Immittance formulas for exact blackbox quantization and divergence-free effective models in circuit QED

This paper presents simple, exact formulas for constructing Hamiltonians and divergence-free effective models for Josephson-junction-based superconducting qudits coupled to arbitrary passive linear environments, thereby extending blackbox quantization to multiport, dissipative, and nonreciprocal settings while eliminating spurious Lamb-shift divergences.

Electrical manipulation of oxygen stoichiometry in multiterminal YBa2_2Cu3_3O7δ_{7-\delta} junctions

This study demonstrates that electrical currents can be used to selectively and directionally manipulate oxygen stoichiometry in specific branches of a multiterminal YBa2_2Cu3_3O7δ_{7-\delta} device, enabling post-fabrication local tuning of superconducting properties through controlled oxygen vacancy migration.

Depth Control of Room-Temperature Quantum Emitters in Gallium Nitride

This paper identifies that naturally occurring quantum emitters in gallium nitride are confined near the substrate interface, limiting their optical coupling, and demonstrates that inserting a thin low-temperature GaN interlayer enables the precise, sub-60 nm depth control of bright, room-temperature quantum emitters, thereby overcoming integration barriers for efficient cavity-enhanced quantum emission.

Magneto-optical transport in type-I multi-Weyl semimetals in the presence of orbital magnetic moment

This paper investigates the linear and nonlinear magneto-optical transport in tilted type-I multi-Weyl semimetals using a semiclassical Boltzmann framework, deriving analytical expressions that reveal how orbital magnetic moment corrections generally suppress Berry curvature-induced conductivity while offering distinct experimental signatures of the materials' anisotropic dispersion and higher monopole charges.

Electric field tunable magnetoexcitons in Xenes-hBN-TMDC, Xenes-hBN-BP, and Xenes-hBN-TMTC heterostructures

This theoretical study proposes and analyzes novel van der Waals heterostructures combining Xenes with TMDCs, phosphorene, or TMTCs separated by hBN layers, demonstrating that their Rydberg indirect excitonic properties can be effectively tuned via external electric and magnetic fields, dielectric screening, and Floquet engineering to facilitate advanced optoelectronic and quantum device design.
