Measurement-Induced Phase Transition for Free Fermions above One Dimension.

A theory of the measurement-induced entanglement phase transition for free-fermion models in d>1 dimensions is developed. The critical point separates a gapless phase with ℓ^{d-1}lnℓ scaling of the second cumulant of the particle number and of the entanglement entropy and an area-law phase with ℓ^{d-1} scaling, where ℓ is a size of the subsystem. The problem is mapped onto an SU(R) replica nonlinear sigma model in d+1 dimensions, with R→1.

Slow Many-Body Delocalization beyond One Dimension.

We study the delocalization dynamics of interacting disordered hard-core bosons for quasi-1D and 2D geometries, with system sizes and timescales comparable to state-of-the-art experiments. The results are strikingly similar to the 1D case, with slow, subdiffusive dynamics featuring power-law decay. From the freezing of this decay we infer the critical disorder W_{c}(L,d) as a function of length L and width d.

Giant Magnetoresistance in Carbon Nanotubes with Single-Molecule Magnets TbPc.

We present experimental results and a theoretical model for the gate-controlled spin-valve effect in carbon nanotubes with side-attached single-molecule magnets TbPc (Terbium(III) bis-phthalocyanine). These structures show a giant magnetoresistance up to 1000% in experiments on single-wall nanotubes that are tunnel-coupled to the leads. The proposed theoretical model combines the spin-dependent Fano effect with Coulomb blockade and predicts a spin-spin interaction between the TbPc molecules, mediated by conducting electrons via the charging effect.

Hanbury Brown-Twiss interference of anyons.

We present a study of a Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometer realized with anyons. Such a device can directly probe entanglement and fractional statistics of initially uncorrelated particles. We calculate Hanbury Brown-Twiss cross correlations of Abelian Laughlin anyons.

Electron-electron interaction in the magnetoresistance of graphene.

We investigate the magnetotransport in large area graphene Hall bars epitaxially grown on silicon carbide. In the intermediate field regime between weak localization and Landau quantization, the observed temperature-dependent parabolic magnetoresistivity is a manifestation of the electron-electron interaction. We can consistently describe the data with a model for diffusive (magneto)transport that also includes magnetic-field-dependent effects originating from ballistic time scales.

Quantum critical fluctuations in disordered d-wave superconductors.

To explain the strong quasiparticle damping in the cuprates, Sachdev and collaborators proposed to couple the system to a critically fluctuating id(xy)- or is-order parameter mode. Here we generalize the approach to the presence of static disorder. In the id case, the order parameter dynamics becomes diffusive, but otherwise much of the phenomenology of the clean case remains intact.
