The standing wave model describes the well-known phenomenon of superconductivity in a new way [1]. Starting from a new definition of superconductivity, a microscopic London relation is derived from first principles. The relation between the…
Quantum critical behaviors induced by a putative quantum phase transition are vigilantly investigated, which separates a $d$-wave superconducting state and $d$-wave superconducting+$X$ state below the superconducting dome of the $d-$wave…
In several unconventional superconductors, the highest superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$ is found in a region of the phase diagram where the antiferromagnetic transition temperature extrapolates to zero, signaling a putative…
Near a quantum critical point (QCP) in a metal, strong Fermion-Fermion interactions mediated by soft collective bosons give rise to two competing phenomena: non-Fermi liquid behavior and superconductivity that deviates from conventional BCS…
We present here an extensive theoretical analysis of the supercurrent of a superconducting point contact of arbitrary transparency in the presence of a microwave field. Our study is mainly based on two different approaches: a two-level…
We study the timely issue of charge order checkerboard patterns observed in a variety of cuprate superconductors. We suggest a minimal model in which strong quantum fluctuations in the vicinity of a single antiferromagnetic quantum critical…
We study a quantum system that consists of two fermionic chains coupled by a driven quantum point contact (QPC). The QPC contains a bond with a periodically varying tunneling amplitude. Initially the left chain is packed with fermions while…
We discuss some of the basic theoretical aspects of current-carrying states in superconducting superlattices with tunnel barriers in the mesoscopic regime, when the superconducting layer thickness is small compared to the BCS coherence…
We study the effects of quantum fluctuations on the transport properties of multiband superconductors near a pair-breaking quantum critical point. For this purpose, we consider a minimal model of the quantum phase transition in a system…
A method for calculation of the critical temperature of transition of a many-particle Fermi system into a superfluid or a superconducting state at an arbitrary pair potential of the interparticle interaction is proposed. An original…
The supercurrent of a quantum point contact coupled to a nanomagnet strongly depends on the dynamics of the nanomagnet's spin. We employ a fully microscopic model to calculate the transport properties of a junction coupled to a spin whose…
One of the hallmark experiments of quantum transport is the observation of the quantized resistance in a point contact formed with split gates in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. Being carried out on a single material, they represent in an…
Atomic quantum point contacts accommodate a small number of conduction channels. Their number N and transmission coefficients {T_n} can be determined by analyzing the subgap structure due to multiple Andreev reflections in the…
Quantum criticality describes the collective fluctuations of matter undergoing a second-order phase transition at zero temperature. Heavy fermion metals have in recent years emerged as prototypical systems to study quantum critical points.…
It was established experimentally that a critical value of the diamagnetic current, excited by an external magnetic field in a superconducting ring (with an inductance of about ~ 10^-6 H) with a Nb-Nb clamping point contact having the…
Recent advances in experimental techniques allow one to create a quantum point contact between two Fermi superfluids in cold atomic gases with a tunable transmission coefficient. In this Letter we propose that three distinct behaviors of…
We review our experiments on the electronic transport properties of atomic contacts between metallic electrodes, in particular superconducting ones. Despite ignorance of the exact atomic configuration, these ultimate quantum point contacts…
The impact of quantum fluctuations on the phase diffusion in resistively shunted superconducting quantum points subject to an external ac-voltage is studied. Based on an extension of the classical Smoluchowski equation to the quantum…
Motivated by the recent experimentally observed manifestations of the quantum critical point fluctuations in the thermodynamic properties of multiband superconductors, we derive a general expression for the Josephson current of various…
We consider the problem of the superconductor-insulator transition in the presence of disorder, assuming that the fermionic degrees of freedom can be ignored so that the problem reduces to one of Cooper pair localization. Weak disorder…
