Sub-cycle doublon-holon dynamics in one-dimensional Mott insulators revealed by two-color high-harmonic spectroscopy

Lance Hatch, Aditya Verma, Eric Schultz +7

Solid-state high-harmonic spectroscopy is becoming an emerging tool for probing nonequilibrium many-body dynamics. Yet, direct measurements of strongly driven, sub-optical-cycle dy…

Thermalization of Randomly Coupled SYK Models

Ramanjit Sohal, Laimei Nie, Xiao-Qi Sun +1

We investigate the thermalization of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models coupled via random interactions following quenches from the perspective of entanglement. Previous studies have s…

Scrambling and Lyapunov Exponent in Unitary Networks with Tunable Interactions

Anna Keselman, Laimei Nie, Erez Berg

Scrambling of information in a quantum many-body system, quantified by the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC), is a key manifestation of quantum chaos. A regime of exponential g…

Collusion of Interactions and Disorder at the Superfluid-Insulator Transition: A Dirty 2d Quantum Critical Point

Hart Goldman, Alex Thomson, Laimei Nie +1

We study the stability of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point of the quantum vector model to quenched disorder in the large- limit. While a random mass is strongly re…

Vestigial nematicity from spin and/or charge order in the cuprates

Laimei Nie, Akash V. Maharaj, Eduardo Fradkin +1

Nematic order has manifested itself in a variety of materials in the cuprate family. We propose an effective field theory of a layered system with incommensurate, intertwined spin-…

Ideal charge density wave order in the high-field state of superconducting YBCO

H. Jang, W. -S. Lee, H. Nojiri +20

The existence of charge density wave (CDW) correlations in cuprate superconductors has now been established. However, the nature of the ground state order has remained uncertain be…

Quenched disorder and vestigial nematicity in the pseudo-gap regime of the cuprates

Laimei Nie, Gilles Tarjus, S. A. Kivelson

We have carried out a theoretical analysis of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson effective field theory of a classical incommensurate CDW in the presence of weak quenched disorder. While t…
