Fate of the Josephson effect in thin-film superconductors
Michael Hermele, Gil Refael, Matthew P. A. Fisher +1
The dc Josephson effect refers to the dissipationless electrical current -- the supercurrent -- that can be sustained across a weak link connecting two bulk superconductors. This e…
Atomic quantum simulator for lattice gauge theories and ring exchange models
H. P. Büchler, M. Hermele, S. D. Huber +2
We present the design of a ring exchange interaction in cold atomic gases subjected to an optical lattice using well understood tools for manipulating and controlling such gases. T…
Algebraic spin liquid as the mother of many competing orders
Michael Hermele, T. Senthil, Matthew P. A. Fisher
We study the properties of a class of two-dimensional interacting critical states -- dubbed algebraic spin liquids -- that can arise in two-dimensional quantum magnets. A particula…
On the stability of U(1) spin liquids in two dimensions
Michael Hermele, T. Senthil, Matthew P. A. Fisher +3
We establish that spin liquids described in terms of gapless fermionic (Dirac) spinons and gapless U(1) gauge fluctuations can be stable in two dimensions, at least when the physic…
Pyrochlore Photons: The U(1) Spin Liquid in a S=1/2 Three-Dimensional Frustrated Magnet
Michael Hermele, Matthew P. A. Fisher, Leon Balents
We study the S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the pyrochlore lattice in the limit of strong easy-axis exchange anisotropy. We find, using only standard techniques of degenerate…
