This paper proposes and analyzes measurement-powered quantum tunneling engines that utilize the energy exchange from detecting virtually occupied states to simultaneously generate power and achieve autonomous refrigeration, while also demonstrating a "purification-by-noise" effect that drives the system into a stationary dark state.
This paper investigates a Duffing resonator under bichromatic excitation, revealing how the competition between two drives in the slow-beating regime induces dynamical phase transitions between coexisting states, which are characterized by a cycle-averaged amplitude order parameter and mapped to provide a framework for controlling nonlinear systems across various platforms.
This paper demonstrates that circularly polarized phonons dynamically induce electron orbital angular momentum through adiabatic Berry phase evolution and ionic rotation-modulated orbital overlaps, offering a new mechanism for orbitronics applications even in materials with weak spin-orbit coupling.
This paper investigates how an orbital magnetic field induces gap-opening and layered Chern insulating states in lattice-based Weyl semimetals, revealing rich phenomenology driven by cone anisotropy and distinct surface Fermi-arc evolution that differs from continuum predictions.
This paper presents a unified quantum open system framework that treats coherent dynamics, relaxation, dephasing, and irreversible absorption on equal footing to derive analytic expressions for the dissipative dynamics and steady-state properties of hybrid plasmon-photon polaritons in lossy nanocavities.
This paper demonstrates that moving a point charge near a spherical topological insulator induces a rotation of the sphere around the symmetry axis connecting the charge and the sphere's center, a phenomenon driven by axion electrodynamics that allows for the derivation of an exact expression for the surface electronic velocity.
By integrating machine learning-driven neuroevolution potentials with anharmonic lattice dynamics and the Boltzmann transport equation, this study quantitatively explains the drastic thermal conductivity collapse in single-walled carbon nanotube bundles as a result of symmetry-breaking-induced scattering and new inter-tube scattering channels, while demonstrating the critical necessity of quantum Bose-Einstein statistics to align theoretical predictions with experimental observations.
This paper utilizes self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculations combined with an *ab initio* tight-binding model to systematically investigate rhombohedral multilayer graphene, revealing a rich sequence of isospin-driven phase transitions that generate diverse topological electron crystal phases with extended quantum anomalous Hall effects and characterizing their thermodynamic signatures in light of recent experiments.
This paper predicts the emergence of topological electron crystals with triangular, honeycomb, and kagome geometries in bilayer graphene–Mott insulator heterostructures, driven by the interplay of interlayer Coulomb attraction and topological miniband physics that stabilizes nontrivial crystalline orders without requiring moiré twisting or external patterning.
This paper demonstrates that temporal permittivity modulation in nanoscale networks enables phase-controlled interference between Floquet scattering channels to actively route, split, and manipulate radiative heat flow, even at thermal equilibrium.
