Beyond-Hubbard Pairing in a Cuprate Ladder
Our new article, Beyond-Hubbard Pairing in a Cuprate Ladder , is now out in Physical Review X. In this paper, we use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to measure magnetic excitations in a prototypical cuprate ladder, and find evidence for strong hole...

Discovering a demon
This manuscript presents the discovery of a quasiparticle called “demon” (from “ distinct electron motion ” or d.e.m.) that was predicted 66 years ago by David Pines and not observed definitively until now. The characteristic excitation of a metal is a...
