Exciting new work on Bi2212 shows the presence of non-trivial spin-orbit coupling effects as seen in spin resolved ARPES data [Gotlieb et al., Science, 362, 1271-1275 (2018)]. Motivated by these observations we consider how the picture of…

Pressure-induced superconductivity in a spin-ladder cuprate Sr$_2$Ca$_{12}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ has not been studied on a microscopic level so far although the superconductivity was already discovered in 1996. We have improved high-pressure…

We argue that the shape of the dispersion along the nodal and antinodal directions in the cuprates can be understood as a consequence of the interaction of the electrons with collective spin excitations. In the normal state, the dispersion…
