Observing dynamical phases of BCS superconductors in a cavity QED simulator

DJ Young, A Chu, EY Song, D Barberena, D Wellnitz… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
Abstract In conventional Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer superconductors, electrons with
opposite momenta bind into Cooper pairs due to an attractive interaction mediated by …

Dissipative dynamics of a fermionic superfluid with two-body losses

G Mazza, M Schirò - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We study the dissipative dynamics of a fermionic superfluid in the presence of two-body
losses. We use a variational approach for the Lindblad dynamics and obtain dynamical …

Dynamical phase transitions in periodically driven Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer systems

HPO Collado, G Usaj, CA Balseiro, DH Zanette… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
We present a systematic study of the dynamical phase diagram of a periodically driven BCS
system as a function of drive strength and frequency. Three different driving mechanisms are …

Floquet engineering Higgs dynamics in time-periodic superconductors

T Kuhn, B Sothmann, J Cayao - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Higgs modes emerge in superconductors as collective excitations of the order-parameter
amplitude when periodically driven by electromagnetic radiation. In this work, we develop a …

Long-lived Higgs modes in strongly correlated condensates

J Lorenzana, G Seibold - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We investigate order parameter fluctuations in the Hubbard model within a time-dependent
Gutzwiller approach. While in the weak coupling limit we find that the amplitude fluctuations …

Effect of strong confinement on the order parameter dynamics in fermionic superfluids

CR Cabrera, R Henke, L Broers, J Skulte… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Fermionic pairing and the superfluid order parameter change dramatically in low-
dimensional systems such as high-T $ _c $ superconductors. Here we show how the order …

Exciting the long-lived Higgs mode in superfluid Fermi gases with particle removal

G Lyu, KT **, S Yoon, Q Chen, G Watanabe - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Experimental evidence of the Higgs mode in strongly interacting superfluid Fermi gases had
not been observed until recently [Behrle et al., Nat. Phys. 14, 781 (2018) 10.1038/s41567 …

Quench-drive spectroscopy and high-harmonic generation in BCS superconductors

M Puviani, R Haenel, D Manske - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
In pump-probe spectroscopies, THz pulses are used to quench a system, which is
subsequently probed by either a THz or optical pulse. In contrast, third-harmonic generation …
