The low-energy bands of twisted bilayer graphene form Dirac cones with approximate electron-hole symmetry at small rotation angles. These crossings are protected by the emergent symmetries of moir\'e patterns, conferring a topological…
We argue that at finite carrier density and large displacement fields, bilayer graphene is prone to $\ell =0$ and $\ell = 1$ Pomeranchuk Fermi surface instabilities. The broken symmetries are driven by non-local exchange interactions which…
We investigate a mechanism to produce superconductivity by strong purely repulsive interactions for flat dispersion $\varepsilon \sim k^4$, without using pairing instability in Fermi-liquid. The resulting superconductors break both…

Driven quantum materials often feature emergent topology, otherwise absent in static crystals. Dynamic bulk-boundary correspondence, encoded by nondissipative gapless modes residing near the Floquet zone center and/or boundaries, is its…
We show that topological metals lacking time-reversal symmetry have an intrinsic non-quantized component of the anomalous Hall conductivity which is contributed not only by the Berry phase of quasiparticles on the Fermi surface, but also by…
Topological phases of matter are defined by their nontrivial patterns of ground-state quantum entanglement, which is irremovable so long as the excitation gap and the protecting symmetries, if any, are maintained. Recent studies on…
We study a chain of ferromagnetic nano-particles or ferromagnetic molecule/atoms on a substrate of fully gapped superconductors. We find that under quite realistic conditions, the fermion-number-parity symmetry $Z_2^f$ can spontaneously…

Motivated by Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, edge quasiparticle states are analyzed based on the self-consistent solution of the Bogolyubov-de Gennes equations for a topological chiral $p$-wave superconductor. Using a tight-binding model of a square lattice…
We consider phases of matter at finite charge density which spontaneously break spatial translations. Without taking a hydrodynamic limit we identify a boost invariant incoherent current operator. We also derive expressions for the small…
The spin-orbit coupling field, an atomic magnetic field inside a Kramer's system, or discrete symmetries can create a topological torus in the Brillouin Zone and provide protected edge or surface states, which can contain relativistic…
We theoretically study the transverse charge transport in Josephson junctions based on the tilted Dirac materials with valley-dependent gaps. It is shown that a finite tilt-assisted transverse Josephson Hall current is present under broken…
We show that sharply defined topological quantum phase transitions are not limited to states of matter with gapped electronic spectra. Such transitions may also occur between two gapless metallic states both with extended Fermi surfaces.…
A Weyl semimetal hosts low-energy chiral surface states, which appear to connect a pair of Weyl nodes in reciprocal space. As these chiral surface states propagate in a given direction, a spontaneous circulating current is expected to…
