We construct a quantum Ginsburg-Landau theory to study the quantum phases and transitions in electron hole bilayer system. We propose that in the dilute limit as distance is increased, there is a first order transition from the excitonic superfluid (ESF) to the excitonic supersolid (ESS) driven by the collapsing of a roton minimum, then a 2nd order transition from the ESS to excitonic normal solid. We show the latter transition is in the same universality class of superfluid to Mott transition in a rigid lattice. We then study novel elementary low energy excitations inside the ESS. We find that there are two supersolidon longitudinal modes (one upper branch and one lower branch) inside the ESS, while the transverse mode in the ESS stays the same as that inside a ENS. We also work out various experimental signatures of these novel elementary excitations by evaluating the Debye-Waller factor, density-density correlation, specific heat and vortex -vertex interactions. For the meta-stable supersolid generated by photon pumping, we show that the angle resolved spectrum is dominated by the macroscopic super-radiance from its superfluid component, even it is just a very small percentage of the the whole system. This fact can be used to detect the metastable ESS state generated by photon pumping by a power spectrum experiment easily and without any ambiguity.

Superfluidity in e-h bilayers in graphene and GaAs has been predicted many times but not observed. A key problem is how to treat the screening of the Coulomb interaction for pairing. Different mean-field theories give dramatically different conclusio ns, and we test them against diffusion Monte-Carlo calculations. We get excellent agreement with the mean-field theory that uses screening in the superfluid state, but large discrepancies with the others. The theory predicts no superfluidity in existing devices and gives pointers for new devices to generate superfluidity.
Quantum fluctuations and related phase transitions are of current interest from the viewpoint of fundamental physics and technological applications. Quantum phase implies a region where the quantum fluctuations of energy scale $hbaromega$ dominates o ver the thermal energy $k_B$T. Presence of quantum phase leads to unconventional and unexpected physical phenomena like Kondo effect, non-Fermi liquids, ordered magnetic state, and Fermi liquids, etc. In this framework, Ce-based metallic compounds, exhibiting correlated electron phenomena, emerged as prototypical systems to study the various quantum phases. In these systems considerable efforts have been made, both experimentally and theoretically, to overcome the problems related to the comprehensive understanding of correlated quantum phases. In this article, various aspects related to quantum phases in CeNiGe2, CeGe and CeAlGe are summarized, mainly focusing on the structural and physical properties.
Spin supersolids and spin superfluids reveal complex canted spin structures with independent order of longitudinal and transverse spin components. This work addresses the question whether these exotic phases can exhibit spin-driven ferroelectricity. Here we report the results of dielectric and pyrocurrent measurements of MnCr2S4 as function of temperature and magnetic field up to 60 T. This sulfide chromium spinel exhibits a Yafet-Kittel type canted spin structure at low temperatures. As function of external magnetic field, the manganese spins undergo a sequence of ordering patterns of the transverse and longitudinal spin components, which can be mapped onto phases as predicted by lattice-gas models including solid, liquid, super-fluid, and supersolid phases. By detailed dielectric and pyrocurrent measurements, we document a zoo of multiferroic phases with sizable ferroelectric polarization strongly varying from phase to phase. Using lattice-gas terminology, the title compound reveals multiferroic spin-superfluid and spin-supersolid phases, while the antiferromagnetic solid is paraelectric.

We investigated metal-insulator transitions for double layer two-dimensional electron hole systems in transition metal dicalcogenides (TMDC) stacked on opposite sides of thin layers of boron nitride (BN). The interparticle interaction is calculated b y including the screening due to the polarization charges at different interfaces, including that at the encapsultion and the substrate of experimental structures. We compute and compare the energies of the metallic electron-hole plasma and the newly proposed insulating exciton solid with fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo simulation including the high valley degeneracy of the electron bands. We found that for some examples of current experimental structures, the transition electron/hole density is in an accessible range of g x 10^12 /cm*2 with g between 4.1 and 14.5 for spacer thicknesses between 2.5 and 7.5 nm. Our result raise the possibility of exploiting this effect for logic device applications.
We present a pedagogical overview of recent theoretical work on unconventional quantum phases and quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems. Strong correlations between electrons can lead to a breakdown of two traditional paradigms of sol id state physics: Landaus theories of Fermi liquids and phase transitions. We discuss two resulting exotic states of matter: topological and critical spin liquids. These two quantum phases do not display any long-range order even at zero temperature. In each case, we show how a gauge theory description is useful to describe the new concepts of topological order, fractionalization and deconfinement of excitations which can be present in such spin liquids. We make brief connections, when possible, to experiments in which the corresponding physics can be probed. Finally, we review recent work on deconfined quantum critical points. The tone of these lecture notes is expository: focus is on gaining a physical picture and understanding, with technical details kept to a minimum.
