Addressing the correlation of Stokes-shifted photons emitted from two quantum emitters

This paper proposes a theoretical model that successfully characterizes the correlation of Stokes-shifted photons from two quantum emitters by accounting for quantum coherence, thereby explaining experimental observations of interacting molecules and predicting a Hanbury Brown–Twiss peak for distant emitters.

Generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs from two interacting quantum emitters

This paper demonstrates theoretically that two interacting quantum emitters with perpendicular transition dipole moments can generate highly polarization-entangled photon pairs via the Wigner-Weisskopf theory, offering a versatile and robust alternative to existing probabilistic or spectrally limited entangled photon sources.

Direction-dependent linear response for gapped nodal-line semimetals in planar-Hall configurations

This paper theoretically computes the direction-dependent magnetoelectric conductivity of gapped nodal-line semimetals in various planar-Hall configurations, demonstrating how the interplay between Berry curvature and orbital magnetic moment reveals unique topological signatures in the resulting response.

Continuum Landau surface states in a non-Hermitian Weyl semimetal

This paper reveals that in non-Hermitian Weyl semimetals, the non-Hermitian chiral anomaly inflow is mediated by continuum Landau modes—special eigenstates with both spatial localization and a continuous spectrum—resulting in a unique volume-scaling of surface modes that contradicts traditional area-based expectations and can be probed via metamaterials.

Spatially focused magnetic hyperthermia: comparison of MRSh and sLLG equations

This paper compares the Martsenyuk-Raikher-Shliomis (MRSh) and stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (sLLG) theoretical frameworks for spatially focused magnetic hyperthermia using magnetic viscosity concepts, ultimately proposing the use of perpendicular AC and DC magnetic fields to enhance image-guided thermal therapy.

Long-Range Magnetic Order in Structurally Embedded Mesospin Metamaterials

This paper demonstrates a scalable method for creating large-area, structurally coherent magnetic metamaterials by embedding iron-ion mesospins in a palladium host, which spontaneously exhibit intrinsic long-range antiferromagnetic order without requiring external annealing or field cycling.
