We employed a scanning tunneling microscope to image the (001) surface topography and local density of states (LDOS) in La$_{2-2x}$Sr$_{1+2x}$Mn$_2$O$_7$ (x=0.32, LSMO) single crystals below the Curie temperature (T$_C$ = 120 K). The LDOS…
The quark-meson model is often used as an effective low-energy model for QCD to study the chiral transition at finite temperature $T$, baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$, and isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$. The parameters of the model…

On the Sb-layer of the Kagome superconductor CsV$_3$Sb$_5$, pair density wave states have been observed. When the high-temperature charge orderings are treated as static backgrounds, these PDW states exhibit the same wavevector in the…
We study the effect of a large magnetic field on the chiral and diquark condensates in a regime of moderately dense quark matter. Our focus is on the inter-dependence of the two condensates through non-perturbative quark mass and strong…

Kagome metals show rich competing quantum phases due to geometry frustration, flat bands, many-body effects, and non-trivial topology. Recently, a novel charge density wave (CDW) was discovered deep inside the antiferromagnetic phase of…
We calculate the symmetry energy in cold dense matter both in the normal quark phase and in the 2-color superconductor (2SC) phase. For the normal phase, the thermodynamic potential is calculated by using hard dense loop (HDL) resummation…
We compute the Coulomb interaction energy of dense sets of static quarks in a compact volume (much smaller than the lattice volume) containing one quark per lattice site. The quark color charges are combined into either a set of three-quark…

Recent works have suggested that transient suppression of a charge density wave (CDW) by an ultra-short excitation can lead to an inversion of the CDW phase. We experimentally investigate the dynamics of the CDW in K$_{0.3}$MoO$_{3}$ by…
