Evolution of the Superfluid Density in Infinite-Layer Nickelates

Bai Yang Wang, Shannon P. Harvey, Kyuho Lee +6

Nickelate superconductors provide a valuable new platform for the study of unconventional superconductivity that is complementary to the cuprates. One of the central puzzles about…

Pauli 'unlimited': magnetic field induced-superconductivity in UTe

Josephine J. Yu, Yue Yu, Chaitanya Murthy +1

Inspired by the observation of extreme field-boosted superconductivity in uranium ditelluride, we present a scenario in which superconductivity can be induced by a strong Zeeman fi…

Modified interferometer to measure anyonic braiding statistics

Steven A. Kivelson, Chaitanya Murthy

Existing quantum Hall interferometers measure twice the braiding phase, , of Abelian anyons, i.e. the phase accrued when one quasi-particle encircles another clockwise. We…

Luttinger Liquid phase in the Aubry-André Hubbard chain

Runze Chi, Josephine J. Yu, Chaitanya Murthy +1

We study the interplay between an on-site Hubbard repulsion and quasiperiodic potential in one-dimensional fermion chains using the density matrix renormalization group. We find th…

Dynamical defects in a two-dimensional Wigner crystal: self-doping and kinetic magnetism

Kyung-Su Kim, Ilya Esterlis, Chaitanya Murthy +1

We study the quantum dynamics of interstitials and vacancies in a two-dimensional Wigner crystal (WC) using a semi-classical instanton method that is asymptotically exact at low de…

Strange-metal behavior in a Fermi liquid with strange scatterers

Erez Berg, Gaël Grissonnanche, Steven A. Kivelson +4

A variety of low-temperature, normal-state properties of optimally and overdoped cuprate superconductors, including the DC and optical transport responses, are sufficiently anomalo…

Interstitial-induced ferromagnetism in a two-dimensional Wigner crystal

Kyung-Su Kim, Chaitanya Murthy, Akshat Pandey +1

The two-dimensional Wigner crystal (WC) occurs in the strongly interacting regime () of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The magnetism of a pure WC is determined…

Non-Abelian eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

Chaitanya Murthy, Arman Babakhani, Fernando Iniguez +2

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains why chaotic quantum many-body systems thermalize internally if the Hamiltonian lacks symmetries. If the Hamiltonian conserve…

Character of the "normal state" of the nickelate superconductors

Kyuho Lee, Bai Yang Wang, Motoki Osada +10

The occurrence of superconductivity in proximity to various strongly correlated phases of matter has drawn extensive focus on their normal state properties, to develop an understan…

Quantum-critical dynamics of a Josephson junction at the topological transition

Vladislav D. Kurilovich, Chaitanya Murthy, Pavel D. Kurilovich +3

We find the admittance of a Josephson junction at or near a topological transition. The dependence of the admittance on frequency and temperature at the critical point is un…

Energy spectrum and current-phase relation of a nanowire Josephson junction close to the topological transition

Chaitanya Murthy, Vladislav D. Kurilovich, Pavel D. Kurilovich +3

A semiconducting nanowire proximitized by an -wave superconductor can be tuned into a topological state by an applied magnetic field. This quantum phase transition is marked by…

Almost Perfect Metals in One Dimension

Chaitanya Murthy, Chetan Nayak

We show that a one-dimensional quantum wire with as few as 2 channels of interacting fermions can host metallic states of matter that are stable against all perturbations up to $q^…
