QED. Since the first experimental demonstration of atomic self-ordering in a system …

Supersolid formation in a quantum gas breaking a continuous translational symmetry

J Léonard, A Morales, P Zupancic, T Esslinger… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
The concept of a supersolid state combines the crystallization of a many-body system with
dissipationless flow of the atoms from which it is built. This quantum phase requires the …

Nematic superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene

DV Chichinadze, L Classen, AV Chubukov - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS

exceptional flattening of its lowest energy bands. Superconductivity with highest T c appears …

Status of the asymptotic safety paradigm for quantum gravity and matter

A Eichhorn - Foundations of Physics, 2018 - Springer
In the asymptotic safety paradigm, a quantum field theory reaches a regime with quantum
scale invariance in the ultraviolet, which is described by an interacting fixed point of the …

Zooming in on fermions and quantum gravity

A Eichhorn, S Lippoldt, M Schiffer - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We zoom in on the microscopic dynamics for fermions and quantum gravity within the
asymptotic-safety paradigm. A key finding of our study is the unavoidable presence of a …

change drastically as some parameter controlling zero-point quantum fluctuations is tuned to …

Field-induced phase coexistence in an artificial spin ice

J Sklenar, Y Lao, A Albrecht, JD Watts, C Nisoli… - Nature Physics, 2019 - nature.com
Artificial spin-ice systems are magnetic metamaterials consisting of nanomagnet arrays that
can be designed to study exotic magnetic states not found in natural materials. Typically …

The weak-gravity bound and the need for spin in asymptotically safe matter-gravity models

GP de Brito, A Eichhorn, RRL dos Santos - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We discover a weak-gravity bound in scalar-gravity systems in the asymptotic-
safety paradigm. The weak-gravity bound arises in these systems under the approximations …
