Bound states of two interacting particles moving on a lattice can exhibit remarkable features that are not captured by the underlying single-particle picture. Inspired by this phenomenon, we introduce a novel framework by which genuine…

We present a model of N-component hard-core bosons on a lattice. The limit N to infinity can be solved exactly. A saddle point approximation leads to a 1/N expansion and allows the calculation of physical quantities like the density of the…

I describe in these notes the physical properties of one dimensional interacting quantum particles. In one dimension the combined effects of interactions and quantum fluctuations lead to a radically new physics quite different from the one…
We establish non-Hermitian topological mechanics in one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) lattices consisting of mass points connected by meta-beams that lead to odd elasticity. Extended from the "non-Hermitian skin effect" in 1D…
We consider the dynamics of the 1+1 dimensional abelian Higgs model with axially coupled fermions, in the large N_f limit, on a lattice in space and real-time. We allow for inhomogeneous classical Bose fields. In order to deal with the…
We study the dynamics of one-dimensional bosons trapped in a box potential, in the presence of a barrier creating a tunable weak-link, thus realizing a one dimensional Bose Josephson junction. By varying the initial population imbalance and…
Recently, there is a considerable study on gapped symmetric phases of bosons that do not break any symmetry. Even without symmetry breaking, the bosons can still be in many exotic new states of matter, such as symmetry-protected trivial…
Topological mechanical metamaterials have enabled new ways to control stress and deformation propagation. Exemplified by Maxwell lattices, they have been studied extensively using a linearized formalism. Herein, we study a two-dimensional…
