We study the transversal dynamics of a charged stripe (quantum string) at $T = 0$ and show that its kink excitations play the role of current carriers. If the hopping amplitude $t$ is much smaller than the string tension $J$, the string is…
Sharp localization transitions of chiral edge states in disordered quantum wires, subject to strong magnetic field, are shown to be driven by crossovers from two- to one-dimensional localization of bulk states. As a result, the two-terminal…
