Competing Orders in the Cuprate Superconductors
Eugene Demler
(Harvard University)
Abstract: The interplay of superconductivity, spin and charge
density wave orders in the high temperature cuprate superconductors will be
discussed. It will be demonstrated that experiments in the vortex state of such
materials provide an important insight into the nature of the doped Mott
insulators. A new approach to testing the microscopic models of
superconductivity in the cuprates using cold fermionic atoms in optical lattices
will be presented.
