A Bose metallic phase disrupts the classic two-state superconductor-insulator picture.

The conventional theory of metals is in crisis. In the last 15 years, there has been an unexpected sprouting of metallic states in low dimensional systems directly contradicting conventional wisdom. For example, bosons are thought to exist…

In the quantum rotor model with random exchange interactions having a non-zero mean, three phases, a 1) phase (Bose) glass, 2) superfluid, and 3) Mott insulator, meet at a bi-critical point. We demonstrate that proximity to the bi-critical…

We revisit the concept of superfluidity in bosonic lattice models in low dimensions. Then, by using numerical and analytical results obtained previously for equivalent spinless fermion models, we show that the gapless phase of 1D…

In this paper, we extend our previous discussion of the Bose metal to the field tuned case. We point out that the recent observation of the metallic state as an intermediate phase between the superconductor and the insulator in the field…

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are not expected to be metals at low temperature due to electron localization. Consistent with this, pioneering studies on thin films reported only superconducting and insulating ground states, with a direct…

Bose metals are metals made of Cooper pairs, which form at very low temperatures in superconducting films and Josephson junction arrays as an intermediate phase between superconductivity and superinsulation. We predicted the existence of…

We investigate the possibility of finding a zero-temperature metallic phase in granular superconducting films. We are able to identify the breakdown of the conventional treatment of these systems as dissipative Bose systems. We do not find…

This paper aims to justify, at a microscopic level, the existence of a two-dimensional Bose metal, i.e. a metallic phase made out of Cooper pairs at T=0. To this end, we consider the physics of quantum phase fluctuations in (granular)…

It is observed that many thin superconducting films with not too high disorder level (generally R$_N/\Box \leq 2000 \Omega$) placed in magnetic field show an anomalous metallic phase where the resistance is low but still finite as…

Understanding non-Fermi liquids in dimensions higher than one, has been a subject of great interest. Such phases may serve as parent states for other unconventional phases of quantum matter, in a similar manner that conventional broken…

The study of non-Fermi liquids sheds light on unconventional phenomena in condensed matter systems that lie beyond the scope of Landau Fermi liquid theory. One intriguing example is the Bose metal, characterized by an uncondensed bosonic…

We show here that the regularization of the conductivity resulting from the bosonic interactions on the `insulating' (quantum disordered) side of an insulator-superconductor transition in 2D gives rise to a metal with a finite conductivity,…

Crystalline symmetries have played a central role in the identification of topological materials. The use of symmetry indicators and band representations have enabled a classification scheme for crystalline topological materials, leading to…

We employ {\it{ab-initio}} calculations to investigate the charge density waves in single-layer NbSe$_2$, and we explore how they are affected by transition metal atoms. Our calculations reproduce the observed orthorhombic phase in…

Two of the most prominent phases of bosonic matter are the superfluid with perfect flow and the insulator with no flow. A now decades-old mystery unexpectedly arose when experimental observations indicated that bosons could organize into…

We suggest that measuring the variation of the radius of an atomic cloud when the harmonic tap confinement is varied make it possible to monitor the disappearance of the insulating Mott phase of an ultracold atomic gas trapped in a…

The combined effect of disorder and interactions is central to the richness of condensed matter physics and can lead to novel quantum states such as the Bose glass phase in disordered bosonic systems. Here, we report on the experimental…

We study a two-dimensional system of bosons interacting with a fluctuating U(1) gauge field with overdamped dynamics. We find two instabilities of the condensed phase at T=0: one to phase separation and another to a homogeneous…

We improve on the Popov theory for partially Bose-Einstein condensed atomic gases by treating the phase fluctuations exactly. As a result, the theory becomes valid in arbitrary dimensions and is able to describe the low-temperature…
