A profound problem in modern condensed matter physics is discovering and understanding the nature of the fluctuations and their coupling to fermions in cuprates which lead to high temperature superconductivity and the invariably associated…
Rapidly rotating nuclei provide us good testing grounds to study the pairing correlations; in fact, the transition from the superfluid to the normal phase is realized at high-spin states. The role played by the pairing correlations is quite…
At temperatures above the superconducting transition temperature the pairfield susceptibility provides information on the nature of the pairfield fluctuations. Here we study the d-wave pairfield susceptibility of a 2D Hubbard model for…
Numerical studies of the Hubbard model and its strong-coupling form, the t-J model, show evidence for antiferromagnetic, d_{x^2-y^2}-pairing and stripe correlations which remind one of phenomena seen in the layered cuprate materials. Here,…
There is considerable evidence that the highest $T_c$ obtainable in a copper-oxide plane is limitted by the competition between two effects: On the one hand, as the concentration of doped-holes, $ x$, is increased, the pairing scale, which…
We use a symmetry-constrained variational procedure to construct a generalization of BCS to include Cooper pairs with non-zero momentum and angular momentum. The resulting gap equations are solved at zero and finite temperature, and the…
The in-plane optical conductivity of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d thin films with small carrier density (underdoped) up to large carrier density (overdoped) is analyzed with unprecedented accuracy. Integrating the conductivity up to increasingly higher…
We apply new techniques developed in a previous paper to the study of some surface effects in the 2D Ising model. We examine in particular the pinning-depinning transition. The results are valid for all subcritical temperatures. By duality…
Superconducting quantum circuits derive their nonlinearity from the Josephson energy-phase relation. Besides the fundamental $\cos\phi$ term, this relation can also contain higher Fourier harmonics $\cos(k\phi)$ corresponding to correlated…
We study phase transitions of coupled two dimensional XY systems with spatial anisotropy and $U(1) \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, motivated by spinless bosonic atoms trapped in square optical lattice on the metastable first excited…
It has long been thought that macroscopic phase coherence breaks down in effectively lower-dimensional superconducting systems even at zero temperature due to enhanced topological quantum phase fluctuations. In quasi-1D wires, these…
We analyze an unconventional inter-subband paired phase in a 2D doped superconductor considering both systems with the inversion symmetry and with the inversion symmetry broken. We find that for a centro-symmetric system the inter-subband…
The dynamics of a coupled system comprised of a two-level atom and cavity field assisted by continuous external classical field (driving Jaynes-Cummings model) is studied. When the initial field is prepared in a coherent state, the dynamics…
Evidence that the pseudogap (PG) in a near-optimally doped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ sample destroys the BCS logarithmic pairing instability [1] raises again the question of the role of the PG in the high-temperature…
Since the prediction of a time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) $d+id^\prime$ state in twisted bilayer cuprate superconductors by Can et al. in 2021, several experiments have attempted to detect this state, yielding conflicting results. At…
With non-invasive methods, we investigate ground and excited states of a lateral quantum dot. Charge detection via a quantum point contact is used to map the dot dynamics in a regime where the current through the dot is too low for…
The formation of Cooper pairs, a bound state of two electrons of opposite spin and momenta by exchange of a phonon [1], is a defining feature of conventional superconductivity. In the cuprate high temperature superconductors, even though it…
Preformed pairs above $T_c$ and the two-gap scenarios are two main proposals for describing the low doping pseudogap phase of high-$T_c$ cuprates. Very recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments have shown features which were…
We consider the phase transition in the dual Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature $T$. The phase transition is associated with a change (breaking) of symmetry. The effective mass of the dual gauge field is derived as a function of…
In this chapter the recent theoretical work on phase transition in imbalanced fermion superfluids is reviewed. The imbalanced systems are those in which the two fermionic species candidate to form pairing have different Fermi surfaces or…
