Dynamical mean-field theory of quantum stripe glasses
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We present a many body approach for nonequilibrium behavior and self-generated glassiness in strongly correlated quantum systems. It combines the dynamical mean-field theory of equilibrium systems with the replica theory for classical glasses without quenched disorder. We apply this approach to study a quantized version of the Brazovskii model and find a self-generated quantum glass that remains in a quantum mechanically mixed state as $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{T}0.$ This quantum glass is formed by a large number of competing states spread over an energy region which is determined within our theory.
