Time-reversal symmetry breaking in superconductors through loop Josephson-current order
We propose a superconducting instability where loop Josephson-currents form spontaneously within a unit cell at the critical temperature, Tc. Such currents break time-reversal symmetry (TRS) … Read more
Can Topological Transitions be Exploited to Engineer Intrinsically Quench-resistant Wires?
Philip Whittlesea, Jorge Quintanilla, James F. Annett, Adrian D. Hillier, Chris Hooley (Submitted on 7 Dec 2017 (v1), last revised 5 Jan 2018 (this version, … Read more
Hunt for mysterious quantum transition turns to tiny magnets
In a recently-published paper we propose a way to detect an elusive phenomenon that could be exploited in future quantum computers by scattering neutrons off … Read more
Control of entanglement transitions in quantum spin clusters
Our recent work on the entanglement transition in cluster magnets has now been accepted for publication in Physical review B. It is currently in press. … Read more
Experimental implications of the entanglement transition in clustered quantum materials
For about 15 years, there has been an explosion of interest in the application of concepts derived from quantum information theory to condensed matter systems. … Read more
