In order to understand the emergence of superconductivity it is useful to study the reverse
process and identify the various pathways that lead to its destruction. One way is to increase …

The control of electrons at the level of the elementary charge e was demonstrated
experimentally already in the 1980s. Ever since, the production of an electrical current ef, or …

Light harvesting, separation of charge carriers, and surface reactions are three fundamental
steps that are essential for an efficient photocatalyst. Here we show that these steps in the …

Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) are
the two extreme limits of the ground state of the paired fermion systems. We report crossover …

The most well-known example of an ordered quantum state—superconductivity—is caused
by the formation and condensation of pairs of electrons. Fundamentally, what distinguishes …

Simulating strongly correlated fermionic systems is notoriously hard on classical computers.
An alternative approach, as proposed by Feynman, is to use a quantum computer. We …

A hundred years after the discovery of superconductivity, one fundamental prediction of the
theory, coherent quantum phase slip (CQPS), has not been observed. CQPS is a …

Understanding the electron pairing in hole-doped cuprate superconductors has been a
challenge, in particular because the “normal” state from which it evolves is unprecedented …

This article reviews experimental and theoretical work on Bose-Einstein condensation in
quantum magnets. These magnets are natural realizations of gases of interacting bosons …

The interplay between disorder and superconductivity is a subtle and fascinating
phenomenon in quantum many-body physics. Conventional superconductors are insensitive …
