Revisiting flat band superconductivity: Dependence on minimal quantum metric and band touchings

KE Huhtinen, J Herzog-Arbeitman, A Chew… - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
A central result in superconductivity is that flat bands, though dispersionless, can still host a
nonzero superfluid weight due to quantum geometry. We show that the derivation of the …

The quantum geometric origin of capacitance in insulators

I Komissarov, T Holder, R Queiroz - Nature communications, 2024 - nature.com
In band insulators, without a Fermi surface, adiabatic transport can exist due to the geometry
of the ground state wavefunction. Here we show that for systems driven at a small but finite …
