Feshbach hypothesis of high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates by Lukas Homeier, Hannah Lange, Eugene Demler, Annabelle Bohrdt, Fabian Grusdt

“…Existing experimental and numerical results on hole-doped cuprates lead us to conjecture the existence of a light, long-lived, low-energy excited state of two holes, which enables near-resonant interactions. To put our theory to a test we suggest to use coincidence angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (cARPES), pair-tunneling measurements or pump-probe experiments. …”
