We explore spatial symmetry breaking of a dipolar Bose Einstein condensate in the thermodynamic limit and reveal a critical point in the phase diagram at which crystallization occurs via a second order phase transition. This behavior is…
I argue that the system of interacting bosons at zero temperature and in random external potential possesses a simple critical point which describes the proliferation of disorder-induced topological defects in the superfluid ground state,…

Particle-hole symmetry of the Bogoliubov-de~Gennes Hamiltonian is widely assumed to enforce bias-symmetric transport at superconducting interfaces. We show that this expectation fails generically for interfaces with finite spatial extent…
We study the formation of particle-imbalanced quantum droplets in a one-dimensional optical lattice containing a binary bosonic mixture at zero temperature. To understand the effects of the imbalance from both the few- and many-body…

The existence of a paradoxical supersolid phase of matter, possessing the apparently incompatible properties of crystalline order and superfluidity, was predicted 50 years ago. Solid helium was the natural candidate, but there supersolidity…
A quantum-field approach to studying the Bose systems at finite temperatures and in states with spontaneously broken symmetry, in particular in a superfluid state, is proposed. A generalized model of a self-consistent field (SCF) for…
We introduce a new renormalization group theory to examine the quantum phase transitions upon exiting the insulating phase of a disordered, strongly interacting boson system. For weak disorder we find a direct transition from this Mott…
We perform a numerical study of the critical regime at the threshold of black hole formation in the spherically symmetric, general relativistic collapse of collisionless matter. The coupled Einstein-Vlasov equations are solved using a…
We study the quantum phase transition between a normal Bose superfluid to one that breaks additional Z_2 Ising symmetry. Using the recent shaken optical lattice experiment as an example, we first show that at mean-field level atomic…
Shen et al. [1] recently reported on ARPES data from Pb-Bi2201 revealing both particle-hole symmetry breaking and pronounced spectral broadening, which they interpret to be indicative of spatial symmetry breaking without long-range order at…
A spin-wave approach of the zero temperature superfluid-insulator transition for two-dimensional hard-core bosons in a random potential $\mu=\pm$ W is developed. While at the classical level there is no intervening phase between the…
We prove that the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model with purely imaginary next-nearest-neighbor hoppings has a particle-hole symmetry at half-filling. Such a symmetry has interesting consequences including the absence of charge and spin currents…
The superfluid fraction of an atomic cloud can be defined using the cloud's response to a rotation of the external potential, i.e. the moment of inertia. In this paper we derive analytical results for the moment of inertia of a small number…
Using a strong disorder real-space renormalization group (RG), we study the phase diagram of a fully disordered chain of interacting bosons. Since this approach does not suffer from run-away flows, it allows a direct study of the insulating…
