Mass-Assisted Local Deconfinement in a Confined $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Lattice
Gauge Theory
Confinement is a prominent phenomenon in condensed matter and high-energy physics that has recently become the focus of quantum-simulation experiments of lattice gauge theories (LGTs). As such, a theoretical understanding of the effect of confinement on LGT dynamics is not only of fundamental importance, but can lend itself to upcoming …
