We study a class of interacting, harmonically trapped boson systems at angular momentum L. The Hamiltonian leaves a L-dimensional subspace invariant, and this permits an explicit solution of several eigenstates and energies for a wide class…

Permutation symmetries of multipartite quantum states are defined only when the constituent subsystems are of equal dimensions. In this work we extend this notion of permutation symmetry to heterogeneous systems, that is, systems composed…
Tangles of string typically become knotted, from macroscopic twine down to long-chain macromolecules such as DNA. Here we demonstrate that knotting also occurs in quantum wavefunctions, where the tangled filaments are vortices (nodal…

Many two-dimensional physical systems have symmetries which are mathematically described by quantum groups (quasi-triangular Hopf algebras). In this letter we introduce the concept of a spontaneously broken Hopf symmetry and show that it…
The phenomenon of universality is one of the most striking in many-body physics. Despite having sometimes wildly different microscopic constituents, systems can nonetheless behave in precisely the same way, with only the variable names…
