Collective modes are witnesses of their underlying quantum order, such as superconductivity. Experimental observations of the collective amplitude mode of the superconducting state, named the Higgs mode due to its analogy with the high energy particle, are still scarce and controversial, despite being a fundamental outcome of the theory of superconductivity. Besides, many crucial questions remain open, like the mechanism of its observability, its mere existence in two-dimensional or unconventional superconductors, to name a few. Similarly to the Higgs boson, its detection remains a challenge for physicists. I identified a potential mechanism of observability making the Higgs mode detectable…
