Thanks to the development in quantum Monte Carlo technique, the compact U(1) lattice gauge theory coupled to fermionic matter at (2 + 1)D is now accessible with large-scale numerical simulations, and the ground state phase diagram as a function of fermion flavor (N-f) and the strength of gauge fluctuations is mapped out. Here we focus on the large fermion flavor case (N-f = 8) to investigate the dynamic properties across the deconfinement-to-confinement phase transition. In the deconfined phase, fermions coupled to the fluctuating gauge field to form U(1) spin liquid with continua in both spin and dimer spectral functions, and in the confined phase fermions are gapped out into valence bond solid phase with translational symmetry breaking and gapped spectra. The dynamical behaviors provide supporting evidence for the existence of the U(1) deconfined phase and could shine light on the nature of the U(1)-to-VBS phase transition which is of the QED(3)-Gross-Neveu chiral O(2) universality whose properties are still largely unknown.
