Fractional chiral second-order topological insulator from a three-dimensional array of coupled wires

This paper proposes a model of a three-dimensional chiral second-order topological insulator constructed from coupled nanowires, demonstrating that the interplay of rotating magnetic fields and modulated tunneling can generate gapped bulk and surface states with gapless chiral hinge states that exhibit either integer or fractional charge transport depending on electron-electron interactions.

Fast and Continuous Detection of Single Microwave Photons via Photo-assisted Quasiparticle Tunneling to a Superconducting Island

This paper demonstrates a fast, continuous single-photon detector for 10 GHz microwaves that utilizes photo-assisted quasiparticle tunneling to poison a superconducting island, achieving 10% efficiency with sub-50 ns resolution and a short dead time by employing a granular aluminum high-impedance resonator for enhanced light-matter coupling.

Temporal magnetic interfaces reveal damping-induced spin-wave amplification near the stripe-domain transition in ultrathin films with DMI

This study demonstrates that in ultrathin CoFeB films with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, Gilbert damping can counterintuitively drive spin-wave amplification near the stripe-domain transition via temporal magnetic interfaces, enabling up to 175-fold frequency-preserving amplitude growth without continuous power injection.

Enhancement of spin current in Fe $_{85}$ Co $_{15}$ /Ni $_{80}$ Fe $_{20}$ bilayers via interlayer ferromagnetic coupling

This study demonstrates that the spin current in Fe $_{85}$ Co $_{15}$ /Ni $_{80}$ Fe $_{20}$ bilayers can be maximized by tuning the interlayer ferromagnetic coupling strength, which optimizes the magnetization precession area of the permalloy layer as confirmed by experimental characterization and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert modeling.

Real-time pseudo entropy and modular-Hamiltonian correlations

This paper investigates the short-time behavior of real-time pseudo entropy, demonstrating that its initial imaginary and real responses are fundamentally governed by the symmetrized covariance and commutator, respectively, between the physical Hamiltonian and the modular Hamiltonian, thereby revealing pseudo entropy as a time-oriented modular response rather than a mere branch artifact.

Spin-orbit coupling by design in quantum state engineering of atomically defined quantum dots

By patterning individual cesium ions on an indium antimonide surface with atomic precision, researchers successfully engineered and controlled the spin-orbit coupling and resulting quantum states in quantum dots, demonstrating that tailored local electric field gradients can tune the level structure beyond conventional descriptions.

Dissipation-induced superradiance in matter coupled to a self-interacting cavity

This paper demonstrates that introducing a negative Kerr nonlinearity to the Dicke model enables a low-threshold superradiant phase with spin inversion, which is stabilized against instability by cavity dissipation, thereby offering new pathways for lasing and bath-engineered quantum phases.

Tailoring the properties of YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ O $_{7-\delta}$ thin films by 30 keV He $^+$ irradiation: An enabling route to superconducting device nanopatterning

This study establishes quantitative fluence thresholds and a practical operational window for 30 keV He $^+$ ion irradiation of YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{7-\delta}$ thin films, demonstrating that controlled defect engineering via Frenkel pair generation—rather than oxygen depletion—enables precise superconducting property suppression and nanopatterning while maintaining structural integrity within a specific fluence range.

Electrical Magnetochiral current in Tellurium

This theoretical study demonstrates that electrical magnetochiral anisotropy in $p$ -type tellurium arises from higher-order $k^3B$ terms in the hole Hamiltonian rather than linear $kB$ terms, with comparable contributions from elastic scattering and energy relaxation mechanisms revealed through two independent calculation approaches.

Theory of weak localization in graphene with spin-orbit interaction

This paper develops a theory of weak localization in graphene with Rashba spin-orbit interaction, demonstrating that the resulting anomalous magnetoresistance deviates from the traditional Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka formula due to a unique spin-orbit vector potential and is applicable to graphene-transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures.
