Competition between pair and single-particle superfluidity in bosonic quasi-flat bands: A Gaussian state approach
Maxime Burgher, Simon Loddo, Laurens Vanderstraeten +2
The interplay between interactions and quantum geometry can drive weakly dispersive bosons into different exotic many-body phases. In this work we study a quasi flat-band model in…
Fate of chiral order and impurity self-pinning in flat bands with local symmetry
Maxime Burgher, Marco Di Liberto, Nathan Goldman +1
Interacting bosons on a single plaquette threaded by a -flux can spontaneously break time-reversal symmetry, resulting in a chiral loop current. Connecting such bosonic -fl…
Quantum impurities in finite-temperature Bose gases: Detecting vortex proliferation across the BKT and BEC transitions
Paolo Comaron, Nathan Goldman, Atac Imamoglu +1
Detecting vortices in neutral superfluids represents an outstanding experimental challenge. Using stochastic classical-field methods, we theoretically show that a quantum impurity…
Chiral polaron formation on the edge of topological quantum matter
Amit Vashisht, Ivan Amelio, Laurens Vanderstraeten +3
Immersing a mobile impurity in a quantum many-body environment can reveal fundamental properties of the background medium, hence providing a powerful probe of quantum matter. This…
