It has long been thought that strongly correlated systems are adiabatically connected to their noninteracting counterpart. Recent developments have highlighted the fallacy of this traditional notion in a variety of settings. Here we use a class of strongly correlated electron systems as a platform to illustrate the kind of quantum phases and fluctuations that are created by strong correlations. Examples are quantum critical states that violate the Fermi liquid paradigm, unconventional superconductivity that goes beyond the BCS framework, and topological semimetals induced by the Kondo interaction. We assess the prospect of designing other exotic phases of matter, by utilizing alternative degrees of freedom or alternative interactions, and point to the potential of these correlated states for quantum technology.

We present angle-resolved photoemission experiments on 1T-TiSe2 at temperatures ranging from 13K to 288K. The data evidence a dramatic renormalization of the conduction band below 100K, whose origin can be explained with the exciton condensate phase
model. The renormalization translates into a substantial effective mass reduction of the dominant charge carriers and can be directly related to the low temperature downturn of the resistivity of 1T-TiSe2. This observation is in opposition to the common belief that strong interactions produce heavier quasiparticles through an increased effective mass.
Electron correlations amplify quantum fluctuations and, as such, they have been recognized as the origin of a rich landscape of quantum phases. Whether and how they lead to gapless topological states is an outstanding question, and a framework that a
llows for determining novel phases and identifying new materials is in pressing need. Here we advance a general approach, in which strong correlations cooperate with crystalline symmetry to drive gapless topological states. We test this design principle by exploring Kondo lattice models and materials whose space group symmetries may promote different kinds of electronic degeneracies, with a particular focus on square-net systems. Weyl-Kondo nodal-line semimetals -- with nodes pinned to the Fermi energy -- are identified in both two and three dimensions. We apply the approach to identify materials for the realization of these correlation-driven topological semimetal phases. Our findings illustrate the potential of the proposed design principle to guide the search for new topological phases and materials in a broad range of strongly correlated systems.
We analyze the transformation from insulator to metal induced by thermal fluctuations within the Falicov-Kimball model. Using the Dynamic Mean Field Theory (DMFT) formalism on the Bethe lattice we find rigorously the temperature dependent Density of
States ($DOS$) at half filling in the limit of high dimensions. At zero temperature (T=0) the system is ordered to form the checkerboard pattern and the $DOS$ has the gap $Delta$ at the Fermi level $varepsilon_F=0$, which is proportional to the interaction constant $U$. With an increase of $T$ the $DOS$ evolves in various ways that depend on $U$. For $U>U_{cr}$ the gap persists for any $T$ (then $Delta >0$), so the system is always an insulator. However, if $U < U_{cr}$, two additional subbands develop inside the gap. They become wider with increasing $T$ and at a certain $U$-dependent temperature $T_{MI}$ they join with each other at $varepsilon_F$. Since above $T_{MI}$ the $DOS$ is positive at $varepsilon_F$, we interpret $T_{MI}$ as the transformation temperature from insulator to metal. It appears, that $T_{MI}$ approaches the order-disorder phase transition temperature $T_{O-DO}$ when $U$ is close to 0 or $ U_{cr}$, but $T_{MI}$ is substantially lower than $T_{O-DO}$ for intermediate values of $U$. Having calculated the temperature dependent $DOS$ we study thermodynamic properties of the system starting from its free energy $F$. Then we find how the order parameter $d$ and the gap $Delta $ change with $T$ and we construct the phase diagram in the variables $T$ and $U$, where we display regions of stability of four different phases: ordered insulator, ordered metal, disordered insulator and disordered metal. Finally, we use a low temperature expansion to demonstrate the existence of a nonzero DOS at a characteristic value of U on a general bipartite lattice.
Metal-insulator transitions involve a mix of charge, spin, and structural degrees of freedom, and when strongly-correlated, can underlay the emergence of exotic quantum states. Mott insulators induced by the opening of a Coulomb gap are an important
and well-recognized class of transitions, but insulators purely driven by spin correlations are much less common, as the reduced energy scale often invites competition from other degrees of freedom. Here we demonstrate a clean example of a spin-correlation-driven metal-insulator transition in the all-in-all-out pyrochlore antiferromagnet Cd2Os2O7, where the lattice symmetry is fully preserved by the antiferromagnetism. After the antisymmetric linear magnetoresistance from conductive, ferromagnetic domain walls is carefully removed experimentally, the Hall coefficient of the bulk reveals four Fermi surfaces, two of electron type and two of hole type, sequentially departing the Fermi level with decreasing temperature below the Neel temperature, T_N. Contrary to the common belief of concurrent magnetic and metal-insulator transitions in Cd2Os2O7, the charge gap of a continuous metal-insulator transition opens only at T~10K, well below T_N=227K. The insulating mechanism resolved by the Hall coefficient parallels the Slater picture, but without a folded Brillouin zone, and contrasts sharply with the behavior of Mott insulators and spin density waves, where the electronic gap opens above and at T_N, respectively.
We present an explanation for the puzzling spectral and transport properties of layered cobaltates close to the band-insulator limit, which relies on the key effect of charge ordering. Blocking a significant fraction of the lattice sites deeply modif
ies the electronic structure in a way that is shown to be quantitatively consistent with photoemission experiments. It also makes the system highly sensitive to interactions (especially to intersite ones), hence accounting for the strong correlations effects observed in this regime, such as the high effective mass and quasiparticle scattering rate. These conclusions are supported by a theoretical study of an extended Hubbard model with a realistic band structure on an effective kagom`e lattice.
