We prove that the predicted charge transfer state in symmetric bilayers of two dimensional electron gases is always unstable at zero bias voltage, due to interlayer correlation and/or tunneling. This is most easily seen by resorting to a…
The two-flavor color superconductivity is studied over a wide range of baryon density with a single model. We pay a special attention to the spatial-momentum dependence of the gap and to the spatial-structure of Cooper pairs. At extremely…
Over twenty years ago one of us suggested the title was affirmative. In 2012 Cooper pairs were identified in several, but not all aromatic compounds tested, benzene being one. This manuscript discusses the formation of three time-reversed…
We investigate the relationship of the spontaneously inter-layer coherent ``111''state of quantum Hall bilayers at total filling factor \nu=1 to ``mutual'' composite fermions, in which vortices in one layer are bound to electrons in the…
We develop an effective field theory to describe the superfluid pairing in strongly interacting fermions with arbitrary short-range attractions, by extending Kaplan's idea of coupling fermions to a fictitious boson state in Nucl. Phys. B…
We show how to couple two free-fermion chains so that the excitations consist of Cooper pairs with zero energy, and free particles obeying (mutual) exclusion statistics. This behavior is reminiscent of anyonic superconductivity, and of a…
Many-body interactions can produce novel ground states in a condensed-matter system. For example, interacting electrons and holes can spontaneously form excitons, a neutral bound state, provided that the exciton binding energy exceeds the…
The concept of stimulated emission of bosons has played an important role in modern science and technology, and constitutes the working principle for lasers. In a stimulated emission process, an incoming photon enhances the probability that…
Simon et al suggest that composite fermions (CF) must be replaced by composite bosons (CB) and "111" state is a boson state. However, we find that such a transition in real GaAs is not possible and CF state cannot become a boson. Simon et…
In this letter, we study the ground state of two spherical macroions of identical radius, but asymmetric bare charge ((Q_{A}>Q_{B})). Electroneutrality of the system is insured by the presence of the surrounding divalent counterions. Using…
The two-flavor color superconductivity is examined over a wide range of baryon density with a single model. To study the structural change of Cooper pairs, quark correlation in the color superconductor is calculated both in the momentum…
Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we study a mixture of bosons and fermions loaded on an optical lattice. With simple on-site repulsive interactions, this system can be driven into a solid phase. We dope this phase and, in analogy with…
In part I of this paper a modified BCS mechanism of Cooper pair formation of electrons was proposed. This mechanism is connected with the existence of a narrow, roughly half-filled "superconducting energy band" of given symmetry. The…
We act on the suggestion that an excitonic insulator state might separate---at very low temperatures---a semimetal from a semiconductor and ask for the nature of these transitions. Based on the analysis of electron-hole pairing in the…
Within the fermion-spin theory, the physical properties of the electron pairing state in the copper oxide materials are discussed. According to the common form of the electron Cooper pair, it is shown that there is a coexistence of the…
We consider a model of hard-core bosons on a lattice, half-filling a Chern band such that the system has a continuous transition between a fractional Chern insulator (FCI) and a superfluid state (SF) depending on the bandwidth to…
Boosting superconductivity by metallic reservoirs is the essence of Kivelson's bilayer proposal. One layer provides pairing to the electrons, while the weakly coupled metal provides additional phase coherence to those pairs by mediating…
The ground and first excited state of two superconducting layers in interaction are studied considering two different coupling terms, one represented by the standard Josephson interaction, and one new, which is a superexchange pairing force…
We study a readout scheme of superconducting flux qubit state with a Cooper pair box as a transmon. The qubit states consist of the superpositions of two degenerate states where the charge and phase degrees of freedom are entangled. Owing…
We have experimentally demonstrated the absence of spectroscopic resonance shifts in a mixture of two interacting Fermi gases. This result is linked to observations in an ultracold gas of thermal bosons. There, the measured resonance shift…
