A phenomenological diffusion law $L(t)\propto t^{\beta}$, where L(t) measures the spreading of a wave-packet in a time t, is assumed for perfect quasicrystals. We show that it affects their conductivity with striking differences compared to…
We investigate the spectral and transport properties of many-body quantum systems with conserved charges and kinetic constraints. Using random unitary circuits, we compute ensemble-averaged spectral form factors and linear-response…
Recent experiments with nanopatterned thin films revealed an unusual quantum superconductor to metal phase transition (QSMT) with a linear in temperature resistivity. In contrast, most known examples of such transitions and standard…
Non-Fermi-liquid charge transport in the vicinity of electronic instabilities has been intensely studied for decades. Deviations from $\rho_{\rm FL}=\rho_0+AT^2$ in bad and strange metals are commonly ascribed to a breakdown of Landau's…
Global symmetries that define the number of low energy degrees of freedom have profound consequences on universal properties near topological quantum critical points and in other gapless or nearly gapless states of emergent fermions. We…
We study the thermoelectric transport under shear strain in two spatial dimensional quantum matter using the holographic duality. General analytic formulae for the DC thermoelectric conductivities subjected to finite shear strain are…
Discrete time quasicrystals (DTQC) constitute a class of non-equilibrium matter characterized by temporal order without strict periodicity, in contrast to conventional time crystals. Investigating these phenomena is essential for expanding…
We consider two-dimensional metals of fermions coupled to quantum critical scalars, the latter representing order parameters or emergent gauge fields. We show that at low temperatures ($T$), such metals generically exhibit strange metal…
Complex many-particle quantum entanglement is a central theme in two distinct major topics in physics: the strange metal state found in numerous correlated electron compounds, and the quantum theory of black holes in Einstein gravity. The…
We extended and corrected Mott's two-band model for the composition-dependence of thermal and electrical conductivity in binary metal alloys based on high-throughput time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) measurements on diffusion multiples…
Experimental advances have allowed for the exploration of nearly isolated quantum many-body systems whose coupling to an external bath is very weak. A particularly interesting class of such systems is those which do not thermalize under…
The most puzzling aspect of the 'strange metal' behavior of correlated electron compounds is that the linear in temperature resistivity often extends down to low temperatures, lower than natural microscopic energy scales. We consider…
We define a particular combination of charge and heat currents that is decoupled with the heat current. This `heat-decoupled' (HD) current can be transported by diffusion at long distances, when some thermo-electric conductivities and…
Recent developments have indicated that in addition to out-of-time ordered correlation functions (OTOCs), quantum chaos also has a sharp manifestation in the thermal energy density two-point functions, at least for maximally chaotic…
Two-dimensional non-interacting fermions without any anti-unitary symmetries generically get Anderson localized in the presence of disorder. In contrast, topological superconductors with their inherent particle-hole symmetry can host a…
In the present chapter, we discuss an approach for transition from discrete to continuum description of thermomechanical behavior of solids. The transition is carried out for several anharmonic systems: one-dimensional crystal,…
I explore a theory of transport and optical properties of strange metallic carriers in strongly correlated systems that follows from assuming that the diffusion constant has reached its quantum limit $D=\hbar/m$, and that such quantum…
We consider a dissipative quantum Ising model periodically driven by a train of $\pi$-pulses and investigate dissipative discrete time crystals (DTCs) in solids. In this model, the interaction between the spins spontaneously breaks the…
We generalize leading-order asymptotics of a form of the heat content of a submanifold (van den Berg & Gilkey 2015) to the setting of time-dependent diffusion processes in the limit of vanishing diffusivity. Such diffusion processes arise…
Thermal and charge transport in the diffusive normal metal(DN) / insulator / $s$-, $d$- and p-wave superconductor junctions are studied for various situations, where we have used the Usadel equation with Nazarov's generalized boundary…
