Superinsulators are a new topological state of matter, predicted by our collaboration and experimentally observed in the critical vicinity of the superconductor-insulator transition (SIT). Superinsulators are dual to supercon- ductors and realise electric-magnetic (S) duality. In superinsulators ,Cooper pairs are linearly bound by electric fields squeezed into strings (dual Meissner effect) by...
When Anderson localization entered the QCD landscape, it was almost immediately thought about in connection with thermal phases, namely as a factor in the chiral phase transition or crossover. However, developments over the last three years revealed an additional structure that made Anderson-like features central to the genesis and understanding of the new thermal phase: the IR phase of QCD. I...
I present a new way of understanding how chiral symmetry is realized in the
high temperature phase of QCD. I show that a simple instanton-based random
matrix model provides an excellent description of the lowest part of the
spectrum of the lattice overlap Dirac operator. Even though dynamical quarks
introduce instanton-antiinstanton interactions, the lowest part of the
spectrum,...
We discuss the properties of Quantum Chromodynamics obtained by means of lattice simulations with the overlap fermion discretisation. This fermion discretization preserves chiral symmetry even at finite lattice spacing. We present the details of the formulation, results for the chiral observables and discuss the (chiral) properties of finite temperature QCD around the phase transition.
The possible link between entanglement and thermalization, and the dynamics of hadronization are addressed by studying the real-time response of the massive Schwinger model coupled to external sources. This setup mimics the production and fragmentation of quark jets, as the Schwinger model and QCD share the properties of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. By using quantum simulations on...
Most of the condensed matter is dominated with models with quasiparticles in the form of Fermi liquid theory. However, physics becomes quite interesting where there is a lack of quasiparticles in the so-called strange metals. We will introduce the physics of non-Fermi liquids in the form of a model without quasiparticles, namely the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We will discuss its various...
