One of the leading challenges of condensed matter physics in the past few decades in an understanding of the high-temperature copper-oxide superconductors. While the d-wave character of the superconducting state is well understood, the…
We argue that quantum fluctuations of the phase of the order parameter may strongly affect the electron density of states (DOS) in ultrathin superconducting wires. We demonstrate that the effect of such fluctuations is equivalent to that of…
The dynamics of magnetic vortices in the mixed state of d-wave superconductors is affected by interaction with quasiparticles near the gap nodes. We study this effect by computing the overlap of the ground state wave functions of the nodal…
The electronic states near a surface or a domain wall in the p-wave superconductor are studied for the order parameter of the form p_x\pm i p_y-wave, which is a unitary odd-parity state with broken time-reversal symmetry. This state has…
Despite an apparent progress in implementing individual solid-state qubits, there have been no experimental reports so far on multi-bit gates required for building a real quantum computer. Here we report a new circuit comprising two coupled…
We study the interlayer pairing states in layered systems of two different 2d electronic subsystems, one with relativistic linear and the other with non-relativistic parabolic spectrum. The complex order parameter of the paired state has a…
An interaction between electrons and lattice vibrations (phonons) results in two fundamental quantum phenomena in solids: in three dimensions it can turn a metal into a superconductor whereas in one dimension it can turn a metal into an…
A density wave in quark matter is discussed at finite temperature, which occurs along with the chiral condensation, and is described by a dual standing wave in scalar and pseudo-scalar condensates on the chiral circle. The mechanism is…
A model in which a gap forms in the renormalized electronic density of state (DOS) with missing states recovered just above the pseudogap $\Delta_{pg}$, is able to give a robust description of the striking, triangular like, peak seen in the…
Recent experiments indicate that the excitation spectrum of the cuprates is characterised, in the superconducting state, by two energy scales: the ``coherence energy'' \Delta_c and the ``pseudogap'' \Delta_p. Here we consider a simple…
The Fermi surface in underdoped cuprates is reconstructed by the charge density wave (CDW) order in the pseudogap phase. Theoretical proposals can be divided into two classes: one assumes the underlying Fermi surface without CDW as a…
The pseudogap regime of the underdoped cuprates arguably remains one of the most enigmatic phenomena of correlated quantum matter. Recent theoretical ideas suggest that a pair density wave (PDW) or a "fractionalized PDW" could be a key…
The unambiguous detection and quantification of entanglement is a hot topic of scientific research, though it is limited to low dimensions or specific classes of states. Here we identify an additional class of quantum states, for which…
I present a simple analytical model describing the normal state of a superconductor with a pseudogap in the density of states, such as in underdoped cuprates. In nearly two-dimensional systems, where the superconducting transition…
Motivated by scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = Cs, Rb, K) that revealed periodic real-space modulation of electronic states at low energies, I show using model calculations that a triple-{\bf Q} chiral pair…

A toy model is developed to capture "dance of pre-formed pairs" in the pseudogap state of high temperature cuprate superconductors. The model is a crude description of a hypothetical situation in which spin-driven spatial organization of…
Pseudogap formation is an ubiquitous phenomena in strongly-correlated superconductors, for example cuprates, heavy-fermion superconductors, and iron pnictides. As the system is cooled, an energy gap opens in the excitation spectrum before…
We investigated the bubble collisions during the first order phase transitions. Numerical results indicate that within the certain range of parameters the collision of two bubbles leads to formation of separate relatively long-lived…
The Onsager rule determines the frequencies of quantum oscillations in magnetic fields. We show that this rule remains intact to an excellent approximation in the mixed-vortex state of the underdoped cuprates even though the Landau level…
