This paper introduces a retinally-inspired photonic computing system based on a random network laser that utilizes heterogeneous, inhibitively-coupled lasing modes to achieve high-accuracy few-shot classification and segmentation, outperforming state-of-the-art software models in low-data regimes.
This paper investigates longitudinal non-dissipative currents in bilayer electron-hole systems with potential barriers, demonstrating that the critical current scales with the product of barrier transparencies in the high-density limit but becomes inversely proportional to the sum of barrier heights in the low-density limit.
This paper introduces a generalized definition of dynamical activity valid at arbitrary system-reservoir coupling to derive a novel Quantum Kinetic Uncertainty Relation (QKUR) that accounts for quantum coherence and corrects the breakdown of standard relations in the strong-coupling regime of mesoscopic conductors.
This paper demonstrates that spin-polarized supercurrents can electrically control magnetic interactions in spin lattices and tune magnon gaps in antiferromagnetic and altermagnetic insulators by making spin-spin coupling dependent on absolute spatial position, thereby enabling dissipation-free manipulation of non-collinear ground states and spin Hamiltonians.
This paper demonstrates that forming 2D material heterostructures on hybrid photonic crystal nanocavities enables flexible, post-fabrication dielectric environment engineering, resulting in robust high- cavities with enhanced light-matter interactions and tunable optical properties through controlled flake stacking and encapsulation.
This paper derives vorticity-induced effects on Nambu-Goldstone modes in chiral perturbation theory by treating vorticity as an axial-vector field within the Wess-Zumino-Witten framework, resulting in new contributions such as vorticity-induced currents, magnetic-field-induced angular momentum, and modified photon-pion couplings in the presence of electromagnetic fields and finite chemical potentials.
This paper establishes a general framework for manipulating and amplifying collective bosonic modes in correlated quantum matter via parametric driving, demonstrating how this process reveals quantum geometric properties like fidelity susceptibility and enables the creation of novel non-equilibrium prethermal states.
This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical study of Rydberg excitons in cuprous oxide quantum wells by deriving a complete Hamiltonian based on the Luttinger-Kohn model to account for the complex valence band structure, revealing how nondiagonal coupling terms induce energy shifts, lift degeneracies, and determine the relative oscillator strengths of excitonic transitions.
This paper demonstrates that a universal contribution to the Casimir interaction in salted water extends its range beyond previous expectations, dominating at distances relevant to actin fibers and suggesting significant implications for biological processes at the cellular scale.
This paper demonstrates a gate-tunable Fabry-Pérot interferometer that enables the selective control and measurement of distinct statistical phases ( and ) for different anyon types in even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states, thereby resolving individual anyon tunneling events and addressing a key challenge in observing non-Abelian braiding.
