Salam Distinguished Lectures 2014: "Theory of Quantum Matter: from Quantum Fields to Strings"
27 January 2014
- 30 January 2014
Abstract: The quasiparticle concept is the foundation of our understanding of the dynamics of many-body quantum systems. It originated in the theory of metals, which have electron-like quasiparticles; but it is also useful in more exotic states like those found in fractional quantum Hall systems. H...

Recent experiments on Coulomb drag in the quantum Hall regime have yielded a number of surprises. The most striking observations are that the Coulomb drag can become negative in high Landau levels and that its temperature dependence is non-monotonous. We develop a systematic diagrammatic theory of C...

- 17 March 2005
We examine the effects of electron-electron interactions on transport between edge states in a multilayer integer quantum Hall system. The edge states of such a system, coupled by interlayer tunneling, form a two-dimensional, chiral metal at the sample surface. We calculate the temperature-dependent...

We study the effect of Coulomb interactions on the conductance of a single-mode quantum wire connecting two bulk leads. When the density of electrons in the wire is very low, they arrange in a finite-length Wigner crystal. In this regime the electron spins form an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain ...

The system of interacting spinless fermions hopping on a two-leg ladder in the presence of an external magnetic field is shown to possess a long range order: the bond density wave or the staggered flux phase. The latter is only possible in the presence of the field, even though the field is uniform....

According to standard textbooks on thermodynamics, first-order phase transitions occur abruptly at given values of external control parameters such as temperature, pressure, stress, or applied field (magnetic or electric). In ferroic materials, however, these transitions rarely show such an ideal be...

A quantized Hall effect that is observed at a Landau filling of nu=5/2 is believed to be well explained by the Moore-Read Pfaffian state, whose excitations obey non-abelian statistics. In this work, carried out with Eytan Grosfeld, we study electronic transport at a Landau filling that slightly devi...

We describe the Riemann-Hilbert (RH) approach to computing the long-time response of a Fermi gas to a time-dependent perturbation. The approach maps the problem onto a non-commuting RH problem. The method is non-perturbative, quite general and can be used to compute the Fermi gas response in drive...

02 August 2004
- 02 August 2004
We investigate the onset of chaotic dynamics of the one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLSE) with periodic boundary conditions in the presence of a single on-site defect. This model describes a ring of weakly-stochasticity in three different scenarios. We make use of a suitab...
