Excitonic insulators (EI) arise from the formation of bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) in semiconductors and provide a solid-state platform for quantum many-boson physics. Strong exciton-exciton repulsion is expected to stabilize…

Quantum spin Hall (QSH) materials are two-dimensional systems exhibiting insulating bulk and helical edge states simultaneously. A QSH insulator processes topologically non-trivial edge states protected by time-reversal symmetry, so that…
We show theoretically that an undoped carbon nanotube might be an excitonic insulator---the long-sought phase of matter proposed by Keldysh, Kohn and others fifty years ago. We predict that the condensation of triplet excitons, driven by…

Excitons, the bosonic quasiparticle emerging from Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes, will undergo a Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) and transition into a superfluid state with global phase coherence at low temperatures. An…
A state of an excitonic insulator with the electric current is studied. Initially, in the metallic phase, the electrons and holes are assumed to be moving in the opposite directions, so as the electric current exists. This state is…

We use the LDA+U approach to search for possible ordered ground states of LaSrCoO$_4$. We find a staggered arrangement of magnetic multipoles to be stable over a broad range of Co $3d$ interaction parameters. This ordered state can be…
We study a spin 1 Bose condensate small enough to be treated as a single magnetic `domain': a system that we term a microcondensate. Because all particles occupy a single spatial mode, this quantum many body system has a well defined…
More than 50 years ago the electron-hole attraction was proposed to drive narrow gap semiconductors or semimetals to a new phase, the excitonic insulator. The experimental proof of its existence in bulk materials remains elusive. In…
In this paper, first, we present a general formulation to investigate the ground-state and elementary excitations of an excitonic insulator (EI) in real materials. In addition, we discuss the out-of-equilibrium state induced (albeit…
We study trapped 2D atomic Bose-Einstein condensates with spin-independent interactions in the presence of an isotropic spin-orbit coupling, showing that a rich physics results from the non-trivial interplay between spin-orbit coupling,…
The heavy quasiparticle bands in Kondo materials which originate in the hybridization of f- and conduction electrons exhibit numerous, sometimes coexisting, broken symmetry phases. Most notable are unconventional superconductivity,…
In this paper we explore possible phases arising from doping neutral excitons into a Mott insulator in the context of moir\'e bilayers. We consider two moir\'e layers coupled together only through inter-layer repulsion and there is a…
