This paper proposes that microwave irradiation can induce a tunable superconducting diode effect in Josephson junctions by breaking both particle-hole and inversion symmetries, leading to asymmetric critical currents and potentially perfect rectification, a phenomenon achievable even without Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states as long as these symmetry-breaking conditions are met.
This paper proposes a method to generate ultracold dark-state atoms with Aharonov-Casher Chern bands, demonstrating that a combination of specific atom-light coupling configurations and finite coupling strength imperfections can yield a perfectly flat, topologically non-trivial lowest energy band suitable for simulating fractional Hall states.
This paper proposes that electronic screening by conduction electrons in metallic carbon nanotubes reduces friction for protons and water molecules, explaining their enhanced osmotic flow compared to semiconducting nanotubes, while noting that potassium ion flow under an electric field remains unaffected by this mechanism.
This paper introduces a gate-biased near-infrared illumination technique that enables the individually tunable and repeatable adjustment of operating voltages for Si/SiGe quantum dot qubits by controllably modifying nanoscale trapped charge distributions, thereby achieving uniform voltages without increasing charge noise.
This paper investigates the finite-temperature topology of higher-order topological insulators, specifically the Benalcazar-Bernevig-Hughes model, by utilizing the Uhlmann phase to identify topological transitions through its quantization and the determination of a critical temperature where these topological signatures vanish.
This paper experimentally demonstrates that non-Hermiticity in a synthetic photonic Weyl semimetal can break the fundamental chirality constraint of Weyl nodes by using radiative boundary loss to selectively suppress surface states, thereby creating an observable imbalance between counter-propagating chiral Landau levels.
This study investigates the ferroelectric switching characteristics of CVD-grown 3R-WSe2 bilayers using a graphene-based field-effect transistor, revealing that growth-induced structural disorder significantly impacts polarization switching while multi-domain kinetics govern the evolution of the ferroelectric response.
This paper proposes a novel, energy-efficient, and low-latency edge detection framework that leverages the intrinsic characteristics of Spin-Orbit Torque Magnetic Tunnel Junction (SOT-MTJ) bit-cell arrays to overcome the computational and power limitations of traditional CMOS-based algorithms like Canny.
This study reports the ultrafast formation of exceptionally large, microwave-driven dynamic magnetic solitons in thin ferrimagnetic garnet films, which emerge within the linear spin-wave band and exhibit rapid, long-range coherent oscillations followed by collapse into short-wavelength spin waves.
This paper proposes electronic Hall viscosity as a fundamental quantum geometry indicator for detecting and controlling antiferromagnetic ordering and Berry curvature in materials like RuO₂ and Mn₃Sn, overcoming the limitations of traditional anomalous Hall conductivity in systems with vanishing magnetization.
