Specific heat of 2D interacting Majorana fermions from holography
Paolo Maraner, Jiannis K. Pachos, Giandomenico Palumbo
Majorana fermions are a fascinating medium for discovering new phases of matter. However, the standard analytical tools are very limited in probing the non-perturbative aspects of…
Cold atom simulation of interacting relativistic quantum field theories
J. Ignacio Cirac, Paolo Maraner, Jiannis K. Pachos
We demonstrate that Dirac fermions self-interacting or coupled to dynamic scalar fields can emerge in the low energy sector of designed bosonic and fermionic cold atom systems. We…
Yang-Mills gauge theories from fermionic lattice models
Paolo Maraner, Jiannis K. Pachos
A doublet of three-dimensional Dirac fermions can effectively describe the low energy spectrum of a fermionic cubic lattice. We employ this fermion doubling to encode a non-Abelian…
