A determinantal quantum Monte Carlo study of deconfined quantum criticality

ORAL

Abstract

We study an interacting electron-dimer model on the square lattice using the determinantal quantum Monte Carlo technique. We present evidence for a deconfined quantum critical point between antiferromagnetic and columnar valence-bond solid phases and examine the properties of the critical point.
