This Special Issue is dedicated to the proceedings of the conference SuperFluctuations 2024, which will be held in Salerno, Italy, from 16 to 18 September 2024 (http://www.multisuper.org/superfluctuations-2024). This international conference will provide an excellent forum for the presentation and discussion of recent developments in the diverse fields of superconductivity and superfluidity. You are invited to submit a full manuscript for consideration and possible publication in this Special Issue, focusing on the following topics:

  • Fluctuations and BCS-BEC crossover phenomena: multicomponent and low-dimensional systems.
  • Spin-orbitronics: theory and applications.
  • Novel quantum phenomena with Bosons and Fermions.
  • Highly non-linear phenomena: Josephson and Andreev effects, topological defects, vortex states.
  • Non-equilibrium superconductivity.
  • Electron-hole and excitonic superfluidity and supersolidity: theory, numerical simulations, and experimental realizations.
  • Innovative numerical methods: Machine Learning, its synergies with QMC, and applications.

We investigate spin-to-charge conversion via the Edelstein effect in a 2D Rashba electron gas using the semiclassical Boltzmann approach. We analyze the magnetization arising from the direct Edelstein effect, taking into account an anisotropic Rashba model. We study how this effect depends on the effective masses and Rashba spin–orbit coupling parameters, extracting analytical expressions for the high electronic density regime. Indeed, it is possible to manipulate the anisotropy introduced into the system through these parameters to achieve a boost in the Edelstein response compared to the isotropic Rashba model. We also discuss the theoretical framework to study the inverse Edelstein effect and calculate self-consistently the electric current induced by the proximity of the system to a ferromagnet. These results provide insights into the role of Rashba spin–orbit coupling and anisotropic effects in spin–charge conversion phenomena. Full article

A current flowing through a one-dimensional Kitaev chain induces a spatial modulation in its superconducting pairing, characterized by a wavevector Q, which is known to induce two types of topological phase transitions: one is the customary band topology transition between gapped phases, while the other is a Lifshitz transition related to the Fermi surface topology and leading to a gapless superconducting phase. We investigate the behavior of the electron density ρ and the compressibility κ across the two types of transitions, as a function of the model parameters. We find that the behavior of ρ as a function of Q and chemical potential μ enables one to infer the ground state phase diagram. Moreover, the analysis of the compressibility κ as a function of μ enables one to distinguish the two transitions: While κ exhibits a symmetric divergence across the band topology transition, it displays an asymmetric jump across the Lifshitz transition.

We propose a new way to establish the existence of a superfluid phase in an exciton bilayer system by exploiting the properties of its collective modes. We focus on the density collective modes and treat them within Random Phase Approximation. By comparing results for the normal and superfluid states, we are able to identify unambiguous fingerprints of the exciton superfluid phase. We compare the collective modes of the exciton system and cold atom systems, and we discuss the collective modes of the exciton superfluid order parameter. Full article

The spin Hall effect for the model Hamiltonian of graphene with Rashba spin–orbit coupling is analyzed by means of a recently derived quantum kinetic theory of the linear response for multi-band electron systems. The latter expresses the interband part of the density matrix in terms of the intraband occupation numbers, which can be obtained as solutions of a Boltzmann transport equation. The analysis, which, in the case of the model here considered, can be carried out in a completely analytical way, thus provides an effective pedagogical illustration of the general theory. While our results agree with those previously obtained with alternative approaches for the same model, our comparatively simpler and more physically transparent derivation illustrates the advantages of our formalism when dealing with non trivial multi-band Hamiltonians.
