We perform large-scale, numerically exact calculations on the two-dimensional interacting Fermi gas with a contact attraction. Reaching much larger lattice sizes and lower temperatures than previously possible, we determine systematically…
A general theory of the Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) type phase transitions in low-dimensional systems is proposed. It is shown that in d-dimensional case the necessary conditions for it can take place are 1) conformal invariance of…
A zero-temperature magnetic-field-driven superconductor to insulator transition (SIT) in quasi-two-dimensional superconductors is expected to occur when the applied magnetic-field crosses a certain critical value. A fundamental question is…
The melting of quasi-long-range superconductivity in two spatial dimensions occurs through the proliferation and unbinding of vortex-antivortex pairs -- a phenomenon known as the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. Although…
An effective field theory is derived for the normal metal-to-superconductor quantum phase transition at T=0. The critical behavior is determined exactly for all dimensions d>2. Although the critical exponents \beta and \nu do not exist, the…
The superfluid to normal fluid transition of dipolar bosons in two dimensions is studied throughout the whole density range using path integral Monte Carlo simulations and summarized in the phase diagram. While at low densities, we find…
We study the phase diagram and critical behavior of a two-dimensional lattice SO($N_c$) gauge theory ($N_c \ge 3$) with two scalar flavors, obtained by partially gauging a maximally O($2N_c$) symmetric scalar model. The model is invariant…
We have measured $R(T,B)$ of a TiN thin-film very close to the disorder-driven superconductor-insulator transition but still superconducting at zero field and low temperatures. In a magnetic field we find three distinct crossing point of…
Symmetry breaking in topological matter has become in recent years a key concept in condensed matter physics to unveil novel electronic states. In this work, we predict that broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling in…
In this paper, we thoroughly examined the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in the two-dimensional XY model on the honeycomb lattice. To address its thermodynamical behavior, we combined standard numerical Monte Carlo…
Finite-size scaling analysis is a well-accepted method for identification and characterization of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in superconducting, magnetic and insulating systems. We formally apply this analysis in the form suitable for…
We develop a semi-analytical description for the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) like phase transition in nonequilibrium Bose-Einstein condensates. Our theoretical analysis is based on a noisy generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation.…
For nearly a half century the dominant orthodoxy has been that the only effect of the Cooper pairing is the state with zero resistivity at finite temperatures, superconductivity. In this work we demonstrate that by the symmetry of the…
We study the fate of superconductivity in the vicinity of a class of metallic quantum critical points obtained by coupling a Fermi surface to a critical boson. In such systems there is a competition between the enhanced pairing tendency due…
Based on the rapid experimental developments of circuit QED, we propose a feasible scheme to simulate a spin-boson model with the superconducting circuits, which can be used to detect quantum Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) phase transition. We…
We report results of large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of superfluid--insulator transitions in commensurate 2D bosonic systems. In the case of off-diagonal disorder (quantum percolation), we find that the transition is to a gapless…
We provide a microscopic-level derivation of earlier results showing that, in the critical vicinity of the superconductor-to-insulator transition (SIT), disorder and localization become negligible and the structure of the emergent phases is…
It is argued that two-dimensional U(N) spin models for any N undergo a BKT-like phase transition, similarly to the famous XY model. This conclusion follows from the Berezinskii-like calculation of the two-point correlation function in U(N)…
We analyze the extended superfluid density data of Bo\v{z}ovi\'{c} \textit{ et al}. taken on homogenous thin films to explore the critical properties of the thermal (TSM) and quantum superconductor to metal (QSM) transitions in overdoped…
A microscopic analysis of the superconducting quantum critical point realized via a pair-breaking quantum phase transition is presented. Finite temperature crossovers are derived for the electrical conductivity, which is a key probe of…
