abstract

Continuous phase transitions in equilibrium statistical mechanics were successfully described 50 years ago with the development of the renormalization group framework. This framework was initially developed in the context of phase transitions whose universal properties are captured by the long wavelength (and long time) fluctuations of a Landau order parameter field. Subsequent developments include a straightforward generalization to a class of $T = 0$ phase transitions driven by quantum fluctuations. In the last 2 decades it has become clear that there is a vast landscape of quantum phase transitions where the physics is not always usefully (or sometimes cannot be) formulated in terms of fluctuations of a Landau order parameter field. A wide class of such phase transitions - dubbed deconfined quantum critical points - involve the emergence of fractionalized degrees of freedom coupled to emergent gauge fields. Here I review some salient aspects of these deconfined critical points.

    quant-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Weak Z-type measurements on a 1D deconfined quantum critical analog cause asymmetric entanglement restructuring, with the (↓↓) outcome increasing entanglement for K<K_c and decreasing it for K>K_c, suggesting a weak f...

  4. Bootstrapping the Simplest Deconfined Quantum Critical Point

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Conformal bootstrap bounds for U(1)-charged scalars in 3d are saturated by the CP^2 model's large-N and lattice predictions, suggesting the CP^2 deconfined quantum critical point is a conformal field theory.
