Stripe melting and quantum criticality in correlated metals

David F. Mross, T. Senthil

We study theoretically quantum melting transitions of stripe order in a metallic environment, and the associated reconstruction of the electronic Fermi surface. We show that such quantum phase transitions can be continuous in situations where the stripe melting occurs by proliferating pairs of dislocations in the stripe order parameter without proliferating single dislocations. We develop an intuitive picture of such phases as ``stripe loop metals'' where the fluctuating stripes form closed loops of arbitrary size at long distances. We obtain a controlled critical theory of a few different continuous quantum melting transitions of stripes in metals. At such a (deconfined) critical point, the fluctuations of the stripe order parameter are strongly coupled, yet tractable. They also decouple dynamically from the Fermi surface. We calculate many universal properties of these quantum critical points. In particular, we find that the full Fermi surface and the associated Landau quasiparticles remain sharply defined at the critical point. We discuss the phenomenon of Fermi surface reconstruction across this transition and the effect of quantum critical stripe fluctuations on the superconducting instability. We study possible relevance of our results to several phenomena in the cuprates.

First-order superfluid–Mott-insulator transition for quantum-optical switching in cavity-QED arrays with two cavity modes

Kenji Kamide, Makoto Yamaguchi, T. Kimura +1 more

We theoretically investigated the ground states of coupled arrays of cavity-quantum-electrodynamical (cavity-QED) systems in the presence of two photon modes. Within the Gutzwiller-type variational approach, we found the first-order quantum phase transition between Mott-insulating and superfluid phases as well as the conventional second-order one. The first-order phase transition was found only for specific types of emitter models, and its physical origin is clarified based on the analytic arguments which are allowed in the perturbative and semiclassical limits. The first-order transition of the correlated photons is accompanied with discontinuous change in the emitter states, not only with the appearance of intercavity coherence in the superfluid phase. We also discuss the condition for the first-order transition to occur, which can lead to a strategy for future design of quantum-optical switching devices with cavity-QED arrays.
