Majorana zero modes in semiconductor-superconductor hybrid structures: Defining topology in short and disordered nanowires through Majorana splitting

This paper theoretically demonstrates that in short, disordered semiconductor-superconductor nanowires, the exponential protection of Majorana zero modes is highly constrained and often suppressed by disorder, implying that the definition of "topology" in such finite systems is not unique and requires context-dependent analysis.

Crossed surface flat bands in three-dimensional superconducting altermagnets

This paper investigates three-dimensional superconducting altermagnets to demonstrate how the interplay between superconducting and altermagnetic symmetries generates topologically protected crossed surface flat bands and Bogoliubov-Fermi surfaces, which collectively produce distinct charge conductance signatures for experimental detection.

Noises in a two-channel charge Kondo model

This paper investigates electric and heat current fluctuations in a two-channel charge Kondo circuit, demonstrating that voltage- and temperature-driven noise ratios exhibit gate-voltage oscillations and logarithmic temperature dependencies characteristic of non-Fermi-liquid behavior, thereby confirming that fundamental relations linking noise to thermoelectric transport persist beyond the Fermi-liquid paradigm.

Quantum dynamics of monitored free fermions: Evolution of quantum correlations and scaling at measurement-induced phase transition

This paper investigates the quantum dynamics of monitored free fermions by extending the nonlinear sigma-model field theory to finite evolution times and various initial states, thereby analytically and numerically characterizing the development of quantum correlations and the scaling behavior near the measurement-induced phase transition in two dimensions.
