From twenty years of experimental research, we can draw several conclusions that do not depend on any particular model of high-temperature superconductivity. With these in mind, it's time to assess the theoretical landscape, and wonder whether we have been asking the right questions.

The Fermi Liquid Breakdown: High-$$T_c$$ Superconductivity
The Fermi liquid theory that we have outlined in the previous Section has been tremendously successful in explaining almost all metallic states in nature. However, fortunately nature hides always…
Pairing in cuprate superconductors
Despite 25 years of intense effort and a wealth of experimental data, no clear consensus has emerged regarding the mechanism that allows pairing in the cuprate superconductors at such unprecedentedly…
Ab-initio theory of Iron based superconductors
We report the first-principles study of superconducting critical temperature and superconducting properties of Fe-based superconductors taking into account on the same footing phonon, charge and…
The nature of Fermi-liquids, an optical perspective
With the arrival of new experimental, numerical and theoretical techniques, the discovery of new materials and new processes has multiplied in recent decades. Condensed matter has diversified, but…
Possible increased critical temperature Tc in anisotropic bosonic gases
A finite thermal anisotropy, if maintained for times longer than thermal relaxation times, may have a positive effect on the critical temperature in Bose-Einstein condensation of a dilute boson gas…
Fluctuating bond model of high temperature superconductivity in cuprates
Despite extensive experimental and theoretical work, there is currently no consensus theory for the pairing mechanism in High Temperature Superconductors or for their other anomalous properties. We…
What Can Ultracold Fermi Gases Teach Us About High Tc Superconductors and Vice Versa
Two Gaps Make a High Temperature Superconductor
One of the keys to the high-temperature superconductivity puzzle is the identification of the energy scales associated with the emergence of a coherent condensate of superconducting electron pairs.…
Perfect fluids and bad metals: insights from ultracold Fermi gases
In this paper, we examine in a unified-fashion dissipative transport in strongly correlated systems. We thereby demonstrate the connection between 'bad metals' (such as high-temperature…
Analytical and numerical study of the Superfluid : Bose glass transition in two dimensions
The interplay of disorder (i.e. impurities) and interactions is one of the most fundamental questions in Condensed Matter Physics that has received a lot attention in the past couple of decades.…
