  • Strange Metals
    SciPost Phys. 6, 061 (2019) Planckian dissipation, minimal viscosity and the transport in cuprate strange metals Jan Zaanen The Institute Lorentz for Theoretical Physics, Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract Could it be that the matter formed from the electrons in high Tc superconductors is of a radically new kind that may be called "many body entangled compressible quantum matter"? Much of this text is intended as an easy to read tutorial, explaining recent theoretical advances that have been unfolding at the cross roads of condensed matter- and string theory, black hole physics as well as quantum information theory. These de- velopments suggest that the physics of such matter may be governed by surprisingly simple principles. My real objective is to present an experimental strategy to test criti- cally whether these principles are actually at work, revolving around the famous linear resistivity characterizing the strange metal phase. The theory suggests a very simple explanation of this "unreasonably simple" behavior that is actually directly linked to re- markable results from the study of the quark gluon plasma formed at the heavy ion colliders: the "fast hydrodynamization" and the "minimal viscosity". This leads to high quality predictions for experiment: the momentum relaxation rate governing the resis- tivity relates directly to the electronic entropy, while at low temperatures the electron fluid should become unviscous to a degree that turbulent flows can develop even on the nanometre scale.

  • Curriculum Vitae Robert-Jan Slager
    CURRICULUM VITAE ROBERT-JAN SLAGER Postdoctoral fellow Email: [email protected] Harvard University Website: scholar.harvard.edu/robertjanslager 17 Oxford Street, 02138 Cambridge, MA, USA INFORMATION Citation statistics: over 800 total citations, h-index: 13 (Google scholar) Date of birth: March 24th 1988 Nationality: Dutch RESEARCH INTERESTS My research interests revolve around theoretical condensed matter physics with a particular emphasis on topological phases of matter. To attack problems I rely on tailor-designed strategies that involve both analytical and numerical studies. Relevant keywords describing my work include: Topological insulators, zero-mode physics, monodromy defects, spin-charge separa- tion, solitons, topological classification of order, Green's function formalism, lattice gauge theory, Non-Abelian discrete gauge theories, impurity problems and spinon hybridization problems, crys- talline protected topological phases. Nonetheless, I think that in modern science a broad and sometimes even interdisciplinary area of research, in addition to a specific long-term subject of focus, is a prerequisite. In this regard I have also worked on quantum nematic phases as well as quantum criticality and try to maintain an active and open view. More recently, I have also become interested in Floquet states, magnetism and tensor network approaches. In particular, I am currently pursuing studies to identify new topological phases of matter in the context of out of equilibrium systems, such as Floquet systems and magnon spectra.

  • Lt25 Final Report
    LT25 FINAL REPORT Venue and program The 25th International Conference on Low Temperature Physics (LT25) was hosted by the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratorium of the Leiden Institute of Physics and held in the RAI Convention Center in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 6-13 August 2008. It was the second time that the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory had the privilege of organizing an LT conference. In 1958, at LT6, 50 years of liquid helium temperatures were commemorated; in 2008 we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the remarkable achievements of Heike Kamerlingh Onnes and his collaborators in Leiden. In 1958 there were 323 participants. In 2008 we registered 1390 people. This large participation required adequate conference and housing facilities. These could not be found in Leiden, but were conveniently available in Amsterdam. The triennial International Low Temperature Conferences are the most important global meetings that bring together the international scientific community in the broad field of Low Temperature Physics. Because the meeting is held only every third year the plenary and half plenary talks generally provided an overview of important new discoveries over the last few years, whereas the short oral presentations are mainly focused on very recent developments. Since the field is broad, embracing a large section of condensed matter physics, the program is divided into five parallel program lines: A. Quantum Gases, Fluids and Solids, B. Superconductivity, C. Quantum Phase Transitions and Magnetism, D. Electronic Quantum Transport in Condensed Matter, E. Cryogenic Techniques and Applications. Each program line had its own program committee headed by a program director. The scientific program included 194 oral and 1479 poster presentations.

  • Quantum Criticality, Superconductivity and the Ads/CFT Correspondence
    Quantum Criticality, Superconductivity and the AdS/CFT Correspondence Jan Zaanen* Instituut-Lorentz for Theoretical Physics, Leiden University, The Netherlands * Email of Presenting Author: [email protected] Abstract The understanding of non-Fermi liquids and their habit to turn into superconductors is severely hampered by the inability to describe systems of strongly interacting fermions with the methods of quantum field theory. Remarkably, the AdS/CFT duality of string theory might be the magic bullit. This dualizes the physics of strongly interacting quantum matter into (semi) classical gravitational physics where typically the phenomenological, highly emergent properties of the former are in correspondence with generic properties of special black holes. The highlight is the “AdS2 metal”, a non-Fermi-liquid state characterized by local quantum criticality and algebraic pseudogap behavior, dual to a charged black hole [1]. Fermi-liquids are found as instabilities of such metals [2], but also “holographic superconductors” via a mechanism which is a generalization of BCS. This can be tested in the laboratory through a measurement of the pair susceptibility exploiting the second order Jospehson effect [3]. Very recently we discovered that the AdS2 metal reacts in a peculiar way to static periodic potentials [4]: this has a fascinating resemblance to the “nodal- antinodal dichotomy” puzzle in underdoped cuprates.

    A country of colourful variety Samples of excellent academic research in the Netherlands Preface This book offers a selection of outstanding academic research. Grouped into 21 thematic research As the familiar warning in the fine print of financial institutions attests: ‘past performance is areas, the collection of case studies highlights the leading edge work of research groups and no guarantee of future results’. The same holds true of the snapshot this book presents. The programmes across the breadth of universities in the Netherlands. It is a work in progress – super lative research currently being performed traces its roots back to investments in people ongoing research that builds on the solid foundations laid over the preceding decades, and facilities made years ago. We would like to maintain that standard in the future. Achieving which the univer sities are maintaining and developing further. that goal will require renewed investment in people and facilities – and they need to be comparable to the investments being made by our international competitors. We are far from There are good reasons for the support of world class research. This is the best way for modern confident that this is the case. Time after time, the Netherlands has been shown to lag behind societies to progress and compete in the global economic markets. The Netherlands should be the leading countries in Europe. If we seriously want to fulfil our ambitions, this development at the forefront of these developments. It is in everyone’s best interest. The universities train is taking us in the wrong direction. The figures at the back of this book show plainly where we the scientists and researchers of the future.

  • Holographic Duality in Condensed Matter Physics Jan Zaanen, Ya-Wen Sun, Yan Liu and Koenraad Schalm Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-08008-9 - Holographic Duality in Condensed Matter Physics Jan Zaanen, Ya-Wen Sun, Yan Liu and Koenraad Schalm Frontmatter More information HOLOGRAPHIC DUALITY IN CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS This pioneering treatise presents how the new mathematical techniques of holographic duality unify seemingly unrelated fields of physics. Morphing quantum field theory, gen- eral relativity and the renormalisation group into a single computational framework, this book is the first to bring together a wide range of research in this rapidly developing field. Set within the context of condensed matter physics and using boxes highlighting the spe- cific techniques required, it examines the holographic description of thermal properties of matter, Fermi liquids and superconductors, and hitherto unknown forms of macroscopically entangled quantum matter in terms of general relativity, stars and black holes. Showing that holographic duality can succeed where classic mathematical approaches fail, this text provides a thorough overview of this major breakthrough at the heart of mod- ern physics. The inclusion of extensive introductory material using non-technical language and online Mathematica notebooks ensures the appeal to students and researchers alike. JAN ZAANENis Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Instituut-Lorentz for Theoretical Physics, Leiden University, the Netherlands where he specialises in the physics of strongly interacting electrons. He is a recipient of the Dutch Spinoza Award and fellow of the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society.
