We show, that in contrast to the free electron model (standard BCS model), a particular gap in the spectrum of multiband superconductors opens at some distance from the Fermi energy, if conduction band is composed of hybridized atomic…
Edge states of semi-infinite nanowires in tight binding limit are examined. We argue that understanding these edge states provides a pathway to generic comprehension of surface states in many semi-infinite physical systems. It is shown that…
Topological phases are characterised by a topological invariant that remains unchanged by deformations in the Hamiltonian. Materials exhibiting topological phases include topological insulators, superconductors exhibiting strong spin-orbit…
We show that homogeneous superconductors with broken spin/isospin symmetry lower their energy via a transition to a novel superconducting state where the Fermi-surfaces are deformed to a quasi-ellipsoidal form at zero total momentum of…
We study quantum features of electromagnetic radiation propagating in the one-dimensional superconducting quantum metamaterial comprised of an infinite chain of charge qubits placed within two-stripe massive superconductive resonators. The…
We identify universal properties of the low-energy subspace of a wide class of quantum optical models in the ultrastrong coupling limit, where the coupling strength dominates over all other energy scales in the system. We show that the…
We propose a scenario for superconductivity at strong electron-electron attractive interaction, in the case when the increase of the interaction strength promotes the nucleation of the local Cooper pairs and forms a state with a spatially…
In general a superconducting state breaks multiple symmetries and, therefore, is characterized by several different coherence lengths $\xi_i$, $i=1,...,N$. Moreover in multiband material even superconducting states that break only a single…
We consider a multiband metal with deep primary bands and a shallow secondary one. In the normal state the system undergoes Lifshitz transition when the bottom of the shallow band crosses the Fermi level. In the superconducting state Cooper…
A generic semiclassical superconducting nanostructure connected to multiple superconducting terminals hosts a quasi-continuous spectrum of Andreev states. The spectrum is sensitive to the superconducting phases of the terminals. It can be…
At low temperature, the concentration of quasiparticles observed in superconducting circuits far exceeds the predictions of microscopic BCS theory at equilibrium. As a source of dissipation, these excess quasiparticles degrade the…
The superconducting gap modulation is investigated in the presence of a weak stripe structure, using the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory on the two-dimensional Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor site pairing interaction. We calculate the local…
This review describes the main experimental facts and a number of theoretical models concerning the pseudogap state in high - temperature superconductors. On the phase diagram of HTSC - cuprates the pseudogap state is observed in the region…
We argue that any superconductor with magnetic impurities is gapless due to a Lifshitz tail in the density of states extending to zero energy. At low energy the density of states $\nu(E \to 0)$ remains finite. We show that fluctuations in…
Motivated by studies of typical properties of quantum states in statistical mechanics, we introduce phase-random states, an ensemble of pure states with fixed amplitudes and uniformly distributed phases in a fixed basis. We first show that…
The study of topological superconductivity is largely based on the analysis of simple mean-field models that do not conserve particle number. A major open question in the field is whether the remarkable properties of these mean-field models…
We revise the problem of the density of states in disordered superconductors. Randomness of local sample characteristics translates to the quenched spatial inhomogeneity of the spectral gap, smearing the BCS coherence peak. We show that…
Nonequilibrium properties of short-coherence-length s-wave superconductors are analyzed in the presence of extrinsic and intrinsic inhomogeneities. In general, the lowest-energy configurations of quasiparticle excitations are topological…
We show that spectral form factors of unconventional gapped superconductors have singularities occurring periodically in time. These are the superconductors whose gap function vanishes somewhere in momentum space (Brillouin zone) but whose…
Conventional superconductors are strong diamagnets that through the Meissner effect expel magnetic fields. It would therefore be surprising if a superconducting ground state would support spontaneous magnetics fields. Such time-reversal…
