Quantum phase transition: ground states on either side of gc have distinct “order”

T Quantum-critical

• Critical excitations control dynamics in the wide quantum-critical region at non-zero temperatures.

Important property of ground state at g=gc : temporal and spatial scale invariance; characteristic energy scale at other values of g:

• Theory for a quantum system with strong correlations: describe phases on either side of gc by expanding in deviation from the quantum critical point.

• Critical point is a novel state of matter without quasiparticle excitations

There is an energy gap and the ground state has a bond order wave.

Conclusions: Phase transitions of BCS superconductors

Examined general theory of all possible candidates for zero momentum, spin-singlet order parameters which can induce a

second-order quantum phase transitions in a d-wave superconductor

Only cases

have renormalization group fixed points with a non-zero interaction strength between the bosonic order parameter mode and the nodal fermions, and so are candidates for

producing damping ~ kBT of nodal fermions.

Superconductivity in a doped Mott insulator

Hypothesis: cuprate superconductors have low energy excitations associated with additional order parameters

Theory and experiments indicate that the most likely candidates are spin density waves and associated

“charge” order

Superconductivity can be suppressed globally by a strong magnetic field or large current flow.

Competing orders are also revealed when superconductivity is suppressed locally, near impurities or around vortices.

Infinite diamagnetic susceptibility of non-criticalsuperconductivity leads to a strong effect.

• All effects are ~ H2 except those associated with H induced superflow.

Theoretical modeling shows that this spectrum is best obtained by a modulation of bond variables, such as the exchange, kinetic or pairing energies.

ConclusionsI. Cuprate superconductivity is associated with doping

Mott insulators with charge carriers

II. The correct paramagnetic Mott insulator has bond-order and confinement of spinons

III. Mott insulator reveals itself vortices and near impurities. Predicted effects seen recently in STM and NMR experiments.

IV. Semi-quantitative predictions for neutron scattering measurements of spin-density-wave order in superconductors; theory also establishes connection to STM experiments.

V. Future experiments should search for SC+SDW to SC quantum transition driven by a magnetic field.

VI. Major open question: how does understanding of low temperature order parameters help explain anomalous behavior at high temperatures ?
