Suppression of superfluidity by dissipation -- An application to failed superconductor
arXiv:1908.06590 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.102.104515
Abstract
The ground states of bosons have been classified into superfluid, Mott insulator, and bose glass. Recent experiments in two-dimensional superconductors strongly suggest the existence of the fourth quantum state of Cooper pairs, i.e., bose metal or quantum metal, where the resistivity remains constant at lowest temperature. However, its theoretical understanding remains unsettled. In this paper, we show theoretically that the bosons in the dilute limit subject to dissipation can lose the superfluidity and remain metallic, utilizing the Feynman's picture of superfluidity in the first quantized formulation. This result is relevant to the quantum vortices under an external magnetic field in two-dimensional superconductors with the finite resistivity of the normal core as the source of dissipation.
