I unveil a novel variant of Anderson localization. This emergent phenomenon pertains to the motion of a dopant in a thermal spin lattice, rendered localized by thermal fluctuations. This is in stark contrast to the intrinsic origin of…
We investigate the electron momentum distribution function (EMD) in a weakly doped two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnet (AFM) as described by the t-J model. Our analytical results for a single hole in an AFM based on the self-consistent…
By explicitly tracking the Marshall sign, a phase string induced by hopping is revealed in the one-hole-doped $t-J$ model. It is rigorously shown that such a phase string cannot be eliminated through low-lying spin excitations, and it…
The extended $t-J$ model is theoretically studied, in the context of hole underdoped cuprates. Based on results obtained by recent numerical studies, we identify the mean field state having both the antiferromagnetic and staggered flux…
In contrast to hole-doped systems which have hole pockets centered at $(\pm \frac{\pi}{2a},\pm \frac{\pi}{2a})$, in lightly electron-doped antiferromagnets the charged quasiparticles reside in momentum space pockets centered at…
We investigate the anomalous metal arising by hole doping the Mott insulating state of the periodic Anderson model. Using Dynamical Mean-Field Theory we show that, as opposed to the electron-doped case, in the hole-doped regime the…
Disorder plays a crucial role in many systems particularly in solid state physics. However, the disorder in a particular system can usually not be chosen or controlled. We show that the unique control available for ultracold atomic gases…
Quasiparticle properties are explored in an effective theory of the $t-J$ model which includes two important components: spin-charge separation and unrenormalizable phase shift. We show that the phase shift effect indeed causes the system…
It is widely recognised that the effect of doping into a Mott insulator is complicated and unpredictable, as can be seen by examining the Hall coefficient in high $T_{\rm c}$ cuprates. The doping effect, including the electron-hole doping…
The microscopic mechanism by which doped holes disrupt the antiferromagnetic order is one of the fundamental questions in cuprates. In this work, we propose a unified microscopic theory in which doped holes form spatially localized…
Photo-doping of Mott insulators or correlated metals can create an unusual metallic state which simultaneously hosts hole-like and electron-like particles. We study the dynamics of this state up to long times, as it passes its kinetic…
The magnetic phase diagrams, and other physical characteristics, of the hole- doped {\em La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$} and electron-doped {\em Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$ CuO$_4$} high-temperature superconductors are profoundly different. Starting with the…
Localization phenomenon is an important research field in condensed matter physics. However, due to the complexity and subtlety of disordered syestems, new localization phenomena always emerge unexpectedly. For example, it is generally…
We investigate the hole-doped Kitaev-Heisenberg ($t$-$J$-$K$) model on a two-leg ladder geometry using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We first consider the behavior of the antiferromagnetic Kitaev (AFK) spin-liquid phase…
We study localization in a quasiperiodic spinful antiferromagnetic Hubbard ring within a self-consistent Hartree-Fock framework, emphasizing the interplay of quasiperiodicity, staggered Zeeman-field-induced antiferromagnetic order, and…
Quantum states cohere and interfere. Quantum systems composed of many atoms arranged imperfectly rarely display these properties. Here we demonstrate an exception in a disordered quantum magnet that divides itself into nearly isolated…
Single-electron capacitance spectroscopy precisely measures the energies required to add individual electrons to a quantum dot. The spatial extent of electronic wavefunctions is probed by investigating the dependence of these energies on…
Within the t-t'-J model, the asymmetry of the electron spectrum and quasiparticle dispersion in hole-doped and electron-doped cuprates is discussed. It is shown that the quasiparticle dispersions of both hole-doped and electron-doped…
Based on three general guiding principles, i.e., no double occupancy constraint, accurate description of antiferromagnetism at half-filling, and the precise sign structure of the $t$-$J$ model, a new ground state wave function has been…
In this work, we revisit the electron-hole asymmetry of antiferromagnetism in cuprates by studying the three-band Emery model. Using parameters relevant to La$_2$CuO$_4$, we benchmark the anti-ferromagnetic response for a large range of…
