Studying interacting fermions in 1D at high energy, we find a hierarchy in the spectral weights of the excitations theoretically and we observe evidence for second-level excitations experimentally. Diagonalising a model of fermions (without spin), we show that levels of the hierarchy are separated by powers of $mathcal{R}^{2}/L^{2}$, where $mathcal{R}$ is a length-scale related to interactions and $L$ is the system length. The first-level (strongest) excitations form a mode with parabolic dispersion, like that of a renormalised single particle. The second-level excitations produce a singular power-law line shape to the first-level mode and multiple power-laws at the spectral edge. We measure momentum-resolved tunnelling of electrons (fermions with spin) from/to a wire formed within a GaAs heterostructure, which shows parabolic dispersion of the first-level mode and well-resolved spin-charge separation at low energy with appreciable interaction strength. We find structure resembling the second-level excitations, which dies away quite rapidly at high momentum.

The boundary modes of one dimensional quantum systems can play host to a variety of remarkable phenomena. They can be used to describe the physics of impurities in higher dimensional systems, such as the ubiquitous Kondo effect or can support Majoran
a bound states which play a crucial role in the realm of quantum computation. In this work we examine the boundary modes in an interacting quantum wire with a proximity induced pairing term. We solve the system exactly by Bethe Ansatz and show that for certain boundary conditions the spectrum contains bound states localized about either edge. The model is shown to exhibit a first order phase transition as a function of the interaction strength such that for attractive interactions the ground state has bound states at both ends of the wire while for repulsive interactions they are absent. In addition we see that the bound state energy lies within the gap for all values of the interaction strength but undergoes a sharp avoided level crossing for sufficiently strong interaction, thereby preventing its decay. This avoided crossing is shown to occur as a consequence of an exact self-duality which is present in the model.
We provide a detailed analysis of a realization of chiral gapless edge modes in the framework of the Hofstadter model of interacting electrons. In a transverse homogeneous magnetic field and a rational magnetic flux through an unit cell the fermion s
pectrum splits into topological subbands with well-defined Chern numbers, contains gapless edge modes in the gaps. It is shown that the behavior of gapless edge modes is described within the framework of the Kitaev chain where the tunneling of Majorana fermions is determined by effective hopping of Majorana fermions between chains. The proposed approach makes it possible to study the fermion spectrum in the case of an irrational flux, to calculate the Hall conductance of subbands that form a fine structure of the spectrum. In the case of a rational flux and a strong on-site Hubbard interaction $U$, $ U >4 Delta $ ($ Delta $ is a gap), the topological state of the system, which is determined by the corresponding Chern number and chiral gapless edge modes, collapses. When the magnitude of the on-site Hubbard interaction changes, at the point $ U = 4 Delta $ a topological phase transition is realized, i.e., there are changes in the Chern numbers of two subbands due to their degeneration.
Noncentrosymmetric superconductors with line nodes are expected to possess topologically protected flat zero-energy bands of surface states, which can be described as Majorana modes. We here investigate their fate if residual interactions beyond BCS
theory are included. For a minimal square-lattice model with a plaquette interaction, we find string-like integrals of motion that form Clifford algebras and lead to exact degeneracies. These degeneracies strongly depend on whether the numbers of sites in the $x$ and $y$ directions are even or odd, and are robust against disorder in the interactions. We show that the mapping of the Majorana model onto two decoupled spin compass models [Kamiya et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 161409 (2018)] and extra spectator degrees of freedom only works for open boundary conditions. The mapping shows that the three-leg and four-leg Majorana ladders are integrable, while systems of larger width are not. In addition, the mapping maximally reduces the effort for exact diagonalization, which is utilized to obtain the gap above the ground states. We find that this gap remains open if one dimension is kept constant and even, while the other is sent to infinity, at least if that dimension is odd. Moreover, we compare the topological properties of the interacting Majorana model to those of the toric-code model. The Majorana model has long-range entangled ground states that differ by $mathbb{Z}_2$ fluxes through the system on a torus. The ground states exhibit string condensation similar to the toric code but the topological order is not robust. While the spectrum is gapped - due to spontaneous symmetry breaking inherited from the compass models - states with different values of the $mathbb{Z}_2$ fluxes end up in the ground-state sector in the thermodynamic limit. Hence, the gap does not protect these fluxes against weak perturbations.
The concept of Fermi liquid lays a solid cornerstone to the understanding of electronic correlations in quantum matter. This ordered many-body state rigorously organizes electrons at zero temperature in progressively higher momentum states, up to the
Fermi surface. As such, it displays rigidity against perturbations. Such rigidity generates Fermi-surface resonances which manifest as longitudinal and transverse collective modes. Although these Fermi-liquid collective modes have been analyzed and observed in electrically neutral liquid helium, they remain unexplored in charged solid-state systems up to date. In this paper I analyze the transverse shear response of charged three-dimensional Fermi liquids as a function of temperature, excitation frequency and momentum, for interactions expressed in terms of the first symmetric Landau parameter. I consider the effect of momentum-conserving quasiparticle collisions and momentum-relaxing scattering in relaxation-time approximation on the coupling between photons and Fermi-surface collective modes, thus deriving the Fermi-liquid optical conductivity and dielectric function. In the high-frequency, long-wavelength excitation regime the electrodynamic response entails two coherent and frequency-degenerate polaritons, and its spatial nonlocality is encoded by a frequency- and interaction-dependent generalized shear modulus; in the opposite high-momentum low-frequency regime anomalous skin effect takes place. I identify observable signatures of propagating shear collective modes in optical spectroscopy experiments, with applications to the surface impedance and the optical transmission of thin films.
We study the nature of many-body eigenstates of a system of interacting chiral spinless fermions on a ring. We find a coexistence of fermionic and bosonic types of eigenstates in parts of the many-body spectrum. Some bosonic eigenstates, native to th
e strong interaction limit, persist at intermediate and weak couplings, enabling persistent density oscillations in the system, despite it being far from integrability.
