Title: Magneto-optical Hall response in generic Weyl semimetals
Authors: Marcus St{\aa}lhammar
Abstract summary: I analytically derive a closed-form expression for the Hall conductivity of a generic Weyl semimetal using linear response theory. I study how various model parameters, including the tilt, momentum separation, and energy location of the nodes, as well as the chemical potential affect the magneto-optical conductivity.

Abstract: Weyl semimetals are predicted to host signature magneto-optical properties sourced by their peculiar Landau level structure, including the chiral level. Analytical studies are often leaving out the Hall component of the conductivity due to its complicated nature, and even though the chiral anomaly requires Weyl nodes to come in charge-conjugate pairs, toy-models hosting only one node are considered almost exclusively; numerical studies including several Weyl nodes are on the other hand often limited to high-field quantum limits or DC studies. Here, I present a twofold purpose study, where I a) analytically derive a closed-form expression also for the Hall conductivity of a generic Weyl semimetal using linear response theory, and b) apply this general framework to evaluate the transverse conductivity components for Weyl systems with two nodes. I study how various model parameters, including the tilt, momentum separation, and energy location of the nodes, as well as the chemical potential affect the magneto-optical conductivity, and complement these studies with deriving an analytical expression for the DC Hall conductivity, which is also evaluated in various systems. Including a chiral pair of nodes result two important differences compared to earlier studies; the contribution from the chiral level is equal in size but opposite at the two nodes, making the net contribution to disappear; the energy scales at which intraband transitions occur is smeared out and approaches that of interband transitions, strengthening the hypothesis that intraband transitions mask signature optical features in materials. This general formalism can be applied for a large family of generic Weyl semimetals, and comprise an important piece towards unravelling the source of the mismatch between theoretical predictions and experimental observations in candidate materials.

We develop a comprehensive framework which provides a physical picture of the origin of transmon ionization. This framework identifies the multiphoton resonances responsible for transmon ionization. It also allows one to efficiently compute numerical estimates of the photon number threshold for ionization.

We show that the well-known $(kuparrow, -kdownarrow)$ Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer interaction, when considered in real space, is equivalent to an infinite-range Penson-Kolb pairing mechanism. We investigate the dynamics of fermionic particles confined in a ring-shaped lattice.

Fragmented superconductivity in the Hubbard model as solitons in Ginzburg-Landau theory [58.720142291102135]
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 study a collective ensemble of identical multi-level anharmonic emitters and their dipolar interaction with a photonic cavity mode. The permutational properties of the system allow identifying symmetry classified submanifolds in the energy spectrum. We expect these findings to be applicable in the study of non-linear spectroscopy and chemistry of polaritons.

Fractional quantum Hall physics and higher-order momentum correlations in a few spinful fermionic contact-interacting ultracold atoms in rotating traps [0.0]
This paper provides benchmark results for $N$-body spin-unresolved, as well as spin-resolved, momentum correlations measurable in time-of-flight experiments with individual particle detection. The application of a small perturbing stirring potential induces, at the ensuing avoided crossings, formation of symmetry broken states exhibiting ordered polygonal-ring structures. Analysis of the calculated LLL wavefunction enables a two-dimensional generalization of the Girardeau one-dimensional 'fermionization' scheme, originally invoked for mapping of bosonic-type wave functions to those of spinless fermions.
