This paper demonstrates that atom-photon bound states in self-similar fractal photonic lattices exhibit a far-field localization length scaling inversely with the detuning raised to the power of the walk dimension, a relationship driven by anomalous diffusion and confirmed through exact diagonalization on various fractal geometries.
Using plasmonic microwave spectroscopy on amorphous indium oxide films, this study reveals that a pinned vortex glass exhibits an anomalously slow, logarithmic decay of superfluid density driven by collective pinning enhanced by interactions, ultimately vanishing linearly at a continuous quantum critical point that governs the field-driven superconductor-insulator transition.
This paper theoretically demonstrates and analytically calculates how quasiparticle Andreev reflection occurs in fractional quantum Hall systems with two quantum point contacts, showing that the ratio of auto- to cross-current correlations serves as a direct signature of this phenomenon and aligns with recent experimental observations.
This paper demonstrates that optical conductivity serves as a critical probe for characterizing band flatness and anisotropic quantum geometry in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, revealing how lattice relaxation and specific optical signatures dictate the emergence of flat band superconductivity and fractional Chern insulating phases.
This paper proposes and demonstrates a novel mechanism for achieving spin-selective transport and negative differential resistance in clean antiferromagnetic chains by breaking spin symmetry through a bias drop along the functional element, offering a new pathway for designing efficient spintronic devices with zero net magnetization.
This paper investigates the topological and dynamical properties of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model driven by sequences of two unitaries under periodic, quasiperiodic, aperiodic, and random protocols, revealing discrepancies between end mode counts and winding numbers in periodic drives, and characterizing the distinct Loschmidt echo behaviors—ranging from long-lived oscillations to rapid decay—across different driving sequences.
This study employs exact diagonalization and Hartree-Fock mean-field theory to systematically analyze how on-site and extended Hubbard interactions, combined with disorder and electron filling, govern the behavior of persistent circular currents in magnetic flux-threaded quantum rings, revealing distinct monotonic and non-monotonic dependencies on interaction strengths across different filling regimes.
This topical review discusses how coupled-wire descriptions have evolved from a theoretical framework for strongly correlated matter into a highly tunable experimental platform within twisted nanoscale and moiré structures, enabling the continuous exploration and realization of diverse unconventional quantum states, including various topological and fractional phases.
This paper investigates nonlinear Thouless pumping in a non-Hermitian Rice-Mele model, revealing that the interplay between nonlinearity and non-Hermiticity induces fractional topological phases that are naturally explained through the equation of auxiliary eigenvalues, thereby linking nonlinear spectral characteristics to bulk-boundary correspondence.
This paper challenges the prevailing view that nonrelativistic effects in altermagnets are independent of spin-orbit coupling by predicting a giant, nonperturbative magnetic orbital Hall effect that is uniquely allowed in altermagnets, enabling field-free magnetization manipulation and strong room-temperature responses in materials like CrSb and FeSb2.
