Summary: In this study, we investigate the physics of projected d-wave pairing states using their fermionic projected entangled pair state (fPEPS) representation. We approximate a d-wave Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer state using the Gaussian fPEPS and implement the Gutzwiller projection to remove double occupancy. The tensor network representation allows us to evaluate physical quantities without the Gutzwiller approximation and shows competitive energies for the doped t -J model.

Summary: This study investigates the contribution of electron-spin-fluctuation coupling to the superconducting state in a two-dimensional Hubbard model using the dynamical cluster approximation. The findings suggest that only about half of the superconductivity can be attributed to the pairing mechanism involving spin fluctuations as pairing bosons in the standard one-loop theory.

Summary: The study reveals new properties of the quantum spin Hall insulating state, paving the way for superconductivity through the condensation of skyrmions. Through simulations, it is confirmed that there is a direct transition between the quantum spin Hall insulator and an s-wave superconductor, with the ability to analyze dopings away from half-filling. This route to superconductivity has been proposed in the realm of twisted bilayer graphene.

Summary: The sign problem is a fundamental limitation in simulations of strongly correlated matter. In this study, the quantitive connection between the sign problem in determinant quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) and quantum critical behavior is demonstrated through simulations of several well-understood models. A reinterpretation of the low average sign in the Hubbard model is proposed, relating it to the onset of pseudogap behavior and exotic superconductivity.

Summary: The symmetry of superconducting pairing is an important issue in superconductivity. This study focuses on the honeycomb lattice and reports a stable superconducting ground state with a mixture of the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor chiral d + id-wave pairings. The results show that these two pairing channels promote each other and the proportion of the next-nearest-neighbor d + id component can be easily adjusted by doping density and short-range interactions.

Summary: We numerically study the ground-state properties of a one-dimensional lattice model in the presence of a quasiperiodic Zeeman field and find that it promotes the formation of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase, characterized by slower decaying pairing correlations. By adjusting the interaction and filling factor, the FFLO phase can be suppressed and a large Zeeman field can drive a superconductor-insulator transition. These findings suggest that the FFLO phase and transitions can be observed in optical lattice experiments.

Summary: In this study, the antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions of birefringent Dirac fermions in graphene are investigated. The results show that the quantum critical point can be continuously tuned by the bond-modulation strength, and the critical interaction scales with the geometric average of the two velocities of the birefringent Dirac cones.

Summary: The correlation effects on spin-orbit coupling in a two-orbital Hubbard model are investigated using the variational Monte Carlo method. It is found that the effective SOC constant is proportional to the bare value and depends on the electron-electron interactions. Increasing the interactions leads to a transition to an effective one-band state.

Summary: We present results of numerically exact simulations of the Bose one-component plasma, i.e., a Bose gas with pairwise Coulomb interactions among particles and a uniform neutralizing background. We compute the superconducting transition temperature for a wide range of densities, in two and three dimensions, for both continuous and lattice versions of the model. The Coulomb potential causes the weakly interacting limit to be approached at high density, but gives rise to no qualitatively different behavior, vis-à-vis the superfluid transition, with respect to short-ranged interactions. Our results are of direct relevance to quantitative studies of bipolaron mechanisms of (high-temperature) superconductivity.

Summary: In this study, the quantum-mechanical antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model of spins on a truncated icosahedron is solved using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG). The research focuses on the magnetic properties of the undoped C-60 fullerene at half filling under strong on-site interaction U. It is found that frustration can be tuned within fullerenes by changing their size, and the spin-spin correlations are stronger along hexagon bonds, decreasing exponentially with distance.

Summary: Recent research has shown that the BCS formalism has multiple solutions for the energy gap and equilibrium quasiparticle distribution, with the phase transition temperature depending on the position of the chemical potential. The phase transition may not only be a second-order phase transition, but also a first-order phase transition. Even in the classical BCS problem where the AB is symmetric, there are still multiple solutions available, with the energy gap of the second solution being one third of the typical BCS solution at zero temperature.

Summary: The study investigates the superconducting pairing correlation in doped staggered-flux Hubbard model on a square lattice using constrained path quantum Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that the dxy pairing dominates due to its larger long-range correlation, and it is slightly suppressed by increasing the nearest-neighbor interaction V.

Summary: Antiferromagnetic skyrmions are considered promising information carriers due to their attractive properties. The critical current and static and dynamic critical exponents of the depinning phase transition have been accurately determined through numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. Manipulating antiferromagnetic skyrmions and designing novel information processing devices can be greatly influenced by the sensitivity of the critical current to nonadiabatic coefficient.

Summary: In this study, we propose a multi sites method based on effective medium theory to calculate the realistic energy bands of strongly correlated systems. We find that the density of states obtained directly from the calculated local Green function does not accurately reflect the system's energy bands, due to the approximated self energy. By applying this method, we investigate how electron repulsion renormalizes the graphene bands. Our results show that the interacting graphene bands undergo a phase transition from a semi-metal to a Mott insulator with antiferromagnetic properties at low repulsions.

Summary: Researchers propose a novel approach to achieve emergent quasi-one-dimensional TSCs in unconventional superconductors through naturally embedded quantum structures like atomic line defects. The mixed-parity spin pairing of neighboring electrons at the line defect results in nontrivial topological invariants, creating TSCs with robust Majorana zero modes.

Summary: In the presence of both space and time reversal symmetries, an s-wave A(19) superconducting state is usually topologically trivial. However, in a certain type of nonsymmorphic lattice structure, an exception can occur. We demonstrate this exception in a time reversal invariant system with a centrosymmetric space group P4/nmm, showing the existence of a second-order topological state protected by a mirror symmetry. This topological superconductivity is characterized by degenerate Dirac cones and Majorana modes.

Summary: In this study, the effect of interface-induced Rashba spin-orbit coupling on the conductance of a three-terminal T-shaped superconducting device is investigated. The differential conductance is calculated within a quasiclassical formalism, considering the mixing of triplet-singlet pairing due to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The results are discussed in comparison with the conductance spectra reported for CoSi2/TiSi2 heterostructures.

Hole doping can enhance the transition temperature of superconductivity in certain cases.
