appearing, and topology-changing obstacles.

Dissipative Majorana quantum wires

In this paper, we formulate and quantitatively examine the effect of dissipation on topological systems. We use a specific model of Kitaev quantum wire with an onsite Ohmic dissipation, and perform a numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulation to investigate this interacting open quantum system with a strong system-bath (SB) coupling beyond the scope of Born-Markovian approximation. We concentrate on the effect of dissipation on the topological features of the system (e.g. the Majorana edge mode) at zero temperature, and find that even though the topological phase is robust against weak SB couplings as it is supposed to be, it will eventually be destroyed by sufficiently strong dissipations via either a continuous quantum phase transition or a crossover depending on the symmetry of the system. The dissipation-driven quantum criticality is also discussed. In addition, using the framework of Abelian bosonization, we provide an analytical description of the interplay between pairing, dissipation and interaction in our model.
