This paper demonstrates that edge reconstruction in a fractional quantum Hall system proximitized by superconductors and ferromagnets generates a side strip that doubles the topological sectors to create degeneracy and a Josephson periodicity, with distinct signatures appearing in the fractional Josephson current when edge velocities differ.
This paper investigates quantum transport on finite-generation Bethe lattices with non-Hermitian sources and a drain, revealing that the current reaches a maximum at a zero mode—often an exceptional point in -symmetric systems—where only a limited number of eigenstates effectively penetrate from the periphery to the center, while the remaining states remain localized.
This paper utilizes the Prandtl-Tomlinson model to demonstrate that quantum and classical nanoscaled friction can be systematically controlled by adjusting system parameters like corrugation and characteristic length ratios, revealing diverse motion regimes and the critical role of Landau-Zener tunneling.
This study demonstrates that electrostatic gating of the 3D Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 enables programmable control over the chirality of terahertz emission by selectively modulating the Berry curvature-driven linearly polarized component, thereby allowing the polarization state to be tuned across the Poincaré sphere.
This paper demonstrates that mobile exceptional points under cyclic modulation generate momentum-space switching domains that partition the Brillouin zone into regions with distinct band-switching behaviors, a phenomenon theoretically characterized by a band-permutation invariant and experimentally verified in a lossy photonic crystal.
This study reports that in zero magnetic field, narrower quasi-one-dimensional aluminum superconducting structures exhibit lower critical temperatures and current densities due to enhanced depairing at dirty longitudinal boundaries, while their temperature-dependent switching currents transition from Kupriyanov-Lukichev behavior at lower temperatures to linear Josephson-like behavior near the transition top, indicating the formation of SNS junctions.
This paper reports the discovery of unusual, nonlocal critical switching currents in quasi-one-dimensional aluminum two-width structures that persist in high magnetic fields and defy description by standard Ginzburg-Landau theory.
This paper establishes a comprehensive theory demonstrating that quantum decoherence in macroscopic topological insulators induces quadratic corrections to the quantum spin Hall effect and drives a novel, stronger extrinsic spin Hall mechanism via second-order skew scattering, offering a distinct experimental signature for next-generation spintronic applications.
This paper demonstrates that representing 3D micromagnetic states in tensor train format overcomes the cubic scaling limitations of traditional grid-based methods by exploiting spatial sparsity, achieving a significantly more efficient parameter count that scales as and for flux-closure configurations.
This paper demonstrates that bulk mercury cadmium telluride layers hosting Kane fermions can achieve record-breaking deep-strong light-matter coupling above room temperature, while a rigorous gauge-invariant theory reveals that an emergent diamagnetic term prevents a superradiant phase transition, thereby resolving a long-standing controversy in cavity quantum electrodynamics.
