This review comprehensively introduces the geometrical formalism of strained moiré superlattices derived from linear elasticity theory, explores their application in various twisted 2D materials to predict special patterns, and summarizes recent experimental techniques for realizing and engineering these strain-induced geometries.
This paper presents a Lindblad-based framework for analyzing slowly driven many-qubit thermal machines, demonstrating that geometric heat pumping can surpass the non-interacting Landauer-like bound through qubit interactions and asymmetric bath couplings, thereby offering a pathway to optimize the performance of driven quantum heat engines.
This paper demonstrates that ultra-shallow Ge/SiGe heterostructures with thin SiGe capping layers, fabricated using low-temperature oxide processes to preserve superconducting compatibility, achieve low charge-noise levels comparable to deeper structures, making them a promising platform for prototyping hybrid semiconducting-superconducting devices.
This study introduces ultralight, three-dimensional "bird's-nest" scaffolds made from FeCoNiCrCu high-entropy alloy nanowires that achieve metal-like thermal and magnetic functionality at less than 1% of bulk density by co-engineering configurational entropy with structural porosity.
This study utilizes first-principles calculations and a coupled-Dirac-cone model to demonstrate that the topological nature and magneto-optical response of five-septuple-layer MnBiTe films are tunable and can switch between topological and trivial states depending on the relative spin orientations of the surface layers.
This paper proposes metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a versatile, designable platform for realizing the nonlinear Hall effect by mapping their electronic structures to a universal low-energy model where symmetry-breaking mechanisms generate Berry-curvature hotspots near the Fermi level.
This paper proposes an approximate mapping of molecular Hamiltonians to a system-bath model, where a two-orbital active space is encoded by two qubits and the remaining electronic excitations are modeled as a bosonic bath, enabling high-accuracy calculations of vertical excitation energies on near-term quantum computers.
This study utilizes magneto-Raman scattering to reveal how magnetic field tuning and layer thickness modulate the complex magnetic phase diagram and spin-lattice coupling in two-dimensional chromium oxychloride (CrOCl), identifying commensurate magnetic orders and significant magneto-strictive effects down to the single-layer limit.
This paper presents a finite-element method model capable of accurately simulating electrostatic patch forces in complex, realistic experimental geometries—including those with roughness, edges, and curvature—by utilizing Voronoi diagrams or Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy data to provide reliable estimates of parasitic forces relevant to Casimir force measurements and gravitational wave interferometers.
This paper demonstrates that applying commensurable two-tone Floquet drives to fluxonium qubits enhances coherence by creating tunable dynamical sweet spots with wider dephasing time peaks and enables improved phase gate performance compared to single-tone drives.
