We study the quantum transition from an antiferromagnet to a superconductor in a model for electron- and hole-doped cuprates by means of a variational cluster perturbation theory approach. In both cases, our results suggest a tendency…
The quest for entangled spin excitations has stimulated intense research on frustrated magnetic systems. For almost two decades, the triangular-lattice Mott insulator $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$ has been the hottest candidate for…
The transport experiments reveal that the low-temperature resistivity in the normal-state of cuprate superconductors is quadratic in temperature (T-quadratic) in the underdoped pseudogap phase, while it is linear in temperature (T-linear)…
On the basis of an electronic model with separable attractive interaction, the precursors at high temperature and strong coupling of the d-wave superconducting state are investigated in the one-particle spectral function $A({\bf k},\omega)$…

Using the d-p model, we demonstrate that the pseudogap, which is induced by the superconducting fluctuation, plays key roles in the determination of the phase diagram observed in high-Tc superconducting materials. We take the pairing…
We develop a slave-boson theory for the t-J model at finite doping which respects an SU(2) symmetry -- a symmetry previously known to be important at half filling. The mean field phase diagram is found to be consistent with the phases…
It is generally accepted that doped Mott insulators can be well characterized by the t-J model. In the t-J model, the electron fractionalization is dictated by the phase string effect. We found that in the underdoped regime, the…
Cuprates exhibit exceptionally strong superconductivity. To understand why, it is essential to elucidate the nature of the electronic interactions that cause pairing. Superconductivity occurs on the backdrop of several underlying electronic…
A pseudogap (PG) was introduced by Mott to describe a state of matter which has a minimum in the density of states at the Fermi level, deep enough for states to become localized. It can arise either from Coulomb repulsion between electrons,…
In the pseudogap phase of the cuprate, a thermal Hall response of neutral objects has been recently detected experimentally, which continuously persists into the antiferromagnetic insulating phase. In this work, we study the transport…
In the presence of nonlocal phase shift effects, a quasiparticle can remain topologically stable even in a spin-charge separation state due to the confinement effect introduced by the phase shifts at finite doping. True deconfinement only…
At sufficiently low temperatures, condensed-matter systems tend to develop order. An exception are quantum spin-liquids, where fluctuations prevent a transition to an ordered state down to the lowest temperatures. While such states are…
The transport experiments demonstrate a dramatic switch from the low-temperature linear in temperature (T-linear) resistivity in the overdoped strange-metal phase of cuprate superconductors to the low-temperature quadratic in temperature…
The t-J model in the large N limit (N denotes the number of spin components) yields a pseudogap phase in the underdoped region which is related to a d-wave charge density wave (d-CDW). We present results for the doping dependence of the…
Aspects of electron critical differentiation are clarified in the proximity of the Mott insulator. The flattening of the quasiparticle dispersion appears around momenta $(\pi,0)$ and $(0,\pi)$ on square lattices and determines the…
We point out that a system which supports chiral superconductivity should also support a chiral pseudogap phase: a finite temperature phase wherein superconductivity is lost but time reversal symmetry is still broken. This chiral pseudogap…
