Sub-kelvin thermal conductivity of substrates and on-chip routing in quantum integrated systems

This study experimentally characterizes the sub-kelvin thermal conductivity of various substrate materials and on-chip routing, revealing that high-resistivity silicon offers superior thermal performance and that while routing lines enhance in-plane conductance, the substrate remains the dominant heat path, thereby emphasizing the critical importance of material selection and 3D integration for effective thermal management in large-scale quantum systems.

On Fano effect in IR spectra of hydrogenated nanodiamonds

This work investigates the origin of the Fano-resonance "transmission window" in the infrared spectra of hydrogenated nanodiamonds and concludes that while adsorbed C-H stretching vibrations are not responsible, the resonance likely arises from the coupling of diamond optical phonons with either monohydride bending vibrations on (111) surfaces or graphitic islands, depending on the specific morphology and size distribution of the grains.

Superconductivity from Quasiparticle Pairing of Intervalley Coherent State in Rhombohedral Trilayer Graphene

This paper proposes that superconductivity in rhombohedral trilayer graphene arises from the pairing of quasiparticles in an adjacent intervalley coherent state, a mechanism that successfully explains the experimentally observed anomalously short coherence length and low transition temperature without requiring parameter fine-tuning, unlike conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory.

Photon State Evolution in Arbitrary Time-Varying Media

This contribution presents an efficient "instantaneous eigenstate method" based on the Heisenberg equation to analyze the evolution of photon states in arbitrary time-varying media, demonstrating that the generation of single photon pairs from the vacuum is limited to a probability of 25%, whereas Bell states can reach 84%, and showcasing precise control over photon spectral profiles through temporal modulation of material properties.
