Programmable Magnetic Hysteresis in Orthogonally-Twisted Two-Dimensional CrSBr Magnets via Stacking Engineering

By engineering the stacking configuration and twist angle of orthogonally-twisted CrSBr van der Waals magnets, researchers demonstrate a highly tunable magnetic hysteresis that enables on-demand switching between volatile and non-volatile memory states and controls abrupt spin-reversal processes, offering a new pathway for miniaturized spintronic devices.

Generic deformation channels for critical Fermi surfaces including the impact of collisions

This paper extends the analysis of critical Fermi surface deformations at an Ising-nematic quantum critical point by employing quantum Boltzmann equations that include collision effects, revealing that while bosonic dynamics do not alter the solutions, the system supports a robust zero-sound mode and an infinite family of discrete higher-order harmonic modes alongside a continuous particle-hole band.

Persistence of charge ordering instability to Coulomb engineering in the excitonic insulator candidate TiSe2_2

By utilizing Coulomb engineering to tune dielectric screening in ultra-clean TiSe2_2 heterostructures, the study demonstrates that while the band gap is renormalized, the charge-density-wave transition remains unaffected, thereby ruling out excitonic insulator physics as the primary driver of the phase transition in TiSe2_2.

Spin currents in crystals with spin-orbit coupling: multi-band effects in an effective Hamiltonian formalism

This paper demonstrates that calculating spin currents in crystals with spin-orbit coupling requires a modified operator derived from iterative elimination of remote bands, as the standard definition based on group velocity fails to capture dominant interband mixing effects that can lead to qualitatively incorrect results.

Observation of first- and second-order dissipative phase transitions in a two-photon driven Kerr resonator

This paper presents the first comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis of both first- and second-order dissipative phase transitions in a two-photon driven Kerr superconducting resonator, characterizing critical dynamics such as hysteresis and symmetry breaking to validate Liouvillian spectral theory for engineering criticality in quantum information applications.

Probing Boron Vacancy Defects in hBN via Single Spin Relaxometry

This paper demonstrates a nanoscale sensing technique that utilizes a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond to detect and map boron vacancy defects in hexagonal boron nitride by measuring changes in spin relaxation time (T1T_1) caused by cross-relaxation, thereby enabling optical-free characterization of 2D spin systems beyond the diffraction limit.

Evidence of Ultrashort Orbital Transport in Heavy Metals Revealed by Terahertz Emission Spectroscopy

Using terahertz emission spectroscopy on wedge-shaped heavy metal|Ni heterostructures, this study provides the first direct experimental evidence that orbital mean free paths in heavy metals are ultrashort (sub-nanometer scale) and shorter than spin counterparts, confirming that bulk inverse orbital Hall effect governs orbital-to-charge conversion.

Design and Dynamics of Two-Qubit Gates with Motional States of Electrons on Helium

This paper demonstrates that time-dependent tuning of confining potentials in electron-on-helium systems enables fast, high-fidelity two-qubit gates (specifically iSWAP\sqrt{i\mathrm{SWAP}} and CZ) with minimal control-induced errors, providing a methodology to isolate these effects from environmental noise for future device design.
