学术报告（2023年5月26日15:00）： Quantum geometric effects in multiband superconductors

主持人：严忠波 副教授

报告摘要：The Bloch electrons in multi-orbital or multiband systems are not featureless particles. Instead, they generally possess quantum geometric information characteristic of their wavevector-dependent orbital composition. This property manifests in the electromagnetic responses, in the sense that the transport of the multiple Bloch electrons at the same wavevector are quantum mechanically connected by interband velocities --- quantities that are related to the non-Abelian Berry connection among those states. One part of the quantum geometry, the Berry curvature, has been widely discussed in topological band theories. However, the other part, the quantum metric, which is actually more universally present in multiband systems, has received far less attention. Recently, it was realized that the quantum metric is crucial for the existence of flatband superconductivity [1]. This talk will focus on several more novel effects enabled by quantum geometry (mostly quantum metric). In particular, I will separately discuss how quantum geometry induces intrinsic optical anomaly and how it may facilitate the formation of pair-density-wave states in multiband superconductors [2,3].
