This paper introduces a general framework for certifying lower bounds on quantum ergotropy using only partial information from a limited set of observables, providing robust, confidence-certified estimates that account for statistical noise and demonstrating its effectiveness through both synthetic and experimental data on an IBM quantum processor.
This paper reveals that Fermi seas with identical Euler characteristics possess distinct fine-grained topological structures encoded by a new structural resolution factor, which can be inherited by topological superconducting phases to produce anomalous gapless boundary states at metal-superconductor interfaces.
This paper introduces a momentum-resolved Boltzmann-Bloch equation framework that incorporates many-body interactions and anisotropic electronic dispersion to provide a microscopic description of the temperature-dependent linear optical response in gold, offering deeper insight into the interplay of intra- and interband processes than traditional phenomenological models.
Using scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscopy, this study reveals that V-doped (Bi,Sb)Te exhibiting the quantum anomalous Hall effect possesses a unique magnetic state characterized by the coexistence of local interactions within crystallographic grains and long-range ferromagnetic coupling between them, a behavior distinct from that of Cr-doped counterparts.
This paper theoretically predicts and experimentally verifies that Corbino-geometry quantum Hall systems exhibit a large Peltier coefficient near integer Landau-level fillings, enabling significant electron cooling or heating at the disk perimeter depending on the current direction and disorder level.
This paper presents a non-perturbative, first-principles framework demonstrating that off-resonant cavity coupling can significantly enhance the magnetic exchange interaction in correlated electron systems via a generalized Purcell factor, provided that both static Coulomb screening and dynamical vector potential effects are consistently accounted for in the presence of dielectric substrates.
This paper introduces and characterizes various models of active quantum particles driven by engineered dissipation, demonstrating that despite diverse microscopic mechanisms, they universally exhibit a crossover from diffusive to active-diffusive motion and a strong sensitivity to boundary conditions via the Liouville skin effect, while also discussing their quantum fluctuations, experimental realizations, and many-body implications.
This paper proposes a new strategy for achieving ferroelectric -wave magnets by identifying time-reversal-symmetric spin-polarized insulating states in noncollinear magnetic ferroelectrics, classifying their symmetry-breaking mechanisms, and experimentally validating the electrical switching of such order in to enable novel spintronic functionalities.
This paper introduces the "frozonium," a Floquet-engineered superconducting circuit that utilizes periodic drives to effectively freeze anharmonicity and transform a nonlinear Josephson junction into a linear bosonic oscillator with enhanced noise protection, thereby enabling new avenues for quantum memory and bosonic control.
This study provides experimental evidence for topological hinge states in the higher-order topological insulator WTe by observing the absence of the first Shapiro step in Al-WTe-Al Josephson junctions, a signature attributed to a 4-periodic current-phase relationship that supports the pursuit of Majorana zero modes and topological quantum applications.
