Quantum Critical Point Shifts under Superconductivity: the Pnictides and the Cuprates
(American Physical Society, 2010)We compare the position of an ordering transition in a metal to that in a superconductor. For the spin-density wave (SDW) transition, we find that the quantum critical point shifts by order \(\mid\Delta\mid\), where ... -
Quantum Critical Response at the Onset of Spin Density Wave Order in Two-dimensional Metals
(American Physical Society, 2011)We study the frequency dependence of the electron self-energy and the optical conductivity in a recently developed field theory of the spin-density-wave quantum phase transition in two-dimensional metals. We focus on the ... -
Quantum Critical States and Phase Transitions in the Presence of Non-Equilibrium Noise
(Nature Publishing Group, 2010)Quantum critical points are characterized by scale invariant correlations and correspondingly long-ranged entanglement. As such, they present fascinating examples of quantum states of matter, the study of which has been ... -
Quantum Critical Transport in Clean Graphene
(American Physical Society, 2008)We describe electrical transport in ideal single-layer graphene at zero applied gate voltage. There is a crossover from collisionless transport at frequencies larger than \((k_{B}T/\hbar\) (\(T\) is the temperature) to ... -
Quantum critical transport, duality, and M theory
(American Physical Society, 2007)We consider charge transport properties of 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories at nonzero temperature. For theories with only Abelian U(1) charges, we describe the action of particle-vortex duality on the hydrodynam ... -
Quantum Criticality
(American Institute of Physics, 2011)A phase transition brought on by quantum fluctuations at absolute zero may seem like an abstract theoretical idea of little practical consequence. But it is the key to explaining a wide variety of experiments. -
Quantum Criticality and Black Holes
(Institute of Physics, 2009)Many condensed matter experiments explore the finite temperature dynamics of systems near quantum critical points. Often, there are no well-defined quasiparticle excitations, and so quantum kinetic equations do not describe ... -
Quantum Criticality and the Phase Diagram of the Cuprates
(Elsevier, 2010)I discuss a proposed phase diagram of the cuprate superconductors as a function of temperature, carrier concentration, and a strong magnetic field perpendicular to the layers. I show how the phase diagram gives a unified ... -

Quantum Criticality of the Kagome Antiferromagnet with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interactions
(American Physical Society, 2010)We investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the nearest-neighbor kagome antiferromagnet in the presence of Dzyaloshinksii-Moriya interaction. We develop a theory for the transition between \(Z_2\) spin liquids ... -
Quantum Criticality of U(1) Gauge Theories with Fermionic and Bosonic Matter in Two Spatial Dimensions
(American Physical Society, 2008)We consider relativistic \(U(1)\) gauge theories in \(2+1\) dimensions, with \(N_b\) species of complex bosons and \(N_f\) species of Dirac fermions at finite temperature. The quantum phase transition between the Higgs and ... -
Quantum Degenerate Mixtures of Alkali and Alkaline-earth-like Atoms
(American Physical Society, 2011)We realize simultaneous quantum degeneracy in mixtures consisting of the alkali and alkalineearth-like atoms Li and Yb. This is accomplished within an optical trap by sympathetic cooling of the fermionic isotope \(^6\)Li ... -
