• Authors: Alkistis Zervou, Dmitriy V. Efremov and Joseph J. Betouras
• Abstract summary: Topological transitions in electronic band structures can affect various types of orderings in quantum materials. We study the fate of a spin-density wave phase formed by nested parts of the Fermi surface, when a HOVHS appears in parallel. We find that the phase formation can be boosted by the presence of a singularity, with the critical temperature increasing by orders of magnitude.

• Abstract: Topological transitions in electronic band structures, resulting in van Hove singularities in the density of states, can considerably affect various types of orderings in quantum materials. Regular topological transitions (of neck formation or collapse) lead to a logarithmic divergence of the electronic density of states (DOS) as a function of energy in two-dimensions. In addition to the regular van Hove singularities, there are higher order van Hove singularities (HOVHS) with a power-law divergences in DOS. By employing renormalization group (RG) techniques, we study the fate of a spin-density wave phase formed by nested parts of the Fermi surface, when a HOVHS appears in parallel. We find that the phase formation can be boosted by the presence of the singularity, with the critical temperature increasing by orders of magnitude. We discuss possible applications of our findings to a range of quantum materials such as Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$, Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ and transition metal dichalcogenides.

  We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution.

We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  Superconductivity and charge density waves are observed in close vicinity in strongly correlated materials. We investigate the nature of such an intertwined state of matter stabilized in the phase diagram of the elementary $t$-$tprime$-$U$ Hubbard model. We provide conclusive evidence that the macroscopic wave functions of the superconducting fragments are well-described by soliton solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau equation.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

We study theoretically a one-dimensional zig-zag ladder system of such spin-orbit coupled Rydberg atoms at half filling. In a phase where strong repulsion leads to a density wave, we find that as a consequence of the induced quantum gauge field a regular pattern of current vortices is formed.

It is well-known that the transverse field Ising model shows a quantum phase transition (QPT) at zero temperature.
