Twist-angle evolution from valley-polarized fractional topological phases to valley-degenerate superconductivity in twisted bilayer MoTe2

This study presents a systematic transport investigation of twisted bilayer MoTe2 across a range of twist angles, revealing a continuous evolution from valley-polarized fractional topological phases at smaller angles to valley-degenerate superconductivity at larger angles, thereby establishing a unified framework linking fractional topology, symmetry breaking, and superconductivity in moiré systems.

Electron Tesla valve

The authors demonstrate a solid-state analogue of a Tesla valve fabricated in a high-mobility GaAs two-dimensional electron gas that achieves abrupt, tenfold rectification of electron flow by exploiting collective hydrodynamic behavior and the emergence of a turbulent electron regime.

Stroboscopic detection of itinerant microwave photons

This paper proposes a novel scheme using cascaded Josephson-photonics devices to achieve highly efficient, near-projective stroboscopic detection of itinerant microwave single photons with low dark counts, potentially reaching near-unity efficiency through photon multiplication.

Quasiparticle properties below coherence onset in YbAl3 nanostructures

This study characterizes the quasiparticle properties of the mixed-valence compound YbAl $_3$ below its coherence onset temperature by utilizing mesoscopic transport measurements on nanowires to observe weak antilocalization, universal conductance fluctuations, and significant temperature-dependent electron-phonon energy loss.

FAlCon: A unified framework for algorithmic control of quantum dot devices

The paper introduces FAlCon, an open-source software ecosystem that addresses the scalability and portability challenges in semiconductor quantum dot experiments by providing a hardware-agnostic domain-specific language, physics-informed data structures, and shared protocols to enable automated, interoperable characterization and tuning workflows across diverse laboratory setups.

Correlated Quantum Phenomena in Confined Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Crystals

This review examines how quantum confinement in two-dimensional hexagonal materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, amplifies Coulomb interactions to stabilize diverse correlated quantum states, with a focus on the distinct mechanisms and phenomena observed in quantum dots and twisted van der Waals heterostructures.

Kibble-Zurek Mechanism in the Open Quantum Rabi Model

This study demonstrates that non-Markovian dissipation in the open quantum Rabi model preserves the universal Kibble-Zurek scaling of defect formation by inducing a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition, thereby establishing the mechanism as a robust witness of universality in open quantum systems.

Decoherence and the Reemergence of Coherence From a Superconducting "Horizon"

This paper demonstrates that while Andreev reflection in a superconducting analogue of a black hole horizon initially causes decoherence in a normal metal interferometer, increasing the coupling strength restores coherence through resonant tunneling, suggesting a novel gravitational analogue where virtual Hawking radiation enables the reemergence of quantum coherence near an event horizon.

Magnetism Induced by Periodically Driven Non-Magnetic Impurities on Surfaces with Spin-Orbit Coupling

Using the Floquet-Green function method within the Keldysh formalism, this study demonstrates that a time-periodic scalar potential applied to a Rashba spin-orbit system can induce a structurally rich, oscillating magnetization density through Fermi surface spin polarization, even in the absence of an external magnetic field.

Majorana Crystal in Rhombohedral Graphene

This paper demonstrates that the unusual superconducting phase in rhombohedral graphene, often interpreted as chiral topological superconductivity, is mathematically equivalent to an ordinary chiral topological superconductor on a triangular lattice that simultaneously forms a Majorana crystal on the dual honeycomb lattice.
