This paper establishes a discrete-to-continuum limit via -convergence for atomistic systems with rigid interactions, demonstrating that the resulting continuum energy concentrates on grain boundaries and decomposes into twice the solid-vacuum transition energy due to the energetic unfavorability of solid-solid interpolating layers.
This study employs a transfer-matrix approach to demonstrate how uniaxial zigzag strain, energy gaps, and laser-modulated electrostatic barriers collectively govern electron transmission in gapped graphene, revealing strain-induced Fano oscillations and tunable transport properties that could advance optoelectronic device applications.
This paper presents a magnonic true random number generator that leverages stochastic switching in the bistable regime of spin-wave dynamics on a yttrium iron garnet microstrip to produce high-quality random bitstreams at 20 Mb/s, demonstrating both NIST compliance and scalability to nanoscale dimensions.
This study demonstrates that inter-subband coupling in multichannel Rashba nanowire Josephson junctions qualitatively alters the topological phase diagram and significantly enhances the Josephson diode effect, enabling nonreciprocal supercurrents even under Zeeman fields aligned with the spin-orbit direction—a mechanism absent in single-channel systems.
This paper proposes a cavity-based scheme that utilizes photonic chirality to control the braiding and readout of non-Abelian anyons in fractional quantum Hall systems by creating a rotating pinning landscape that maps braid operations onto measurable cavity intermode coherence, offering a robust alternative to fragile electronic interference methods.
This study reports the discovery of both field-odd and field-free superconducting diode effects in centrosymmetric nanoflakes, establishing air-stable molybdenum carbide as a promising platform for nonreciprocal quantum electronics.
This paper demonstrates a nonequilibrium analogue of Kramers turnover in a driven-dissipative Kerr parametric oscillator by theoretically establishing a method to decouple activation barriers from damping via drive-controlled rescaling and experimentally verifying the resulting nonmonotonic switching rate crossover in a micro-electromechanical device.
This paper demonstrates that quantum confinement in a two-dimensional nodal topological superconductor can gap out bulk bands while preserving edge states to generate Majorana zero modes, thereby enabling the construction of quasi-one-dimensional topological superconducting phases characterized by a quantized conductance of .
This paper demonstrates that accounting for finite-size effects through a microscopic polaron transform is essential for accurately determining quantum Fisher information in strongly coupled spin chains, revealing that phenomenological approaches fail to capture the true metrological potential for low-temperature thermometry and anisotropy-controlled magnetometry.
This paper employs a semi-classical large- expansion to demonstrate how out-of-plane magnetic fields and Berry curvature modify Wigner crystal exchange interactions through Aharonov-Bohm and Berry phases acquired during multi-particle tunneling along complex trajectories in coordinate and momentum space, respectively, with potential applications to rhombohedral multilayer graphene.
