 | Emergent Fermionic Strings in Bosonic He4 Crystal Speaker(s): G Baskaran
Abstract: Large zero point motion of light atoms in solid Helium 4 leads to several anomalous properties, including a supersolid type behavior. We suggest an `anisotropic quantum melted' atom density wave model for solid He4 with hcp symmetry. Here, atoms preferentially quantum melt along the c-axis and... read more

 | Unconventional Magnetism and Superconductivity in 3 Dimensional Doped Mott Insulators Speaker(s): G Baskaran
Abstract: Utilizing a variety and also
constraints offered by quantum and solid
state chemistry, we discuss
possibilities of unconventional quantum
magnetism and superconductivity
in doped 3 dimensional Mott insulators.
Some of the possibilities are
quantum spin liquid states having pseudo

 | Superradiant Superconductivity Speaker(s): G Baskaran
Abstract: In Dicke Superradiance, a collection of 2-level atoms
interacting with a single boson mode acquires, through quantum coherence, an
enhanced emission property and a rich dynamics. We suggest possibility of Dicke
superradiance in a BCS superconductor. The necessary 2-level atoms are
identifi... read more

 | Emergent Gauge Fields and their Condensation in Quantum Spin Liquids Speaker(s): G Baskaran
Abstract: Large quantum fluctuations in certain quantum spin systems destroy long range magnetic order such as antiferromagnetism. Resulting paramagnetic states are called a quantum spin liquids. These states support emergent gauge fields [1]. Under certain conditions, emergent gauge fields condense in the gr... read more

 | More is Different in the Quantum World, in its Own Way Speaker(s): G Baskaran
Abstract: In his article `More is Different', P W Anderson (1972) sensitized the physics community about importance of emergence, by using concepts such as broken symmetry, emergent hierarchical structures, constructionists converse of reductionism etc. The manifestation of complexity and hierarchy in the qua... read more

Baby Skyrmion Superconductivity in a doped Antiferromagnet K2Fe4S5 Speaker(s): G Baskaran
Abstract: Strongly correlated electron systems are play grounds for exotic quantum states such as high Tc superconductivity, quantum spin liquids, non-fermi liquids and so on. Recently high Tc superconductivity has been observed in an iron based compound K2Fe4Se5. I will present a model and outline an effecti... read more
