We consider a one-dimensional, time-reversal-invariant system with attractive interactions and spin-orbit coupling. Such a system is gapless due to the strong quantum fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. However, we show…
The quantum spin Hall state is a topologically non-trivial insulator state protected by the time reversal symmetry. We show that such a state always leads to spin-charge separation in the presence of a $\pi$ flux. Our result is generally…
By exploiting the internal gauge-invariance intrinsic to a spin-charge separated electron, we show that such degrees of freedom must be confined in two-dimensional superconductors experiencing strong inter-electron repulsion. We also…
We study the transport properties of a one-dimensional spinful Fermi gas, after junction of two semi-infinite sub-systems held at different temperatures. The ensuing dynamics is studied by analysing the space-time profiles of local…
We investigate the single-photon propagation in the one-dimensional waveguide coupled to $N$ two-level atoms. For a waveguide coupled to $N$ distant atoms, the transparency can be induced by coherent interaction at resonance for an $even$…
As the dimensionality is reduced, the world becomes more and more interesting; novel and fascinating phenomena show up which call for understanding. Physics in one dimension is a fascinating topic for theory and experiment: for the former…
We study the charge conductivity in one-dimensional prototype models of interacting particles, such as the Hubbard and the t-V spinless fermion model, when coupled to some external baths injecting and extracting particles at the boundaries.…
We consider a one-dimensional trapped gas of strongly interacting few spin-1 atoms which can be described by an effective spin chain Hamiltonian. Away from the SU(3) integrable point, where the energy spectrum is highly degenerate, the…
It is well known that the charge current in a conductor is proportional to the applied electric field. This famous relation, known as Ohm's law, is the result of relaxation of the current due to charge carriers undergoing collisions,…
In this paper, by using two dimensional (2D) Hubbard models with pi-flux phase and that on a hexagonal lattice as examples, we explore spin-charge-separated solitons in nodal antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator - an AF order with massive Dirac…
Since spin and charge are both carried by electrons (or holes) in a solid, it is natural to assume that charge and spin diffusion coefficients will be the same. Drift-diffusion models of spin transport typically assume so. Here, we show…
For a fermion gas with equally spaced energy levels, the density and the pair correlation function are obtained. The derivation is based on the path integral approach for identical particles and the inversion of the generating functions for…
We use Monte Carlo methods to study spinons in two-dimensional quantum spin systems, characterizing their intrinsic size $\lambda$ and confinement length $\Lambda$. We confirm that spinons are deconfined, $\Lambda \to \infty$ and $\lambda$…
We describe two interesting effects in wormhole physics. First, we find that a genuinely charged matter source may appear neutral to an external observer - a phenomenon opposite to the famous Misner-Wheeler "charge without charge" effect.…
The energy spectrum and corresponding wave functions of two bosonic particles confined in a spherically symmetric shell trap and interacting via a three-dimensional zero-range potential are computed. Confinement-induced resonances,…
We have observed phase separation between the superfluid and the normal component in a strongly interacting Fermi gas with imbalanced spin populations. The in situ distribution of the density difference between two trapped spin components…
The structure of the electromagnetic vertex of spin-1 particles are studied in a general way, for the diagonal as well as the off-diagonal couplings. In each case, we consider in detail the consequences of gauge invariance and the…
Strong electron correlations lie at the origin of transformative phenomena such as colossal magneto-resistance and high-temperature superconductivity. Already near room temperature, doped copper oxide materials display remarkable features…
We consider a one-dimensional chain consisting of an interacting area coupled to non-interacting leads. Within the area, interaction is mediated by a local on-site repulsion. Using real time evolution within the Density Matrix…
Anyons are low-dimensional quasiparticles that obey fractional statistics, hence interpolating between bosons and fermions. In two dimensions, they exist as elementary excitations of fractional quantum Hall states and they are believed to…
