SUMMARY:Seminar - Prof. Andrei Derevianko - University of Nevada\, Reno
DESCRIPTION:Searches for dark matter and exotic astrophysics with networks of quantum sensors.\nAs precision quantum sensors  become ubiquitous\, it is natural to combine them into networks. \nI will focus on searches for exotic physics signals with networks of quantum sensors. Most of my work \nis related to atomic clocks and I will give a general introduction to atomic clocks. Then I will describe our search for clumpy dark \nmatter using 20 years of archival atomic clock data from GPS satellites. In the second part\, I will cover searches for wavy and stochastic \nultralight dark matter. Finally\, I will present our proposal for a search for exotic physics signals correlated with LIGO-detected gravitational \nwaves\, which may provide the first experimental signature of quantum gravity in black-hole mergers. \nGroup website \nPublications \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom Link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/65402409218\nZoom ID: 654 0240 9218\nDate: Tuesday\, Oct 12\nTime: 5pm CEST/9am Pacific time

SUMMARY:Seminar - Glenn Wagner - Oxford University
DESCRIPTION:Kekule spiral order in twisted bilayer graphene\n\nTwisted bilayer graphene has attracted a lot of attention due to the presence of correlated insulators proximate to superconductivity. In this talk I will present a new proposal for the nature of the correlated insulators. This order\, which we dub the ‘incommensurate Kekule spiral’ (IKS) order\, spontaneously breaks both the emergent valley-charge conservation and moire translation symmetries. The IKS state emerges as the ground state in detailed self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculations at any non-zero integer filling of the moire unit cell. I will discuss the phenomenological and microscopic properties of this order and argue that our findings are consistent with all experimental observations reported so far\, suggesting a unified explanation of the global phase diagram of twisted bilayer graphene in terms of the IKS order.\n\n\n\nZoom Link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/63336816369\nZoom ID: 633 3681 6369\nDate: Tuesday\, Aug 17\nTime: 4pm Stockholm time

SUMMARY:Seminar - Prof. Björn Trauzettel - University of Würzburg
DESCRIPTION:Direct detection of odd-frequency superconductivity\nOdd-frequency superconductivity is a dynamical phenomenon. The time-dependence of the anomalous Green function matters. Therefore\, a dynamical response is needed to directly detect odd-frequency superconductivity. We propose a novel type of detection scheme based on two-pulse\, time-resolved ARPES noise measurements. Remarkably\, the experimental response is directly proportional to the anomalous Green function at unequal times. \n\nZoom Link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/69314760347\nZoom ID: 693 1476 0347\nDate: Tuesday\, May 25\nTime: 4pm Stockholm time

SUMMARY:Seminar - Prof. Akito Daido - Kyoto University
DESCRIPTION:Spectral bulk-boundary correspondence of odd-frequency Cooper pairs\nSurface physics dominated by the bulk properties is attracting much attention. For example\, bulk-boundary correspondence predicts topological surface states. Another important context where surface properties are determined by the bulk is the electric polarization: surface electric charge is the bulk property modulo a quantum [1]. This fact might be regarded as a kind of BBC\, in the sense that physical quantity apparently sensitive to the surface properties is determined by the bulk. It is an interesting question whether other physical quantities satisfy this “BBC”.\nRecently\, Tamura et al. proposed by numerics that surface accumulation of odd-frequency Cooper pairs is the bulk property[2]. They named this relation “spectral bulk-boundary correspondence (SBBC)”. SBBC is an interesting relation\, but formal proof and physical explanation have been lacking. \nIn this work\, we prove SBBC based on the analogy with electric polarization: SBBC can be regarded as the polarization of the chirality. We discuss the similarities and differences between electric and chirality polarizations. \n[1] D. Vanderbilt and R. D. King-Smith\, Phys. Rev. B 48\, 4442 (1993).\n[2] S. Tamura\, S.

SUMMARY:Seminar - Prof. Philip Phillips - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION:Beyond BCS: An Exact Model for Superconductivity and Mottness\nHigh-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates remains an unsolved problem because the cuprates start off their lives as Mott insulators in which no organizing principle such a Fermi surface can be invoked to treat  the electron interactions.  Consequently\, it would be advantageous to solve even a toy model that exhibits both Mottness and superconductivity.  Part of the problem is that the basic model for a Mott insulator\, namely the Hubbard model is unsolvable in any dimension we really care about.  To address this problem\, I will start by focusing on the overlooked Z_2 emergent symmetry of a Fermi surface first noted by Anderson and Haldane. Noting that Mott insulators break this emergent symmetry\, I show that the simplest model that suffices to describe Mottness is the Hatsugai-Kohmoto model. This model will then be solved exactly to reveal how superconductivity emerges in a doped Mott insulator\, thereby forming a new paradigm for superconductivity in the copper-oxide superconductors. \n[1] P.

SUMMARY:Seminar - Jason T. Haraldson - University of North Florida
DESCRIPTION:Examining multi-band effects on the electronic compressibility of a 2D electron gas: Insights into the negative compressibility of LAO/STO \nIn this study\, we investigate the consequences of two electronic bands at the negative electronic compressibility (NEC) cross-over point for a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) using a simple homogeneous model with Coulombic interactions and first-order multi-band coupling. We examine the role of effective mass and relative permittivity in relation to the critical carrier density at the cross-over point through a comparison of one- and two-band models. In general\, it is shown that the population of a second band\, along with the presence of inter-band coupling\, can dramatically change the cross-over carrier density. Given the difficulty in determining and confirming multi-band electronic systems\, this model provides a potential method for identifying multi-band electronic systems using precise bulk electronic properties measurements. To help illustrate this method\, we apply our results to the observed NEC in the 2D electron gas at the interface of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) and determine that\, for the known parameters of LAO/STO\, the system is likely a realization of a two-band 2D electron gas. Furthermore\, we provide general limits on the inter-band coupling with respect to the electronic band population. \n\nZoom Link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/67773156040 \nZoom ID: 627 5910 9592\n\nDate: Wednesday\, Feb 03\n\nTime: 5pm Stockholm time

SUMMARY:Peter Litttlewood -  Dynamical phase transitions at many body exceptional point 
DESCRIPTION:Seminar  – Peter Litttlewood –  Dynamical phase transitions at many body exceptional point\n  \n\nZoom Link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/67773156040 \nZoom ID: 677 7315 6040\n\nDate: Tuesday Dec 8\n\nTime: 4pm Stockholm time\nAbstract:\nMichel Fruchart\, Ryo Hanai\, Peter Littlewood\, and Vincenzo Vitelli \nSpontaneous synchronization is at the core of many natural phenomena. Your heartbeat is maintained because cells contract in a synchronous wave; some bird species synchronize their motion into flocks; quantum synchronization is responsible for laser action and superconductivity. The transition to synchrony\, or between states of different patterns of synchrony\, is a dynamical phase transition that has much in common with conventional phase transitions of state – for example solid to liquid\, or magnetism – but the striking feature of driven dynamical systems is that the components are “active”. Consequently quantum systems with dissipation and decay are described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians\, and active matter can abandon Newton’s third law and have non-reciprocal interactions. This substantially changes the character of many-degree-of-freedom dynamical phase transitions and the critical phenomena in their vicinity\, since the critical point is an “exceptional point” where eigenvalues become degenerate and eigenvectors coalesce. We will illustrate this in several different systems – a Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons\, models of multicomponent active matter such as flocks of birds\, generalised Kuramoto models\, and others. We argue that there is a systematic theory\, generalized phase diagram\, and corresponding universality classes for these dynamical systems.\n\n\n\nFruchart et al.\, arXiv:2003.13176 \nHanai et al.\, 10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.185301

SUMMARY:Sang Wook Cheong (Rutgers) - Trompe L'oeil Ferromagnetism
DESCRIPTION: \nSang Wook Cheong (Rutgers) – Trompe L’oeil Ferromagnetism \n\nZoom Link: kth-se.zoom.us/j/61226950287 \nZoom ID: 612 2695 0287\nDate: Monday Nov 30\nTime: 17.30 Stockholm time\nTitle: Trompe L’oeil Ferromagnetism\nAbstract: The characteristics of ferro-(ferri)magnetism with non-zero magnetization include magnetic attraction\, magnetic circular dichroism\, and magneto-optical Kerr (MOKE)\, Faraday\, and various anomalous Hall-type (Hall\, Ettingshausen\, Nernst\, and thermal Hall) effects. Non-magnetic or antiferromagnetic materials in external electric fields or other environments (called specimen constituents) can share symmetry operational similarity (SOS) with magnetization in relation to broken symmetries. These specimen constituents can be associated with non-zero magnetization and/or show ferromagnetism-like behaviors\, so we say that they exhibit Trompe L’oeil Ferromagnetism. Examples include linear magnetoelectric materials such as Cr2O3 under electric fields\, Faraday effect in chiral materials such as tellurium with current flow\, magnetic field induced by the motion of Neel- or Bloch-type ferroelectric walls\, and magneto-optical Kerr (MOKE)\, Faraday effect\, and/or anomalous Hall-type effects in certain antiferromagnets such as Cr2O3\, MnPSe3\, Mn4(Nb\,Ta)2O9\, and Mn3(Sn\,Ge\,Ga). A large number of new specimen constitutes having SOS with Magnetization will be discussed\, and require future experimental verification of their ferromagnetism-like behaviors\, and also theoretical understanding of possible microscopic mechanisms

SUMMARY:Demitry Farfurnik (University of Maryland) - Coherence of Quantum Dots
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Demitry Farfurnik (University of Maryland)\n(https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ebOgrf0AAAAJ&hl=en)\n\nLocation and time:  Online @ 4pm Stockholm time\n\nZoom Link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/61809414846\nMeeting ID: 618 0941 4846\nAbstract: \n\n\nSelf-assembled Quantum Dots (QD) exhibit some of the best single photon emission properties\, including nearly ideal efficiency and indistinguishability. As such\, and considering their compatibility with nanofabrication techniques\, on-chip integration of QDs as single photon emitters and non-linear components plays a key role in integrated photonic-based information processing and may pave the way toward the creation of quantum networks. Manipulating and storing quantum information utilizing QD spins\, however\, is limited by their short coherence times originating from interactions with a nuclear bath. In this talk\, I will describe our approaches for addressing this challenge: First\, the application of dynamical decoupling (DD) pulse sequences prolongs the coherence times by decoupling the QD spins from the environment. While the performance of such protocols is often limited by the accumulation of pulse imperfections\, arbitrary spin control enabling composite and concatenated sequencing could further enhance the achievable spin control fidelities [1]. Such a sequencing is implementable by driving a Lambda system of the QD utilizing an optical signal arbitrarily modulated by a temperature-stabilized electro optical modulator (EOM). I will present a recent experimental demonstration of such a control [2]\, our analysis for optimizing the EOM working point for enhancing the achievable optical rotation Rabi frequencies\, as well as the efficiency of the protocol for QDs strongly coupled to L3 photonic crystal cavities. Second\, the resulting coherence properties may be further enhanced by utilizing molecules of coupled QDs (QDM)\, which offer a singlet-triplet ground state decoherence-free subspace [3]. Beyond the promising combination of such a subspace with the application of DD sequences\, leveraging the isolated optical transitions of the QDM may offer single-shot spin readout capabilities. I will present our approach for implementing such a spin readout incorporating microwave pi-pulses\, its experimental feasibility utilizing optimally designed transmission lines\, and the expected readout fidelities based on the achievable microwave Rabi frequencies [4]. \n[1] D.

SUMMARY:[CMT] Xiao-Jia Chen - Discovery of Superconductivity in Phenyl Molecules
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Xiao-Jia Chen (Center for High-Pressure Science & Technology Advanced Research)\n \nTitle: Discovery of superconductivity in phenyl molecules\n \nTime: Wednesday 6th of November\, Fika 10:30-11:00 \, Seminar 11:00-12:00\, \n \nPlace: Nordita South\, room 112:028 .\n\nAbstract:\nOrganic compounds are always promising candidates of superconductors with high transition temperatures Tc’s. In this talk\, we will first talk about our recent discovery of superconductivity with Tc’s as high as 123 K in polyparaphenylene oligomers. Then we will show the experimental realization of superconductivity in other phenyl molecules such as organometallic compounds or compounds only containing C\, H\, and N. The evidence of the appearance of superconductivity is provided by the observations of the measurements of the dc and ac magnetic susceptibility and resistivity measurements together with the opening of superconducting gap detected from Raman spectroscopy. The obtained superconducting parameters classify these phenyl molecules as type-II superconductors. The benzene ring is identified to be the essential superconducting unit in such phenyl compounds. The superconducting phases and their composition are determined by the combined studies of the X-ray diffraction and theoretical calculations as well as the Raman spectroscopy measurements. The easy processability\, light weight\, durability of plastics\, and environmental friendliness of these new phenyl superconductors have great potential for the fine-tuning of electrical properties. This discovery opens a window for exploring superconductivity in phenyl molecules.\n

SUMMARY:[CMT Seminar] Adrian Kantian/ Gunnar Bollmark - 1D electrons coupled to reservoirs: towards new systems of correlated quantum matter and novel devices
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adrian Kantian and Gunnar Bollmark (Uppsala University)\n \nTitle: 1-D electrons coupled to reservoirs: towards new systems of correlated quantum matter and novel devices.\n \nTime:  Wednesday\, 2nd of October\, Fika 10:30-11:00 \, Seminar 11:00-12:00\, \n \nPlace: Nordita South\, room 112:028 .\n\nAbstract:\nCorrelated electrons are at the forefront of condensed matter theory. Interacting quasi-1D electrons have seen vast progress in analytical and numerical theory\, and thus in fundamental understanding and quantitative prediction. Yet\, in the 1D limit fluctuations preclude important technological use\, particularly of superconductors. In contrast\, high-Tc superconductors in 2D/3D are not precluded by fluctuations\, but lack a fundamental theory\, making prediction and engineering of their properties very difficult. In this talk we will present  work in progress on combining the advantages of 1D systems with those of higher-dimensional ones\, by advancing the theory of quasi-1D electrons coupled to an electron bath. We will focus on two aspects in particular:  (1) How to enable a new state of matter\, 1D electrons with true superconducting order\, by using fluctuations from a coherent electronic reservoir. (2) A new approach for the deliberate engineering of superconducting systems with properties computable\, and thus optimisable\, ab-initio\, i.e. from their microscopic properties. The use of hard-core bosons at this first stage allows us to rigorously validate our approach\, which yields insight into the physics of dimensional crossover in strongly correlated many-body systems.\n

SUMMARY:[CMT Seminar] Adrien Bouhon - Weyl nodes with non-Abelian charges
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adrien Bouhon from Nordita\n \nTitle: Weyl nodes with non-Abelian charges\n \nTime:  Tuesday\n17th of September\, Fika 10:30-11:00\, Seminar 11:00-12:00\, \n \nPlace: Nordita South\, room 112:028 .\n\nAbstract:\nWeyl points trapped within a C_2T-symmetric plane (C2 = 180 degrees rotation\, and T = time reversal) possess non-Abelian topological charges on top of their chirality. E.g. three-level systems realize the quaternion group. This picture requires to go beyond the modeling of a band structure as a Grassmannian (where a single spectral gap is specified). The non-Abelian nature of Weyl points implies new types of obstruction\, where\, for instance\, two Weyl points with opposite chiralities may not annihilate. Also\, the non-Abelian charges can be converted through the braiding of Weyl points in momentum space. \n \nI will review three different yet equivalent ways of computing the non-Abelian charges: (i) as a non-cyclic phase defined from the parallel transport of the Hamiltonian along a base loop\, (ii) as the Euler class of a two-band subspace over a patch bounded by the base loop\, and (iii) as the winding number of the Pfaffian of the Wilsonnian Hamiltonian – of the two-band subspace – as the base loop flows over the patch.  \n \n[Remark: 50% of the material I will present is new as compared to the talk I gave at the Nordita workshop in beginning of August.]
