Quantizing Bosonized Fermi Surfaces
Sihan Chen, Luca V. Delacretaz
Bosonization describes Fermi surface dynamics in terms of a collective field that lives on a part of phase space. While sensible semiclassically, the challenge of treating such a f…
Active assembly and non-reciprocal dynamics of elastic membranes
John Berezney, Sattvic Ray, Itamar Kolvin +6
Equilibrium self-assembly and conventional materials processing techniques fall far short of mimicking dynamic self-actuating processes that are commonplace throughout biology. To…
Non-interacting fractional topological Stark insulator
Yi-Hong Chen, Si-Yuan Chen, Xin-Chi Zhou +1
Fractional topological phases, such as the fractional quantum Hall state, usually rely on strong interactions to generate ground state degeneracy with gap protection and fractional…
Chirality across scales in tissue dynamics
Sihan Chen, Doruk Efe Gökmen, Michel Fruchart +4
Chiral processes that lack mirror symmetry pervade nature from enantioselective molecular interactions to the asymmetric development of organisms. An outstanding challenge at the i…
