Order and quantum phase transitions in the cuprate superconductors

By S. Sachdev. 2002

274 citations recorded by the source corpus.

This is a summary of a review article appearing in Reviews of Modern Physics, July 2003. The ground state of the cuprate superconductors is described using the paradigm of competing orders. This approach has led to numerous predictions, some of which have been tested in recent nanoscale experiments.
