Emergent orbitals in the cluster Mott insulator on a breathing kagome lattice by Chen, Gang, Lee, Patrick A

“…Furthermore, at low temperatures, each hexagon plaquette contains an extra orbital-like degree of freedom in addition to the remaining spin 1/2. We explore the consequence of this emergent orbital degree of freedom. …”

D., Vajente, G., Ward, R. L., Wipf, Christopher C.

“…The linear operating range is between 0.01% and 1% of a fringe for each degree of freedom. The resonance lock has to be achieved in all five degrees of freedom simultaneously, making the acquisition difficult. …”

Tensor network implementation of bulk entanglement spectrum by Fu, Liang, Qi, Xiao-Liang, Hsieh, Timothy Hwa-wei

“…Many topologically nontrivial states of matter possess gapless degrees of freedom on the boundary, and when these boundary states delocalize into the bulk, a phase transition occurs, and the system becomes topologically trivial. …”

Event-by-event fluctuations and the search for the critical point within the NA49 experiment by Roland, Gunther

“…Among these are new results on hadron ratio fluctuations, in particular K/p fluctuations and their potential connection to the correlation between strangeness and baryon number, thus revealing the basic degrees of freedom produced in heavy-ion collisions.…”

Numerical solution of gravitational dynamics in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes by Chesler, Paul M., Yaffe, Laurence G.

“…A variety of gravitational dynamics problems in asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are amenable to efficient numerical solution using a common approach involving a null slicing of spacetime based on infalling geodesics, convenient exploitation of the residual diffeomorphism freedom, and use of spectral methods for discretizing and solving the resulting differential equations. …”

Rigorous Free-Fermion Entanglement Renormalization from Wavelet Theory by Haegeman, Jutho, Walter, Michael, Cotler, Jordan, Evenbly, Glen, Scholz, Volkher B., Swingle, Brian Gordon

“…These schemes give hierarchical quantum circuits that build up the states from unentangled degrees of freedom. The circuits are based on pairs of discrete wavelet transforms, which are approximately related by a “half-shift”: translation by half a unit cell. …”

Hanbury Brown–Twiss Interference of Anyons by Campagnano, Gabriele, Zilberberg, Oded, Gornyi, Igor V., Feldman, Dmitri E., Potter, Andrew Cole, Gefen, Yuval

“…The correlations we calculate exhibit partial bunching similar to bosons, indicating a substantial statistical transmutation from the underlying electronic degrees of freedom. We also find qualitative differences between the anyonic signal and the corresponding bosonic or fermionic signals, indicating that anyons cannot be simply thought of as intermediate between bosons and fermions.…”

The role of master clock stability in quantum information processing by Ball, Harrison, Oliver, William D, Biercuk, Michael J

“…In the case of the phase degree of freedom in a quantum superposition, however, the coherence that must be preserved is not solely internal to the qubit, but rather necessarily includes that of the qubit relative to the ‘master clock’ (e.g., a local oscillator) that governs its control system. …”
