Indirect excitons -- pairs of electrons and holes spatially separated in semiconductor bilayers or quantum wells -- are known to undergo Bose-Einstein condensation and to form a quantum fluid. Here we show that this superfluid may…
Distinguishing an exciton condensate from an excitonic gas or insulator remains a fundamental challenge, as both phases feature bound electron-hole pairs but differ only by the emergence of macroscopic phase coherence. Here, we…

Properties of the Kondo effect in quantum dots depend sensitively on the coupling parameters and so on the realization of the quantum dot -- the Kondo temperature itself becomes a mesoscopic quantity. Assuming chaotic dynamics in the dot,…
