This paper presents a dynamical analysis of finite-time braiding operations for Majorana zero modes in topological nanowires, deriving time-dependent gate elements for both adiabatic and non-adiabatic shuttling methods to bridge the gap between physical qubit systems and universal fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.
This paper introduces a Minkowski-space modeling framework that treats the complex wave propagation in hyperbolic materials as a geometric effect, enabling the rational design of ultra-high-resolution lenses with deep sub-diffraction focusing capabilities.
This paper presents a first-principles framework using ab initio transmission line model simulations to characterize metal/2D-semiconductor interfaces, revealing universal tunneling limits and identifying optimal contact strategies for next-generation 2D transistors as devices approach the sub-2 nm technology node.
This paper utilizes composite boson theory to map the crystallization of two-dimensional electron systems in magnetic fields to bosonic phases, demonstrating that sufficiently soft rotons drive first-order transitions from Hall liquids to Hall crystals and subsequent continuous transitions to Wigner crystals, with the critical behavior described by free Dirac fermions and lattice preferences shifting from triangular to honeycomb structures in fractional regimes due to kinetic frustration.
This paper reports the discovery of spatiotemporal magnonic vortex beams in ferromagnetic nanostrips that feature immobile phase dislocations, zigzag wave propagation, and spatially alternating transverse orbital angular momentum, distinguishing them from their photonic and acoustic counterparts.
This paper proposes a material-agnostic platform using gate-tunable two-dimensional conductors to universally control quantum electrodynamic interactions, enabling in situ electrical tuning of their range and strength from bulk power laws to exponential screening or logarithmic antiscreening by manipulating the reflection phase of transverse cavity harmonics.
This paper proposes a novel, non-destructive experimental approach using laser-induced ballistic hot electron injection in nanoparticle-on-mirror nanocavities to achieve ultrafast, non-equilibrium modulation of quantum plasmonic properties, supported by a microscopic model and numerical simulations for applications in active plasmonics and nanoscale quantum control.
This paper investigates the topological content of the Zak phase in one-dimensional topological insulators across all Altland-Zirnbauer-Cartan symmetry classes, demonstrating how to construct a -valued invariant from the Zak phase while revealing that quaternionic structures imposed by specific anti-unitary symmetries force this invariant to vanish.
This paper proposes a biophotomimetic nonreciprocal quantum battery model inspired by bacterial light-harvesting complexes, utilizing collective quantum states and a unimodal cavity to analyze thermodynamic performance, revealing that while strong coupling enhances energy storage capacity, it compromises power output and alters the optimal system size for ergotropy.
This study demonstrates that low-frequency noise serves as a sensitive probe for microscopic disorder in CVD-grown graphene, revealing that its significantly higher magnitude compared to exfoliated graphene stems from thermally activated dynamics of structural imperfections like grain boundaries and defects.
