Polariton-Induced Unconventional Superconductivity and Emergent SU(2) Symmetry in Moire flat bands

Kai Sun, Hui Deng

We propose a polariton-moiré coupled system to realize an exact solvable model of strongly correlated superconductors. The polariton condensate induces intervalley attraction betwe…

Phases of (2+1)D SO(5) non-linear sigma model with a topological term on a sphere: multicritical point and disorder phase

Bin-Bin Chen, Xu Zhang, Yuxuan Wang +2

Novel critical phenomena beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm have been long sought after. Among many candidate scenarios, the deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) consti…

Loss-induced universal one-way transport in periodically driven systems

Chang Shu, Kai Zhang, Kai Sun

In this paper, we show that a periodically driven Aubry-André-Harper model with imbalanced on-site gain/loss supports universal one-way transport that is immune to impurities and i…

Geometrically frustrated self-assembly of hyperbolic crystals from icosahedral nanoparticles

Nan Cheng, Kai Sun, Xiaoming Mao

Geometric frustration is a fundamental concept in various areas of physics, and its role in self-assembly processes has recently been recognized as a source of intricate self-limit…

Rationalizing Euclidean Assemblies of Hard Polyhedra from Tessellations in Curved Space

Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Kai Sun, Xiaoming Mao +1

Entropic self-assembly is governed by the shape of the constituent particles, yet a priori prediction of crystal structures from particle shape alone is non-trivial for anything bu…

Ubiquitous nematic Dirac semimetal emerging from interacting quadratic band touching system

Hongyu Lu, Kai Sun, Zi Yang Meng +1

Quadratic band touching (QBT) points are widely observed in 2D and 3D materials, including bilayer graphene and Luttinger semimetals, and attract significant attention from theory…
