We investigate the resilience of spinon quasiparticles in the $J_1$-$J_2$ zig-zag spin chain ($J_2>0$) from the viewpoint of momentum-space entanglement. For small $J_2$, we show that deconfined spinons survive well past the liquid-dimer…
We put forward a proposal for topological quantum critical points (tQCPs) separating non-invertible chiral topological orders in $(2+1)$ dimensions. We conjecture that these tQCPs can be captured by a family of scale-invariant field…
Dielectric screening plays a crucial role in shaping the electronic structure of two-dimensional (2D) materials. In 2D semiconductors, screened Coulomb interactions arising from the surrounding dielectric environment are known to induce…
Correlation functions and correlation lengths are frequently used to describe phase transitions in quantum systems, but they require an explicit choice of observables. The recently introduced information lattice instead provides an…
Two of the iconic phases of the hole-doped cuprate materials are the intermediate temperature pseudogap metal and the lower temperature $d$-wave superconductor. Following the suggestion of P. W. Anderson, there were early theories of these…
We have investigated the orbital-dependent electronic states of Cd6Ce, a prototype of strongly correlated rare-earth-based Tsai-type quasicrystals and approximants (ACs) by soft and hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Our results reveal…
We review a theoretical framework for the cuprate superconductors, rooted in a fractionalized Fermi liquid (FL*) description of the intermediate-temperature pseudogap phase at low doping. The FL* theory predicted hole pockets each of…
The chiral magnetoelectric insulator Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ hosts a rich and anisotropic magnetic phase diagram that includes helical, conical, field-polarised, tilted conical, and skyrmion lattice phases. Using resonant elastic x-ray scattering…
The quantum anomalous Hall effect in magnetic kagome materials has emerged as a versatile platform for dissipationless electronic and spintronic devices. In this work, we demonstrate that the orientation of magnetic moments…
We investigate the effect of spatial exchange anisotropy on the spin-$1/2$ kagome antiferromagnet using Schwinger-boson mean-field theory. The anisotropy is introduced by strengthening the Heisenberg exchange along one set of…
Moir\'e superlattices of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) host strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures in which bosonic excitons coexist with correlated electron lattices. Using ultrafast, time- and energy-resolved photoluminescence…
The Kagome lattice Fermi-Hubbard model is one of the most physically rich, and at the same time most challenging, models to study in strongly-correlated physics. Among its special features are geometric frustration and a flat energy band…
Using DFT+DMFT we study the normal-state electronic structure and magnetic correlations of the recently discovered alternating single-layer bilayer Raddlesden-Popper nickelate La$_5$Ni$_3$O$_{11}$ (1212-LNO). Our results exhibit qualitative…
We consider a general model of a Luttinger liquid with broken parity and time reversal symmetry, but with their composite symmetry intact. Such a scenario can be due to a combination of torsion and a Zeeman field in nanowires, or a result…
After growing successfully high quality VP$_2$ single crystals, we studied systematically their longitudinal $\rho_{xx}(T)$ and Hall resistivity $\rho_{yx}(T)$ at various magnetic fields, combining the electronic band and Fermi surface (FS)…
We introduce QERNEL, a foundational neural wavefunction that variationally solves families of parameterized many-electron Hamiltonians and captures their ground states throughout parameter space within a single model. QERNEL combines…
We provide a route to constructing an electronic quantum charge liquid (QCL), a state made up of fermions at fractional filling of a lattice that does not break translation. Starting with spinless fermions at filling $\nu=3/2$ we pair them…
We report low-temperature $^{115}$In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of the prototypical heavy-fermion compound CeIrIn$_5$ in high magnetic fields applied close to the crystallographic $c$ axis. For this orientation, a field-induced…
Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) anomalies are powerful symmetry-based constraints on the correlation, entanglement and dynamics of quantum many-body systems. In this review, we discuss various LSM anomalies and anomaly matching. We start with a…
Double perovskites containing 4d--4f interactions provide a platform to study complex magnetic phenomena in correlated systems. Here, we investigate the magnetic ground state and quasiparticle excitations of the fascinating double…
