Title: Diagrammatic bosonization and aspects of criticality in parquet approaches
Abstract: We demonstrate, using the recent single-boson exchange (SBE) reformulation of the parquet equations, how the diagrammatics of parquet approaches can be faithfully mapped onto purely bosonic diagrammatics of a conventional (s-wave) order-parameter. We show how this mapping can be used to study the critical properties of parquet approaches. Revisiting a conjecture of Bickers and Scalapino, we show that, at finite temperatures, the parquet approximation yields critical exponents equivalent to those of a self-consistent version of the large-N resummation of the order-parameter theory. We discuss the role of the electron self-energy and crossing symmetry in enforcing the Hohenberg–Mermin–Wagner theorem.

Title: Obstructions to Quantum State Preparation: From Topology to Computational Complexity
Abstract: The complexity of the quantum many-body problem is well known to be fully reflected in the generally hard task of quantum state preparation. In this talk, we discuss the critical slowdown of disipative state preparation protocols due to two fundamental obstructions: topological quantum phase transitions and the computational complexity of combinatorial problems the solution to which is encoded in the targeted quantum many-body state. Specifically, we relate the complexity of a given obstruction directly to the finite size scaling of the dissipative dynamics. Finally, we discuss implications on realizing or simulating state preparation protocols both on classical and quantum devices.

Title: Interferometric probe for the zeros of the many-body wavefunction
Abstract: Nodal surfaces of the many-body wavefunction encode fundamental information about particle statistics and interactions, playing a central role in determining the properties of correlated quantum systems. Despite their importance for many-body dynamics and quantum phases of matter, precise statements about their structure are difficult to formulate, and they remain challenging to characterize and access experimentally. I will present exact results for the nodal structure of repulsive two-component fermionic wavefunctions confined on one-dimensional ring geometries, obtained from the Bethe Ansatz solution, and show how these features can be probed in ultracold-atom experiments. Distinguishing between symmetry-dictated nodes, enforced by particle statistics, and non-symmetry-dictated nodes arising from interactions, I will demonstrate how the spin degrees of freedom modify the nodal geometry, leading to cusp-like structures in the many-body wavefunction. I will then show that nodal surfaces give rise to sharp dislocations in interference fringes in a self-heterodyne interferometric protocol. These results establish nodal structures as experimentally measurable objects and provide a route to their identification through interferometric measurements without requiring full reconstruction of the many-body wavefunction.

Title: Finite-temperature phase diagram of the one-dimensional disordered Bose gas
Abstract: We determine the finite-temperature phase diagram of a one-dimensional disordered Bose gas using bosonization and the nonperturbative functional renormalization group (RG). We discuss two different scenarios, based on distinct truncations of the effective action. In the first scenario, the Bose glass is destabilized at any finite temperature, giving rise to a normal fluid. Nevertheless, one can identify a low-temperature glassy regime, where disorder plays an important role on intermediate length and time scales. In the second scenario, below a temperature Tc, the RG flow exhibits a singularity at a finite value of the RG momentum scale. We propose that this singularity signals a lack of thermalization and the existence of a many-body localized phase for T<Tc

Title: Spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry at a non-conformal quantum critical point in one dimension
Abstract: In this work, we present evidence for the spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry in a nearest-neighbour interacting spin-1 chain tuned to a quantum critical point at T=0 between two XY quasi-long-range order phases differing by the spontaneous breaking of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Our matrix product state results reveal that the quantum phase transition has an anomalous dimension of $\eta \simeq 1$ together with the dynamical critical exponent $z\simeq 3/2$, known from the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class in one dimension. We perform a perturbative renormalization group calculation about the upper critical dimension $d_c=2$ which we could close at second loop order. We find an interacting fixed point with critical exponents distinct from the Ising ones. Together, our findings suggest the nature of the fixed point to be non-perturbative. We propose a field theory that we believe to improve the quantitative results.
