Electrodynamics of Quantum-Critical Conductors and Superconductors
This thesis presents and discusses recent optical low-temperature experiments on disordered NbN, granular Al thin-films, and the heavy-fermion compound CeCoIn5, offering a unified picture of quantum-critical superconductivity. It provides a concise introduction to the respective theoretical models employed to interpret the experimental results, and guides readers through in-depth calculations supplemented with supportive figures in order to both retrace the interpretations and span the bridge between experiment and state-of-the art theory.
Physics of Spin-Orbit-Coupled Oxides
This book is aimed at graduate students, post docs and senior researchers with preliminary expertise in materials physics or chemistry, and with an interest in the physical and chemical properties of 4d- and 5d transition metal oxides, especially ruthenates and iridates. The 4d- and 5d-transition metal oxides are among the most current and interesting quantum materials. This book reviews recent experimental and theoretical evidence that the physical and structural properties of these materials are decisively influenced by strong spin-orbit interactions that compete with comparable Coulomb, magnetic exchange and crystalline electric field interactions. This competition often leads to unusual ...
Strongly Correlated Systems
The volume presents, for the very first time, an exhaustive collection of those modern theoretical methods specifically tailored for the analysis of Strongly Correlated Systems. Many novel materials, with functional properties emerging from macroscopic quantum behaviors at the frontier of modern research in physics, chemistry and materials science, belong to this class of systems. Any technique is presented in great detail by its own inventor or by one of the world-wide recognized main contributors. The exposition has a clear pedagogical cut and fully reports on the most relevant case study where the specific technique showed to be very successful in describing and enlightening the puzzling physics of a particular strongly correlated system. The book is intended for advanced graduate students and post-docs in the field as textbook and/or main reference, but also for other researchers in the field who appreciates consulting a single, but comprehensive, source or wishes to get acquainted, in a as painless as possible way, with the working details of a specific technique.
Quantum Monte Carlo Methods In Condensed Matter Physics
This book reviews recent developments of quantum Monte Carlo methods and some remarkable applications to interacting quantum spin systems and strongly correlated electron systems. It contains twenty-two papers by thirty authors. Some of the features are as follows. The first paper gives the foundations of the standard quantum Monte Carlo method, including some recent results on higher-order decompositions of exponential operators and ordered exponentials. The second paper presents a general review of quantum Monte Carlo methods used in the present book. One of the most challenging problems in the field of quantum Monte Carlo techniques, the negative-sign problem, is also discussed and new me...
I, The Jury
When a small-town boy makes a journey from Mahua to Mumbai to chase his dreams, it results in a life that will grip and motivate all who learn about it. After years of struggle, Divyakant Mehta established himself as a noted lawyer in Mumbai. Today, he is counted as one of the top legal brains in the world of the Rent Act. In this no-holds-barred autobiography, he presents his life experiences, from his childhood in Mahua right up to his life in Mumbai now. He shares nuggets from a life spent in court, with details of landmark cases, experiences with legal luminaries, and humorous courtroom incidents. He also suggests measures to alleviate the current situation in the Small Causes Court, as well as guidelines for up-and-coming advocates. Incisive, thought-provoking, and entertaining, this revealing memoir makes for compelling reading, not only for young advocates but also for those interested in what transpires in courtrooms and even the lay reader.
A Mind Over Matter
A Mind Over Matter is a biography of the Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist, Philip W. Anderson. Anderson is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and influential physicists of the second half of the twentieth century. Unlike the physicists who appear on television or write popular books, Anderson studied the physics of the very many, i.e., the science of how vast numbers of atoms conspire together to create everything from liquid water to sparkling diamonds, and from semiconductors (essential for cell phones and computers) to superconductors (essential for MRI machines). More than any other single person, Anderson transformed the patchwork field of solid-state physics into the intellectually coherent discipline now called condensed matter physics. He developed important concepts that transcended physics, and influenced the scientifically literate public through his essays and articles. Book jacket.
Quantum Simulations Of Condensed Matter Phenomena - International Workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to present and exchange information on rapidly growing areas in physics and chemistry where quantum simulation techniques are being developed and applied to the study of a variety of condensed matter phenomena. These techniques include, but are not limited to zero and finite temperature many-electron Monte Carlo methods, quantum spin systems techniques, variational and Green's function Monte Carlo methods, exact diagonalization studies of small clusters, and studies of real-time quantum dynamics by path-integral and related approaches.
Quantum Theory and Symmetries
This volume of the CRM Conference Series is based on a carefully refereed selection of contributions presented at the "11th International Symposium on Quantum Theory and Symmetries", held in Montreal, Canada from July 1-5, 2019. The main objective of the meeting was to share and make accessible new research and recent results in several branches of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, including Algebraic Methods, Condensed Matter Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation, Integrability, Non-perturbative Quantum Field Theory, Particle Physics, Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Theory, and String/ADS-CFT. There was also a special session in honour of Decio Levi. The volume is divided into sections corresponding to the sessions held during the symposium, allowing the reader to appreciate both the homogeneity and the diversity of mathematical tools that have been applied in these subject areas. Several of the plenary speakers, who are internationally recognized experts in their fields, have contributed reviews of the main topics to complement the original contributions. .
Effective Models for Low-Dimensional Strongly Correlated Systems
These proceedings cover the most recent developments in the fields of high temperature superconductivity, magnetic materials and cold atoms in traps. Special emphasis is given to recently developed numerical and analytical methods, such as effective model Hamiltonians, density matrix renormalization group as well as quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Several of the contributions are written by the pioneers of these methods.
