Thermal false vacuum decay near black holes is aspherical
D. S. Gorbunov, D. G. Levkov, V. E. Maslov
We study decay of a scalar field false vacuum near a (3+1)-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole equilibrated at Hawking temperature with the environment. Our scalar field model has…
Anyon Crystals and Hall Crystals in a Periodic Potential
Sayak Bhattacharjee, Julian May-Mann, Srinivas Raghu
We obtain integer and fractional quantum Hall crystals as ground states of a two-dimensional electron system subject to a strong perpendicular magnetic field and a periodic potenti…
Quantum turbulence in the many-body regime
Sayak Bhattacharjee, Mahendra K. Verma, Alexander V. Balatsky +1
We discuss phenomenology associated with turbulent hydrodynamics in quantum fluids from a condensed-matter perspective. We begin with weakly-interacting superfluids, often modeled…
Composite boson theory of Hall crystals and their transitions to Wigner crystals
Julian May-Mann, Sayak Bhattacharjee, Srinivas Raghu
We consider the crystallization of a two-dimensional electron system in a perpendicular magnetic field using composite boson theory. There are three possible states to consider: th…
Quantum Printing
Gabriel Aeppli, Alexander V. Balatsky, Stefano Bonetti +8
We introduce the concept of quantum printing -- the imprinting of quantum states from photons and phonons onto quantum matter. The discussion is focusing on charged fluids (metals,…
Structured light and induced vorticity in superconductors II: Quantum Print with Laguerre-Gaussian beam
Tien-Tien Yeh, Hennadii Yerzhakov, Logan Bishop-Van Horn +2
Challenge to control the quantum states of matter via light have been at the forefront of modern research on driven quantum matter. We explore the imprinting effects of structured…
