Toward Hamiltonian simulations of Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory: constant modes and gauge field truncation
Andrea Bulgarelli, Maria Cristina Diamantini, Nico Dichter +6
Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) theory in dimensions provides a paradigmatic example of a topological gauge theory with both dynamical and topological degrees of freedom. Its Eucl…
Bose metals, from prediction to realization
M. Cristina Diamantini, Carlo A. Trugenberger
Bose metals are metals made of Cooper pairs, which form at very low temperatures in superconducting films and Josephson junction arrays as an intermediate phase between superconduc…
Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless quantum transition in 2 dimensions
M. C. Diamantini, C. A. Trugenberger, V. M. Vinokur
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is the prototype of a phase transition driven by the formation and interaction of topological defects in two-dimensional (2D) s…
Hamiltonian Lattice Formulation of Compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons Theory
Changnan Peng, Maria Cristina Diamantini, Lena Funcke +6
In this paper, a Hamiltonian lattice formulation for 2+1D compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory is derived. We analytically solve this theory and demonstrate that the mass gap in the…
Bulk superinsulation and polar nematic order in nanopatterned NbTiN
A. Yu. Mironov, C. A. Trugenberger, M. C. Diamantini +2
We present an experimental evidence of 3D superinsulation in a nanopatterned slab of NbTiN, given by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman (VFT) scaling of the conductance when approaching the…
