I examine a model for the Hall effect in the strongly correlated regime. It emerges from an approach proposed in my previous articles [e.g. J. Phys. Chem. Solids, 65 (2004), 1507-1515; J. Geom. Phys., in press, cf. math-ph/0409023]. The…
Interaction driven symmetry breaking in a metallic (doped) Dirac system can manifest in the spontaneous gap generation at the nodal point buried below the Fermi level. Across this transition linear conductivity remains finite making its…

We study the Hall conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas under an inhomogeneous magnetic field $B(x)$. First, we prove using the quantum kinetic theory that an odd magnetic field can lead to a purely nonlinear Hall response. Second,…
We experimentally show that the response of a quantum-chaotic system can display resonance lines sharper than the inverse of the excitation duration. This allows us to discriminate two neighboring frequencies with a resolution nearly 40…
Quantum anomalous Hall effect has been widely explored in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems. Here, we propose an interaction-driven paramagnetic quantum anomalous Hall effect emerging in the Fermion-Hubbard model on a dice…
When a quantum nonlinear system is linearly coupled to an infinite bath of harmonic oscillators, quantum coherence of the system is lost on a decoherence time-scale $\tau_D$. Nevertheless, quantum effects for observables may still survive…

Systems with long-range interactions display a short-time relaxation towards Quasi Stationary States (QSSs) whose lifetime increases with system size. The application of Lynden-Bell's theory of "violent relaxation" to the Hamiltonian Mean…

The quantum spin Hall (QSH) state is a topologically non-trivial state of quantum matter which preserves time-reversal symmetry; it has an energy gap in the bulk, but topologically robust gapless states at the edge. Recently, this novel…
We analyse under which dynamical conditions the coherence of an open quantum system is totally unaffected by noise. For a single qubit, specific measures of coherence are found to freeze under different conditions, with no general agreement…
