Recent experiments by Potok et al. have demonstrated a remarkable tunability between a single-channel Fermi liquid fixed point and a two-channel non-Fermi liquid fixed point. Motivated by this we study the nonequilibrium dynamics due to a…
I show that the quantum critical points observed in heavy fermions (the `Kondo breakdown') and in doped cuprates can be understood in terms of concealed Mott criticality. In this picture, one species of electrons undergoes a Mott…
