Photo-doping of Mott insulators or correlated metals can create an unusual metallic state which simultaneously hosts hole-like and electron-like particles. We study the dynamics of this state up to long times, as it passes its kinetic…

The energy of an Andreev bound state in a clean normal metal in contact with two superconductors disperses with the difference $\Delta \phi$ in the superconducting phase between the superconductors in much the same way as the energies of…
Strange metal behavior is traditionally associated with an underlying putative quantum critical point at zero temperature. However, in many correlated metals, e.g., high-Tc cuprate superconductors, strange metallicity persists at low…
