Topological photonic transport in disordered scattering networks

Zhechen Zhang

This Ph.D. thesis unveils the unique topological phenomena occurring in such networks, focusing on the intricate interplay between their Floquet topology, the presence of disorder, and their unitary scattering at microscopic and macroscopic scales. Using t ...

Ultrafast control of emergent quantum matter probed by electron microscopy

Benoît Guilhem Michel Binh Truc

In the quest for controlling materials' properties, light as an external stimulus has a special place as it can create new states of matter and enable their ultrafast manipulation. In particular, spintronics, an exciting emergent field relying on the elect ...

Many-body physics with strongly interacting fermions coupled to light

Victor Youri Helson

This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...

Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Samuel Sanchez

Collective guidance of out-of-equilibrium systems without using external fields is a challenge of paramount importance in active matter, ranging from bacterial colonies to swarms of self-propelled particles. Designing strategies to guide active matter and ...

Out-of-equilibrium phase diagram of long-range superconductors

Within the ultimate goal of classifying universality in quantum many-body dynamics, understanding the relation between out-of-equilibrium and equilibrium criticality is a crucial objective. Models with power-law interactions exhibit rich well-understood cr ...

Light Dark Matter and Superfluid He-4 from EFT

Angelo Esposito

We study the response of a He-4 detector to the interaction of sub-GeV dark matter using an effective field theory for the superfluid. We compute the lifetime of the phonon, which agrees with what known from standard techniques, hence providing an importan ...

Superfluids, vortices and spinning charged operators in 4d CFT

Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

We include vortices in the superfluid EFT for four dimensional CFTs at large global charge. Using the state-operator correspondence, vortices are mapped to charged operators with large spin and we compute their scaling dimensions. Different regimes are ide ...

Fast and ultrafast electron microscopies for skyrmions and plasmonics

Gabriele Berruto

In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...

Sub-MeV dark matter and the Goldstone modes of superfluid helium

Angelo Esposito

We show how a relativistic effective field theory for the superfluid phase of 4 He can replace the standard methods used to compute the production rates of low-momentum excitations due to the interaction with an external probe. This is done by studying the ...

Charge transport properties of spin-orbit coupled materials in different correlation regimes

Soudabeh Sheikholharam Mashhadi

From recent advances in solid state physics, a novel material classification scheme has evolved which is based on the concept of topology and provides an understanding of different phenomena ranging from quantum transport to unusual flavors of superconduct ...
