DECONFINED QUANTUM CRITICALITY IN 2D SU(N) MAGNETS WITH ANISOTROPY
In this thesis I will outline various quantum phase transitions in 2D models of magnets that are amenable to simulation with quantum Monte Carlo techniques. The key player in this work is the theory of deconfined criticality, which generically allows for zero temperature quantum phase transitions be...
