Author(s): Eduardo Barredo-Alamilla, Daniel A. Bobylev, and Maxim A. GorlachArtificial media provide a unique playground to test fundamental theories, allowing one to probe the laws of electromagnetism in the presence of hypothetical axions. While some materials are known to realize this physics, here we propose the nonlocal extension of axion electrodynamics....

Author(s): Giuseppe De Tomasi and Ivan M. KhaymovichIn this work, we investigate the localization properties of a paradigmatic model, coupled to a monitoring environment and possessing a many-body localized (MBL) phase. We focus on the postselected no-click limit with quench random rates, i.e., random gains and losses. In this limit, the system is mo…...

Author(s): Greg J. Henderson, G. J. Sreejith, and Steven H. SimonConformal field theory (CFT) has played a pivotal role in understanding the topological phases of matter represented by many fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) trial wave functions. Previous papers have shown how the topological properties of a trial wave function expressible as a CFT...

Author(s): Jingyu Li, Liuming Wei, Xianbiao Shi, Lanting Shi, Jianguo Si, Peng-Fei Liu, and Bao-Tian WangThe MoSH monolayer, one of the Janus transition metal sulfhydrates synthesized by stripping the top-layer S of MoS2 and replacing it with H atoms [Wan et al., ACS Nano 15, 20319 (2021)], has been predicted to host strong coupling two-gap superconductivity...

Author(s): Vsevolod Ivanov, Lotte Borkowski, Xiangang Wan, and Sergey Y. SavrasovHaving previously been the subject of decades of semiconductor research, cadmium arsenide (Cd3As2) has now reemerged as a topological material, realizing ideal three-dimensional Dirac points at the Fermi level. These topological Dirac points lead to a number of extraordinary...

Author(s): Nicolau Sobrosa, Miguel Gonçalves, and Eduardo V. CastroHere we study the instabilities of a quadratic band crossing system to Chern insulating states and uncorrelated disorder. We determine the phase diagram in the plane of topological mass versus disorder strength, characterizing the system with respect to the spectral, localization, and...
