This category explores the fascinating world of quantum gases, where scientists cool atoms to temperatures near absolute zero to create exotic states of matter. In these extreme conditions, individual atoms begin to behave like a single giant wave, revealing strange quantum effects that are usually hidden in our everyday warm world. These experiments help researchers understand the fundamental rules governing matter and could one day lead to revolutionary new technologies like ultra-precise sensors or quantum computers.

On Gist.Science, we process every new preprint in this field directly from arXiv to make these complex discoveries accessible to everyone.

Below are the latest papers from arXiv in Cond-Mat — Quant-Gas, freshly summarized and ready for you to explore.

Simulating Quantum Field Theories with Boundaries in Curved Spacetimes Using Open Spin Systems

This paper presents a framework for simulating (1+1)(1+1)-dimensional quantum field theories with boundaries in curved spacetimes using open spin systems, demonstrating that by deriving and implementing specific boundary conditions for Majorana fermions, these lattice models accurately reproduce continuum QFT dynamics, spectra, and responses.

Finite-Temperature Dynamical Phase Diagram of the 2+12+1D Quantum Ising Model

This paper introduces an efficient equilibrium quantum Monte Carlo framework that leverages energy conservation and self-thermalization to map the finite-temperature dynamical phase diagram of the 2+12+1D quantum Ising model, revealing unexpected cooling effects and ferromagnetic transitions from paramagnetic states without explicitly simulating unitary time evolution.

Singular three-point density correlations in two-dimensional Fermi liquids

This paper identifies a generic q1×q2|\mathbf{q}_1\times\mathbf{q}_2| singularity in the equal-time three-point density correlations of two-dimensional Fermi liquids, demonstrating that its coefficient is determined by the quantized Euler characteristic in non-interacting systems and renormalized by Landau parameters in interacting ones, thereby implying long-range real-space correlations favoring collinear configurations.

Dissipation as a Resource: Synchronization, Coherence Recovery, and Chaos Control

This paper demonstrates that dissipation, typically viewed as a detrimental source of decoherence, can be harnessed as a resource in a Bose-Josephson junction to engineer distinct dynamical phases—including synchronization, coherence recovery, and controlled chaos—thereby enabling the manipulation of quantum coherence and the duration of information scrambling.

Towards the complete description of stationary states of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice: A coding approach

This paper establishes and numerically verifies sufficient conditions for a one-to-one correspondence between stationary states of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice and bi-infinite sequences over a finite alphabet, thereby providing a coding framework to describe these states.
