متن کاملQuantum criticality
classified as the study of quantum matter. The aim is to describe the phases of large numbers of interacting particles at temperatures low enough that quantum mechanics plays a crucial role in determining the system’s distinguishing characteristics. For electrons in solids, the needed “low” temperatures can be even higher than room temperature. Gases of trapped atoms require ultracold temperatu...
متن کاملHeavy fermion quantum criticality.
During the last few years, investigations of rare-earth materials have made clear that heavy fermion quantum criticality exhibits novel physics not fully understood. In this work, we write for the first time the effective action describing the low energy physics of the system. The f fermions are replaced by a dynamical scalar field whose nonzero expected value corresponds to the heavy fermion p...
متن کاملMembranes at Quantum Criticality
We propose a quantum theory of membranes designed such that the ground-state wavefunction of the membrane with compact spatial topology Σh reproduces the partition function of the bosonic string on worldsheet Σh. The construction involves worldvolume matter at quantum criticality, described in the simplest case by Lifshitz scalars with dynamical critical exponent z = 2. This matter system must ...
متن کاملQuantum magnetism and criticality
Magnetic insulators have proved to be fertile ground for studying new types of quantum many body states, and I survey recent experimental and theoretical examples. The insights and methods transfer also to novel superconducting and metallic states. Of particular interest are critical quantum states, sometimes found at quantum phase transitions, which have gapless excitations with no particleor ...
