Our work on the emergence of a 3D Majorana fermion in quantum Hall bilayers has just appeared in @physrevlett.bsky.social Nice to see the fuzzy sphere contributing to long-standing experiemental problems in FQHE journals.aps.org/prl/abstract... @leverhulme.ac.uk

Entanglement reveals universal physics near criticality. But what about magic -- a key resource for quantum computation? In arxiv.org/abs/2602.15116 we introduce the β€œmagic correlation length” that captures universal nonstabilizer correlations. @leverhulme.ac.uk

Our realization of the free scalar conformal field theory in 3D has just come out in @physrevlett.bsky.social
Thanks to our PhD student Joe Taylor and collaborator Ruihua Fan for this nice work. @leverhulmetrust.bsky.social journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...

Our second New Year's arXiv preprint shows how a supersymmetric 3D conformal field theory can emerge at a quantum critical point on a fuzzy sphere. arxiv.org/abs/2512.25054 Thanks to Cristian Voinea and Wei Zhu's group for this collaboration. @leverhulme.ac.uk

Quantum Scars Unmasked A new approach finds useful patterns called quantum scars in the complex dynamics of quantum many-body systems.

Symmetry breaking governs equilibrium physics, while dynamical symmetry restoration shapes nonequilibrium phenomena like the quantum Mpemba effect. Our new preprint explores how long-range interactions tune the interplay between the two: arxiv.org/abs/2510.12875 @leverhulme.ac.uk

Our recent @physrevb.bsky.social Letter and Editors' Suggestion demonstrates the ubiquity of the quantum Mpemba effect in many types of quantum systems. Thanks to our PhD student @tanmaybhore.bsky.social and @ucstonecenter.bsky.social collaborators. @leverhulme.ac.uk journals.aps.org/prb/abstract...

Majorana fermion is an elusive particle that is its own antiparticle. We used the new technique of the "fuzzy sphere" to show how the Majoranas can emerge in a quantum Hall bilayer system tuned to criticality. @leverhulme.ac.uk

Looking forward to starting our 2-week program on quantum thermalization and its violations at the beautiful Instituto Principia (ICTP-SAIFR) in Sao Paulo! www.ictp-saifr.org/pqmbd2025/ @leverhulme.ac.uk

Wonderful to be back at ICTP to present our recent results on 3D conformal field theories, just before a storm kicked in. @leverhulme.ac.uk indico.ictp.it/event/10855/...

Regularizing 3D Conformal Field Theories via Anyons on the Fuzzy Sphere Simulations on a fuzzy sphere show that 3D Ising critical behavior persists even in fractional quantum Hall states, revealing a powerful method for studying conformal field theories amid topological o...

How do you get a free conformal field theory from a system of strongly interacting electrons? Our new fuzzy sphere paper by our PhD students, Joe and Cristian, gives one recipe. arxiv.org/abs/2506.22539 @leverhulme.ac.uk

Recently, the Mpemba effect -- hot water freezing faster than cold one -- has attracted much attention in quantum physics. In arxiv.org/abs/2505.17181 we argue that this effect is ubiquitous in a wide range of quantum systems and propose its simple diagnostic. @leverhulme.ac.uk

Delighted to announce our paper has just been published in Communications Physics - where we elucidate the mechanism behind some intriguing phenomena in the strong-coupling limit of a 1D lattice gauge theory.

In our new preprint, we show that noisy quantum many-body scars can display a PT-symmetry breaking transition, explaining their unexpected robustness to dephasing. arxiv.org/abs/2504.12291 @leverhulme.ac.uk
