Non-Abelian Quantum Low-Density Parity Check Codes and Non-Clifford Operations from Gauging Logical Gates via Measurements

Maine Christos, Chiu Fan Bowen Lo, Vedika Khemani +1

In this work, we introduce constructions for non-Abelian qLDPC codes obtained by gauging transversal Clifford gates using measurement and feedback. In particular, we identify two q…

Fractionalized Fermi liquids and the cuprate phase diagram

Pietro M. Bonetti, Maine Christos, Alexander Nikolaenko +2

We review a theoretical framework for the cuprate superconductors, rooted in a fractionalized Fermi liquid (FL*) description of the intermediate-temperature pseudogap phase at low…

Thermal SU(2) lattice gauge theory for intertwined orders and hole pockets in the cuprates

Harshit Pandey, Maine Christos, Pietro M. Bonetti +3

The cuprate pseudogap phase displays Fermi arc spectral weight in photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), while recent magnetotransport observations yield evidence f…

Finite-momentum pairing and superlattice superconductivity in valley-imbalanced rhombohedral graphene

Maine Christos, Pietro M. Bonetti, Mathias S. Scheurer

Inspired by the recent experimental discovery of superconductivity emerging from a time-reversal symmetry-breaking normal state in tetralayer rhombohedral graphene, we here investi…

Approximate symmetries, insulators, and superconductivity in continuum-model description of twisted WSe

Maine Christos, Pietro M. Bonetti, Mathias S. Scheurer

Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in twisted bilayer WSe, we analyze the correlated physics in this system in the framework of a continuum model for the mo…

Quantum oscillations in the hole-doped cuprates and the confinement of spinons

Pietro M. Bonetti, Maine Christos, Subir Sachdev

A long standing problem in the study of the under-hole-doped cuprates has been the description of the Fermi surfaces underlying the high magnetic field quantum oscillations, and th…

Deconfined quantum criticality of nodal -wave superconductivity, Néel order, and charge order on the square lattice at half-filling

Maine Christos, Henry Shackleton, Subir Sachdev +1

We consider a SU(2) lattice gauge theory on the square lattice, with a single fundamental complex fermion and a single fundamental complex boson on each lattice site. Projective sy…

Emergence of nodal Bogoliubov quasiparticles across the transition from the pseudogap metal to the d-wave superconductor

Maine Christos, Subir Sachdev

We model the pseudogap state of the hole- and electron-doped cuprates as a metal with hole and/or electron pocket Fermi surfaces. In the absence of long-range antiferromagnetism, s…

Nodal band-off-diagonal superconductivity in twisted graphene superlattices

Maine Christos, Subir Sachdev, Mathias S. Scheurer

The superconducting state and mechanism are among the least understood phenomena in twisted graphene systems. For instance, recent tunneling experiments indicate a transition betwe…

A model of -wave superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and charge order on the square lattice

Maine Christos, Zhu-Xi Luo, Henry Shackleton +3

Early studies proposed a connection between cuprate superconductivity and fractionalized spin liquid states. But the low temperature phase diagram is dominated by states without fr…

Critical metallic phase in the overdoped random - model

Maine Christos, Darshan G. Joshi, Subir Sachdev +1

We investigate a model of electrons with random and all-to-all hopping and spin exchange interactions, with a constraint of no double occupancy. The model is studied in a Sachdev-Y…
