Unlocking the mystery of the strange metal state has become the focal point of high T$_{c}$ research, not because of its importance for superconductivity, but because it appears to represent a truly novel phase of matter dubbed `quantum…
The strange metal behavior in cuprate superconductors - characterized by linear in temperature resistivity and anomalous Hall transport - stands in stark contrast to the expectation of conventional Fermi liquid (FL) theory. Remarkably, the…
Discoveries of ordered quantum states of matter are of great fundamental interest, and often lead to unique applications. The most well known example -- superconductivity -- is caused by the formation and condensation of pairs of electrons.…

Non-Fermi liquid physics is a ubiquitous feature in strongly correlated metals, manifesting itself in anomalous transport properties, such as a $T$-linear resistivity in experiments. However, its theoretical understanding in terms of…
While a specific kind of strange metal is increasingly found to be the "normal" states in a wide variety of unconventional superconductors, its microscopic origin is presently a hotly debated enigma. Using dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT)…
We present the microscopic Fermi liquid theory for magnetic properties and transport phenomena in interacting electron systems without inversion symmetry both in the normal state and in the superconducting state. Our argument is mainly…
Insulators occur in more than one guise, a recent finding was a class of topological insulators, which host a conducting surface juxtaposed with an insulating bulk. Here we report the observation of an unusual insulating state with an…
High temperature superconductivity emerges in the cuprate compounds upon changing the electron density of an insulator in which the electron spins are antiferromagnetically ordered. A key characteristic of the superconductor is that…
The Fermi arcs are signatures of exotic states in solids because they defy conventional concept of Fermi surfaces as closed contours in momentum space. Fermi arcs were first discovered in cuprates, and caused by the pseudogap. Weyl…
We present a new Kondo-lattice system, YbNi4P2, which is a clean heavy-fermion metal with a severely reduced ferromagnetic ordering temperature at T_C=0.17K, evidenced by distinct anomalies in susceptibility, specific-heat, and resistivity…
Strong electron correlations can give rise to extraordinary properties of metals with renormalized quasiparticles which are at the basis of Landau's Fermi liquid theory. Near a quantum critical point, these quasiparticles can be destroyed…
To clarify the origin of the pseudogap and strange metal states as well as their mutual relationship in cuprate superconductors, a comprehensive study on the spectral function, Fermi surface, resistivity and dynamical spin susceptivity of…
Symmetry breaking beyond a global U(1) phase is the key signature of unconventional superconductors. As prototypical strongly correlated materials, heavy-fermion metals provide ideal platforms for realizing unconventional superconductivity.…

We consider some general aspects of dependence of magneto-conductivity on a magnetic field in metals having complicated Fermi surfaces. As it is well known, a nontrivial behavior of conductivity in metals in strong magnetic fields is…
This note addresses the effects of long-ranged and/or retarded interactions on the bosonic collective modes in the so-called 'strange metals'. Recently, there have been conflicting reports on the very existence of such stable collective…
We propose that the non-equilibrium current measured in the $a-b$ plane of an underdoped cuprate (in either the strange metal or pseudogap regime) in contact with either an overdoped cuprate or a standard Fermi liquid can be used diagnose…
An intense investigation of possible non-Fermi liquid states of matter has been inspired by two of the most intriguing phenomena discovered in the past quarter century, namely high temperature superconductivity and the fractional quantum…
High-temperature superconductivity occurs as copper oxides are chemically tuned to have a carrier concentration intermediate between their metallic state at high doping and their insulating state at zero doping. The underlying evolution of…
