Electronic states near a square Fermi surface are mapped onto quantum chains. Using boson-fermion duality on the chains, the bosonic part of the interaction is isolated and diagonalized. These interactions destroy Fermi liquid behavior.…

The transmission phase through a quantum dot with few electrons shows a complex, non-universal behavior. Here we combine configuration-interaction calculations ---treating rigorously Coulomb interaction--- and the Friedel sum rule to…

The intriguing idea that strongly interacting electrons can generate spatially inhomogeneous electronic liquid crystalline phases is over a decade old, but these systems still represent an unexplored frontier of condensed matter physics.…
