2 Outline _ Brief history of the Anderson-Higgs mechanism _ The vacuum is a condensate _ Emergent relativity in condensed matter _ Is the Higgs mode overdamped in d=2? _ Higgs near quantum criticality Experimental detection: Charge density waves Cold atoms in an optical lattice Quantum Antiferromagnets Superconducting films

3 1955: T.D. Lee and C.N. Yang - massless gauge bosons Nambu, Goldstone: massless bosons in spontaneously broken symmetry Where are the massless particles? The vacuum is not empty: it is stiff. like a metal or a charged Bose condensate!

4 Rewind to 1911 Kamerlingh Onnes Discovery of Superconductivity 1911 R Lord Kelvin R=0! Mathiessen mercury T c = 4.2K T

5 Meissner Effect, 1933 Metal Superconductor Phil Anderson persistent currents Meissner effect -> 1. Wave function rigidity 2. Photons get massive

Small t/u : system is a Mott insulator, (gap for charge fluctuations).

10 Higgs - Goldstones coupling Fluctuations in the ordered state: (N 1 directions) (1 direction) Harmonic theory Interactions Higgs coupling to 2 Goldstones Is the Higgs mode over damped in d=2?

11 Quantum Critical point Landau theory Sponateously broken symmetry Quantum Critical point Symmetric phase (quantum disordered) order parameter g<g c g = g c g>g c

12 The Higgs decay The Higgs mode can decay into a pair of Goldstone bosons : In neutral systems, and for 2D superconductors, the Goldstones are massless.! Higgs mode Goldstone modes charged, d=3 d=3 Higgs decay rate is bounded even at strong coupling k d=2 self-energy diverges at low frequency, even at weak coupling : k k + p p Im (!) 1! infrared divergent!

14 vector vs scalar dynamical correlations Longitudinal versus radial perturbations : Radial motion is less damped, since it is not effected by azimuthal meandering. What happens to the spectral function near the quantum critical point?

27 Summary A Higgs (amplitude) mode in condensed matter appears when 1. The dynamics are relativistic. (granular superconductors, cold atoms on optical lattices, antiferromagnets). 2. Near a quantum critical point, when the Higgs mass is low. In two dimensional superconductors, the Higgs mode is visible as a threshold for the AC conductivity. At criticality, the Higgs spectral function scales as a universal peak
