Melting of quantum Hall Wigner and bubble crystals

By combining Corbino-geometry transport experiments in ultraclean GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells with Hartree--Fock elasticity and Kosterlitz--Thouless--Halperin--Nelson--Young melting theory, this study quantitatively predicts the melting temperatures of quantum Hall bubble crystals, thereby validating the defect-mediated melting framework for strongly interacting electronic solids.

Ultra-slow orbital and spin dynamics in an electrically tunable quantum dot molecule

This paper demonstrates the deterministic optical charging and electrical tuning of a quantum dot molecule to create spin-photon interfaces, revealing remarkably long spin-relaxation times and confirming the system's potential for generating multidimensional photonic cluster states.

Ramsey correlation spectroscopy with phase cycling using a single quantum sensor

This paper introduces RESOLUTE, a novel Ramsey correlation spectroscopy protocol utilizing phase cycling and population imbalance storage that extends effective coherence time beyond the standard T2T_2^* limit, enabling the detection of low-frequency signals such as 13^{13}C nuclear spin precession in regimes previously inaccessible to single quantum sensors.

Moiré-induced symmetry breaking of charge order in van der Waals heterostructures

This study demonstrates that stacking misfit layered chalcogenides with 1H-TaS2_2 induces anisotropic symmetry breaking in the charge-density wave state through a nonlinear coupling with the uniaxial moiré potential, while leaving the material's s-wave superconductivity largely unaffected.

Efficiently gate-tunable ferromagnetism in ferromagnetic semiconductor-Dirac semimetal p-n heterojunctions

This study demonstrates that a gate-tunable p-n heterojunction between the Dirac semimetal Cd3_3As2_2 and the ferromagnetic semiconductor In1x_{1-x}Mnx_xAs enables efficient control of the Curie temperature via modest electric fields, revealing a novel interplay between topology and magnetism that extends beyond conventional hole-mediated mechanisms.

Influence of Hopping Integrals and Spin-Orbit Coupling on Quantum Oscillations in Kagome Lattices

Motivated by recent experiments on CsTi3_3Bi5_5 and RbTi3_3Bi5_5, this study demonstrates that the next-nearest-neighbor hopping integral (t2t_2) acts as a critical control parameter by modulating the hybridization gap to either suppress or enable magnetic breakdown, thereby determining whether the intrinsic nontrivial Berry phase of the kagome lattice is observable in quantum oscillations.
