Dissipative quantum phase transitions and high-temperature superconductors
This thesis presents seven research papers on topics in condensed-matter theory. Five of the papers report on Monte Carlo studies of quantum phase transitions in various (d+1)-dimensional statistical mechanics models featuring Caldeira-Leggettlike dissipation. The principal motivation for these stud...
