Tunneling spectra of layered strongly correlated d-wave superconductors
Tiago C. Ribeiro, Xiao-Gang Wen
Tunneling conductance experiments on cuprate superconductors exhibit a large diversity of spectra that appear in different nano-sized regions of inhomogeneous samples. In this lett…
Detecting topological order in a ground state wave function
Michael Levin, Xiao-Gang Wen
A large class of topological orders can be understood and classified using the string-net condensation picture. These topological orders can be characterized by a set of data (N, d…
Detecting topological orders through continuous quantum phase transition
Ying Ran, Xiao-gang Wen
We study a continuous quantum phase transition that breaks a symmetry. We show that the transition is described by a new critical point which does not belong to the Ising uni…
Pseudogap, Superconducting Energy Scale, and Fermi Arcs in Underdoped Cuprate Superconductors
Hai-Hu Wen, Lei Shan, Xiao-Gang Wen +6
Through the measurements of magnetic field dependence of specific heat in in zero temperature limit, we determined the nodal slope of the quasiparticle ga…
From new states of matter to a unification of light and electrons
Xiao-Gang Wen
For a long time, people believe that all possible states of matter are described by Landau symmetry-breaking theory. Recently we find that string-net condensation provide a mechani…
Quantum ether: photons and electrons from a rotor model
Michael Levin, Xiao-Gang Wen
We give an example of a purely bosonic model -- a rotor model on the 3D cubic lattice -- whose low energy excitations behave like massless U(1) gauge bosons and massless Dirac ferm…
Quasi-adiabatic Continuation of Quantum States: The Stability of Topological Ground State Degeneracy and Emergent Gauge Invariance
M. B. Hastings, Xiao-Gang Wen
We define for quantum many-body systems a quasi-adiabatic continuation of quantum states. The continuation is valid when the Hamiltonian has a gap, or else has a sufficiently small…
Pseudogap, Superconducting Gap, and Fermi Arcs in Underdoped Cuprate Superconductors
Hai-Hu Wen, Lei Shan, Xiao-Gang Wen +6
Through the measurements of magnetic field dependence of specific heat in in zero temperature limit, we find that the nodal slope of the superconducting g…
