Charge density waves are emergent quantum states that spontaneously reduce crystal symmetry, drive metal-insulator transitions, and precede superconductivity. In low-dimensions, distinct quantum states arise, however, thermal fluctuations…
The interaction of many-body systems with intense light pulses may lead to novel emergent phenomena far from equilibrium. Recent discoveries, such as the optical enhancement of the critical temperature in certain superconductors and the…

We study post-quench dynamics of charge-density-wave (CDW) order in the square-lattice $t$-$V$ model. The ground state of this system at half-filling is characterized by a checkerboard modulation of particle density. A generalized…

Recently it was revealed that the whole Fermi surface is fully gapped for several families of underdoped cuprates. The existence of the finite energy gap along the $d$-wave nodal lines ("nodal gap") contrasts the common understanding of the…
The incommensurate charge density wave states (CDWs) can exhibit steady motion in the flow limit after depinning, behaving as a nonequilibrium system with time-dependent states. Since the moving CDW, like an electric current, breaks both…
We investigate the low-energy phase excitations of the quasi-one-dimensional charge density wave (CDW) in $\mathrm{K}_{0.3}\mathrm{Mo}\mathrm{O}_3$, by direct probing of infrared-active CDW-lattice modes (phase-phonons) with ultrafast…
Spontaneously broken symmetry in the ground state of Bi-based topological materials can lead to promising Topological superconductors, such as Cu-Bi2Se3, Sr-Bi2Se3 and Nb-Bi2Se3. In recent studies, coexistence of multiple Fermi surface…
We study a quasi-2D classical Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson effective field theory in the presence of quenched disorder in which incommensurate charge-density wave and superconducting orders are intertwined. The disorder precludes long-range…
A topological theory of d-wave superconductors is derived in this thesis. Ginzburg-Landau theory describes superconductivity by defining a complex order parameter and applying Landau's theory for phase transitions. However, there is no…
We analyze incommensurate charge-density-wave (CDW) and pair-density-wave (PDW) orders with transferred momenta $(\pm Q,0)$/$(0,\pm Q)$ in underdoped cuprates within the spin-fermion model. Both orders appear due to exchange of spin…

The interplay between charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity is a central theme in quantum materials, yet how CDW phase textures govern vortex topology remains poorly understood. We develop a theoretical framework showing that…
