Compact representation and long-time extrapolation of real-time data for quantum systems using the ESPRIT algorithm

This paper demonstrates that the fully data-driven ESPRIT algorithm effectively compresses and denoises real-time quantum simulation data to accurately extrapolate long-time dynamical behavior and characterize quantum phases, even in noisy conditions and with limited short-time data.

Euler band topology in superfluids and superconductors

This paper establishes a unified framework for Euler band topology in superfluids and superconductors by demonstrating that specific three-dimensional topological phases in symmetry classes DIII and CI, including the B phase of superfluid Helium-3, possess nontrivial Euler classes that link to known invariants and predict unique phenomena such as linked nodal lines and higher-order topology.

Generation of Volume-Law Entanglement by Local-Measurement-Only Quantum Dynamics

This paper demonstrates that volume-law entanglement can be generated in a one-dimensional fermionic system without intrinsic unitary dynamics by employing a non-random, non-commuting local measurement protocol involving an auxiliary chain and detector qubits, while also showing that non-local higher-body measurements can be used to control and reduce such entanglement.

Dominant scattering mechanisms in the low/high electric field transport in cryogenic 2D confinement in Silicon (110) with high-κ\kappa oxides

This study utilizes multi-valley Monte Carlo simulations to reveal that electron transport in cryogenic Si(110) devices with high-κ\kappa oxides is governed by a competition between remote Coulomb and surface roughness scattering at low fields, while remote phonon scattering and phonon emission significantly limit mobility and velocity at high fields.

Intrinsic structure of relaxor ferroelectrics from first principles

This paper introduces the FIRE-Swap first-principles framework, which utilizes machine-learning interatomic potentials to reveal that lead magnesium niobate (PMN) possesses a unique rock-salt-like chemical order and interconnected polar nanoregions within Nb clusters, providing a mesoscale explanation for its relaxor ferroelectricity that distinguishes it from PZT and PST.
