This paper demonstrates through numerical simulations and tensor network techniques that frustrated Josephson junction dice arrays at one-third flux quantum frustration exhibit a superconductor-insulator transition characterized by half-vortex deconfinement and the emergence of a topologically protected 4e superconducting phase mediated by Cooper quartets.
This paper derives and solves a dynamic-balance equation to quantify how thermal activation and cooling rates determine the freezing temperature and resulting residual vortex density in narrow superconducting strips cooled through their transition temperature in a small magnetic field.
This paper demonstrates that by manipulating the detuning beatnote in a Faraday geometry-driven unbalanced system, researchers can achieve a controlled crossover from Rabi oscillations to adiabatic population switching via Landau-Zener-Stückelberg interference, thereby establishing the oscillating Stark shift as a versatile mechanism for engineering spin dynamics and enabling simultaneous single-shot qubit readout and control.
By subjecting few-layer CrSBr to magnetic fields up to 55 tesla, this study confirms the existence of distinct bulk and surface excitons through their differing magnetic field responses, specifically a reduced redshift and smaller diamagnetic shift observed in the lower-energy surface exciton resonance.
This paper demonstrates that *in-situ* vacancy engineering during molecular beam epitaxy enables the synthesis of high-mobility -AgTe thin films with dominant surface transport, allowing for the observation of a fully developed quantum Hall state and confirming massless Dirac dispersion without the need for external gating or lithography.
This study reveals that the quantum metric in one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems exhibits a universal hierarchical scaling structure governed by the interplay of wavefunction criticality and spectral fractality, providing a sensitive geometric indicator of criticality that distinguishes it from localized and extended phases.
This paper demonstrates that quasiparticle interference (QPI) imaging in twisted bilayer graphene serves as a direct experimental probe for the electron form factor, revealing chiral interlayer interference patterns and validating topological constraints on Wannier orbitals through a combination of real-space tight-binding simulations and continuum model analysis.
This paper proposes and simulates a scalable spin-qubit architecture in pristine graphene p-n junctions, where strain-induced nanobubbles create tunable double quantum dots that enable coherent spin manipulation via Rashba spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman fields, as evidenced by distinct avoided crossings and detuning-dependent Rabi oscillations.
This paper proposes a minimal three-band model based on -orbital contributions to accurately reproduce the linear and quadratic optical susceptibilities of non-centrosymmetric monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides up to 2 eV above the band gap, offering a computationally efficient alternative to full $ab$ initio calculations for studying many-body effects.
This paper proposes a feasible scheme using ultracold atoms in a periodically driven 3D optical Raman lattice to realize unpaired Weyl points with tunable net chirality, thereby enabling the observation of the chiral magnetic effect and providing a controllable platform for exploring nonequilibrium topological phenomena.
