Description
The deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) exemplifies a phase transition beyond the Landau paradigm, yet its true nature remains debated. We investigate a candidate for the $SU(2)$ QCD$_3$ theory with $N$ fermions and a $Sp(N)/\mathbb{Z}_2$ global symmetry, which is a possible effective description of the DQCP—using the recently proposed fuzzy sphere regularization. This method offers a powerful lens to probe the model’s critical behavior. Employing quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the generalized Sp(N)-symmetric model, we probe the conformal window of the gauge theories, with the fuzzy sphere formalism significantly reducing finite-size-effects.
