The central selling point of qubit-based quantum processors is that they can supposedly solve certain types of tasks much faster than a classical computer. This comes however with the major ...

In 1869, Thomas Andrews introduced the idea of a critical point 1 which appears in the phase diagram of every fluid, beyond which there is no sharp distinction between a liquid and a gas. Subsequently ...

Annals of Mathematics, SECOND SERIES, Vol. 181, No. 3 (May, 2015), pp. 1087-1138 (52 pages) We rigorously prove the existence and the conformal invariance of scaling limits of the magnetization and ...

In this paper, we consider the set of interfaces between + and − spins arising for the critical planar Ising model on a domain with + boundary conditions, and show that it converges to nested CLE₃.

Simulated low temperature (left) and high temperature (right) phase of a 2D Ising model, where blue points are spins pointing up, and the red points are spins pointing down. Notice that the spins in ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Center for Correlated Electron Systems, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea, in collaboration with Sogang University and Seoul National ...

Quantum annealers are devices that physically implement a quantum system called the 'Ising model' to solve combinatorial optimization problems. However, the coefficients of the Ising model often ...
