We address the experimentally relevant situation, where a non-equilibrium state is created at the edge of a quantum Hall system by injecting charge current into a chiral edge state with the help of a quantum point contact, quantum dots, or…
We study the quantum electrodynamics of Luttinger fermions with quadratic band-crossing dispersion in three dimensions. The model can be viewed as the low-energy effective theory of a putative $U(1)$ quantum spin liquid with fermionic…
We consider 2d gas of spinless fermions with the Coulomb interaction on a lattice at T=0 and at different values of the hopping amplitude J. At small J electrons form a periodic structure. At filling factor \nu=1/6 this structure melts at J…
Different formulations of the $4d$ compact lattice QED with staggered fermions (standard Wilson and modified by suppression of lattice artifacts) are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations within the quenched approximation. We show that…
We present an unconstrained tree tensor network approach to the study of lattice gauge theories in two spatial dimensions showing how to perform numerical simulations of theories in presence of fermionic matter and four-body magnetic terms,…
Mott insulators are commonly pictured with electrons localized on lattice sites. Their low-energy degrees of freedom involve spins only. Here we observe emerging charge degrees of freedom in a molecule-based Mott insulator…
Composite Fermi liquid metals arise at certain special filling fractions in the quantum Hall regime and play an important role as parent states of gapped states with quantized Hall response. They have been successfully described by the…
By using the cluster perturbation theory, we investigate the effects of the local electron-phonon interaction in the quantum spin Hall topological insulator described by the half-filled Kane-Mele model on an honeycomb lattice. Starting from…
The quantum dimer model on the square lattice is equivalent to a $U(1)$ gauge theory. Quantum Monte Carlo calculations reveal that, for values of the Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) coupling $\lambda < 1$, the theory exists in a confining columnar…
A new multifermion formulation of lattice QCD is proposed. The model is free of spectrum doubling and preserves all nonanomalous chiral symmetries up to exponentially small corrections. It is argued that a small number of fermion fields may…
New emergent states of matter in quantum systems may be created under non-equilibrium conditions if - through many body interactions - its constituents order on a timescale which is shorter than the time required for the system to reach…
We study models of itinerant spinless fermions with random long-range interactions. We motivate such models from descriptions of fermionic atoms in multi-mode optical cavities. The solution of an infinite-range model yields a metallic phase…
Motivated by recent experiments, we study a quasi-one dimensional model of a Kondo lattice with Ferromagnetic coupling between the spins. Using bosonization and dynamical large-N techniques we establish the presence of a Fermi liquid and a…
We consider one-dimensional, interacting spinless bosons on a tight-binding lattice described by the Bose-Hubbard model. Besides attractive on-site two-body interactions, we include a three-body repulsive term such that the competition…
We combine model mapping, exact spectral bounds, and a quantum Monte Carlo method to study the ground state phases of a mixture of ultracold bosons and spin-polarized fermions in a one-dimensional optical lattice. The exact boundary of the…
We present a general review of the projective symmetry group classification of fermionic quantum spin liquids for lattice models of spin $S=1/2$. We then introduce a systematic generalization of the approach for symmetric $\mathbb{Z}_2$…
We study low temperature properties of atomic gases in trimerized optical kagom\'{e} lattices. The laser arrangements that can be used to create these lattices are briefly described. We also present explicit results for the coupling…
We propose a two-fluid description of fractional quantum Hall systems, in which one component is a condensate of composite bosons and the other a Fermi liquid formed by composite fermions (or simply electrons). We employ the theory to model…
In addition to low-energy spin fluctuations, which distinguish them from band insulators, Mott insulators often possess orbital degrees of freedom when crystal-field levels are partially filled. While in most situations spins and orbitals…
We describe a number of aspects in our attempt to construct an approximately perfect lattice action for QCD. Free quarks are made optimally local on the whole renormalized trajectory and their couplings are then truncated by imposing…
