The quasiparticle excitation spectrum of an isolated vortex in a clean layered d-wave superconductor is calculated, using both the Bogoliubov--de Gennes and the quasiclassical Eilenberger equations. Analytical solutions are obtained within…
Tangles of string typically become knotted, from macroscopic twine down to long-chain macromolecules such as DNA. Here we demonstrate that knotting also occurs in quantum wavefunctions, where the tangled filaments are vortices (nodal…

We study quasiparticles of d-wave superconductors in the vortex lattice by self-consistently solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. It is found for a pure $d_{x^2-y^2}$ state that: (i) low-energy quasiparticle bands in the magnetic…

We study the quench dynamics of a topological $p$-wave superfluid with two competing order parameters, $\Delta_\pm(t)$. When the system is prepared in the $p+ip$ ground state and the interaction strength is quenched, only $\Delta_+(t)$ is…
We compute the structure of flux $h/(2e)$ vortices in a d-wave superconductor which emerges from a higher temperature pseudogap metal. Such a transition is described by a continuum theory of the Higgs condensation of 2 flavors of charge $e$…

Using the holographic gauge-gravity duality, we find a solution for an isolated vortex and a vortex lattice in a 2+1 dimensional p-wave superconductor, which is described by the boundary theory dual to an SU(2) gauge theory in 3+1…
The helical electron states on the surface of topological insulators or elemental Bismuth become unstable toward superconducting pairing formation when coupled to the charge or magnetic fluctuations. The latter gives rise to pairing…
The low-energy density of states (DOS) of disordered 2D d-wave superconductors is extremely sensitive to details of both the disorder model and the electronic band structure. Using diagrammatic methods and numerical solutions of the…
We explore the rich landscape of higher-form and non-invertible symmetries that emerge at low energies in generic ordered phases. Using that their charge is carried by homotopy defects (i.e., domain walls, vortices, hedgehogs, etc.), in the…
In a two-dimensional (2D) turbulent fluid containing point-like vortices, Lars Onsager predicted that adding energy to the fluid can lead to the formation of persistent clusters of like-signed vortices, i.e., Onsager vortex (OV) clusters.…
By using Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations, we study superconducting (SC) states in a quasi 2-dimensional system of radius $R$. It is shown that no vortices exist in s-wave SC samples with $R<R_\text{c}\sim\xi(0)$, the T=0 coherence…

One of the key effects which is predicted to arise in superconductors without a centre of inversion is the mixing of singlet and triplet order parameters, which are no longer good quantum numbers on their own due to parity. We have probed…
