The nature of hadrons is one of the most fundamental mysteries of physics. It is generally agreed that they are made of "colored" quarks, which move nearly free at short scales but are confined inside hadrons by strong interactions at large…
Superinsulators offer a unique laboratory realizing strong interaction phenomena like confinement and asymptotic freedom in quantum materials. Recent experiments evidenced that superinsulators are the mirror-twins of superconductors with…
Superinsulators are dual superconductors, dissipationless magnetic monopole condensates with infinite resistance. The long-distance field theory of such states of matter is QED with dynamical matter coupled via a compact BF topological…
The mechanism of color confinement has been studied in the framework of SU (3) color gauge theory in terms of abelian fields and monopoles extracted by adopting magnetic symmetry. The existence of the mechanism of color confinement…
Quark confinement is proposed to be a dual Meissner effect of nonAbelian kind. Important hints come from physics of strongly-coupled infrared-fixed-point theories in N=2 supersymmetric QCD, which turn into confining vacua under a small…
The evidence for dual superconductivity as a mechanism for color confinement is reviewed. New developments are presented for full QCD, i.e. in the presence of dynamical quarks.
Confinement of topological excitations into particle-like states - typically associated with theories of elementary particles - are known to occur in condensed matter systems, arising as domain-wall confinement in quantum spin chains.…
We study quark confinement in a system of two parallel domain walls interpolating different color dielectric media. We use the phenomenological approach in which the confinement of quarks appears considering the QCD vacuum as a color…
We study the deconfinement transition of hadronic matter into quark matter in neutron star conditions in the light of color superconductivity. Deconfinement is considered to be a first order phase transition that conserves color and flavor.…
Color confinement is a consequence of an unbroken non-Abelian gauge symmetry and the resulting asymptotic freedom inherent in quantum chromodynamics. A qualitative sketch of its proof is presented.
The quark-antiquark potential and the chromoelectric fields generated by ``quarks'' in the adjoint representation of SU(2) color are analyzed in the scaling region of the theory. New results with interesting implications for our…
We study finite density QCD in an approximation in which the interaction between quarks is modelled on that induced by instantons. We sketch the mechanism by which chiral symmetry restoration at finite density occurs in this model. At all…
QCD is the fundamental theory to describe the strong interaction, where quarks and gluons have the color degrees of freedom. However, a single quark or gluon can not be separated out and all observable particles are color singlet states.…
The strong interaction is the fundamental force that holds quarks and the gluon force carriers together to form protons and neutrons and also binds the atomic nucleus. The theory governing quark-gluon interactions is Quantum Chromodynamics…
The analogy between the Cooper pair in high temperature superconductor and the quark-antiquark pair in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is proposed. In QCD the nonlinear chromodynamical field between a quark and an antiquark is confined to a…
Confinement is a ubiquitous mechanism in nature, whereby particles feel an attractive force that increases without bound as they separate. A prominent example is color confinement in particle physics, in which baryons and mesons are…
The idea of confinement states that in certain systems constituent particles can be discerned only indirectly being bound by an interaction whose strength increases with increasing particle separation. Though the most famous example is the…
The mechanism of color confinement as a consequence of an unbroken non-abelian gauge symmetry and asymptotic freedom is elucidated and compared with that of other models based on an analogy with the type II superconductor. It is…
A chromoelectric vacuum that confines both gluon and quark degrees of freedom (in the sense that they do not exist as asymptotic states) is constructed. However some degrees of freedom still exist as asymptotic states thereby allowing…
We analyze the effect of color superconductivity in the transition from hot hadron matter to quark matter in the presence of a gas of trapped electron neutrinos. To describe strongly interacting matter we adopt a two-phase picture in which…
