Stéphane Vinet, Gabriel Longpré and William Witczak-Krempa have just published their new paper “Excitations and ergodicity of critical quantum spin chains from non-equilibrium classical dynamics” in the journal “SciPost Physics Core”.

The PhD student Liuke Lyu and Professor William Witczak-Krempa recently published a preprint of their new article titled “Drude-like Thermal Hall Resistivity in the Cuprates“. The article uncovers a new property of heat transport in many cuprates (copper oxides), which are important due to the presence of high-temperature superconductivity in their phase diagram. Surprisingly, when a magnetic field is applied the thermal Hall resistivity behaves the same way as for non-interacting electrons.
We congratulate Dr. Rufus Boyack for his new position as a professor in the Department of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College (United states of America). We wish him a long and prolific carreer !
Last week was an opportunity for the WK Lab team to meet at a scientific retreat in Orford and discuss the group’s next research directions.
