This paper establishes a cavity-QED framework connecting hexagonal boron nitride color centers with hyperbolic phonon polaritons, demonstrating how single quantum emitters can serve as on-chip sources to generate, control, and mediate long-range interactions of confined mid-infrared polaritons for advanced quantum optics applications.
This paper demonstrates that irradiating a -wave altermagnet with elliptically polarized light induces a Chern insulating phase, characterized by distinct anomalous thermoelectric and thermal Hall effects that serve as sensitive probes of the system's topological properties.
This paper presents a compact, non-volatile XOR gate design utilizing a single straintronic magnetic tunnel junction and a CMOS device for signal restoration, achieving a footprint reduction and energy efficiency an order of magnitude better than traditional all-transistor implementations.
This paper presents a theoretical framework for a flux-tunable "Fraunhofer qubit" based on wide ballistic Josephson junctions, demonstrating that magnetic flux can transform the potential landscape to significantly enhance anharmonicity while maintaining charge-noise protection, thereby offering an optimized operating point for hybrid superconducting circuits.
This paper proposes a novel non-equilibrium thermal field model based on atomic spin flip probabilities that successfully reproduces ultrafast demagnetization across various grid sizes, overcoming the limitations of traditional micromagnetic models.
By synthesizing high-quality rutile OsO2 single crystals, researchers discovered that while the material is initially a paramagnetic metal, applying high pressure (44 GPa) induces a metal-insulator transition and drives a phase change into an altermagnetic state, demonstrating that external pressure can effectively tune its magnetic ground state.
This study reports the successful synthesis of bulk OsO2 single crystals that outperform commercial RuO2 nanopowder in oxygen evolution reaction efficiency and stability, challenging the universal applicability of nanoscaling by demonstrating that crystal integrity is a critical descriptor for robust electrocatalysis.
This paper demonstrates that -wave altermagnets exhibit spin-selective perfect elliptic dichroism and generate a leading-order, perfectly spin-polarized third-order nonlinear photocurrent driven by the anisotropy of their Dirac cones, offering a promising mechanism for future photo-excited spintronic applications.
This paper introduces a covariant rank-4 tensor gauge field theory that naturally generates fractonic string excitations and a novel generalized dipole conservation law through symmetry principles, while also revealing a deep connection to linearized area-metric gravity.
This paper demonstrates that introducing non-Hermitian dynamics into altermagnets and unconventional magnets generates novel, symmetry-dependent spin susceptibility components and selective spin gain/loss profiles, offering a new mechanism to manipulate spin accumulation through controlled dissipation.
