The London Institute’s papers are the official record of our discoveries. They allow others to build on and apply our work. Each one is the result of many months of research, so we strive to make them clear, inspiring and beautiful, and publish them in leading journals.

Vortex bound states

Modelling the behaviour of two interacting bosonic particles in a chiral, dimerized optical lattice shows the pair form a vortex bound state.

Spin-charge separation

A transformation for spin and charge degrees of freedom in one-dimensional lattice systems allows direct access to the dynamical correlations.

Tunnelling interpreted

Quantum tunnelling only occurs if either the Wigner function is negative, or the tunnelling rate operator has a negative Wigner function.
