We calculate scattering interference patterns for various electronic states proposed for the pseudogap regime of the cuprate superconductors. The scattering interference models all produce patterns whose wavelength changes as a function of…
We study the conditions for the existence of unpaired Majorana modes at the ends of vortex lines or the side edges of a layered topological superconductor. We show that the problem is mapped to that of a general Majorana chain and extend…
A popular approximation in lattice gauge theory is an extrapolation in the number of fermion species away from the four fold degeneracy natural with the staggered fermions formulation. I show that at finite lattice spacing and for an odd…
Fermionic condensation typically occurs via pairing. In recent decades, however, a fundamental question has emerged: whether alternative forms of order exist, such as condensates of fermion quadruplets. These states--including ``charge-4e"…
We evaluate the frequencies of scissors modes for density and concentration fluctuations in a vapour of fermionic atoms placed in two hyperfine levels inside a spherical harmonic trap. Both the superfluid and the normal state are…
We perform a systematic study of the $\alpha$-particle excitation from its ground state $0_1^+$ to the $0_2^+$ resonance. The so-called monopole transition form factor is investigated via an electron scattering experiment in a broad…
We analyze the scattering rate for 2D fermions interacting via soft nematic fluctuations. The ground state is an s-wave superconductor, but other pairing channels are almost equally attractive. This strongly alters the scattering rate: At…
We are motivated by tripartite entanglement for fermions. While GHZ or W states involve 3-fold intrication, we consider here piecewise intrication of 3 fermions in ${\bf C}^2$, namely of type $ab+bc+ca$. Before interaction with…
The flavor puzzles remain among the most compelling open questions in particle physics. The striking hierarchies observed in the masses and mixing of charged fermions define the Standard Model (SM) flavor puzzle, a profound structural…
The scattering of a charged fermion from an electroweak or semi-local string is investigated and a full solution obtained for both massive and massless cases. For the former, with fractional string flux, there is a helicity conserving and…
The structure of the order parameter and the excitation spectrum are investigated for isolated impurities in d-wave superconductors. Atomic scale impurities, or defects, scatter quasiparticles and lead to local suppression (pair-breaking)…
We study the excitation spectrum of light and strange mesons in diffractive scattering. We identify different hadron resonances through partial wave analysis, which inherently relies on analysis models. Besides statistical uncertainties,…

We examine the stability of a trapped dipolar condensate mixed with a single-component fermion gas at T=0. Whereas pure dipolar condensates with small s-wave interaction are unstable even for small dipole-dipole interaction strength, we…
Past theoretical studies have considered excitations of a given flavor of composite fermions across composite-fermion quasi-Landau levels. We show that in general there exists a ladder of flavor changing excitations in which composite…
Within an effective Dirac-Weyl theory we solve the scattering problem for massless chiral fermions impinging on a cylindrical time-dependent potential barrier. The set-up we consider can be used to model the electron propagation in a…
We analyze a model of spinless fermions on a triangular lattice at half-filling interacting via strong nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions, V, using the variational Monte Carlo simulation technique. The existence of three-sublattice…
Spinless fermions on a lattice with nearest-neighbor repulsion serve as a toy version Hubbard model, and have a symmetry-broken even/odd superlattice at half-filling. At infinite repulsion, doped holes form charged stripes which are…
Systems of nonlocally coupled oscillators can exhibit complex spatio-temporal patterns, called chimera states, which consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent (synchronized) and incoherent dynamics. We report on a novel form of…
