Abstract
Using path-integral quantum Monte Carlo we study the low-temperature phase diagram of a two-dimensional superconductor within a phenomenological model, where vortices have a finite mass and move in a dissipative environment modeled by a Caldeira-Leggett term. The quantum vortex liquid at high magnetic fields exhibits superfluidity and thus corresponds to a superinsulating phase which is characterized by a nonlinear voltage-current law for an infinite system in the absence of pinning. This superinsulating phase is shifted to higher magnetic fields in the presence of dissipation.
