This study demonstrates that Coulomb interaction between quantum dots coupled via spatially separated Majorana zero modes lifts destructive interference in the non-interacting limit, thereby unlocking robust Majorana-mediated electron teleportation and strong nonlocal correlations detectable through current cross-correlation noise.
This paper demonstrates that in 3D magnetic nanowires with azimuthal magnetization, the intrinsic topology of vortex-state domains creates an exchange-spring effect that robustly delays Walker breakdown, while curvature introduces a significant non-reciprocal delay dependent on the chirality of the domain relative to the domain wall's motion.
Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy on indium nanoislands on black phosphorus, this study reveals that asymmetric Coulomb blockade phenomena arise from work function differences in the junctions, establishing a quantitative link between junction-specific electrostatics and the observed dispersive charging resonances.
This paper investigates the emergence of non-quantized fractional topological invariants in open Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains governed by Lindblad dynamics, demonstrating that while these invariants lose conventional quantization, their total winding can be restored to integer values by extending the Brillouin zone, with observable signatures proposed for photonic lattices via Bloch state tomography.
This study experimentally validates the robustness of chiral edge states in Chern insulator MnBi2Te4 devices by demonstrating that quantized Hall transport persists even when the edge channel is severed by engineered geometric defects created via AFM nanomachining.
This study reveals that the dynamics of charge-density-wave puddles in 2-NbSe give rise to a novel Fano-coupled phonon-CDW hybrid mode, characterized by a low-frequency overdamped oscillation that emerges below 17 K and highlights the critical role of lattice pinning and electronic correlations in stabilizing incommensurate CDW order.
This paper proposes the spin-rotation quantum geometric tensor as a novel probe to experimentally access the intrinsic geometry of persistent spin textures by demonstrating that it generates a unique, direction-independent nonlinear gyrotropic current, thereby overcoming the limitations of conventional geometric measurements in these systems.
This paper reviews recent advancements in artificial flat band systems by focusing on the classification of flat band generators via compact localized states, the effects of disorder and many-body interactions, and the growing experimental realizations across diverse physical platforms.
This paper presents a diamond-based metal-insulator-metal campanile probe that adiabatically compresses mid-infrared light into sub-wavelength volumes, enabling high-efficiency, high-resolution mapping of locally driven photocurrents in graphene and offering a robust platform for exploring low-energy carrier dynamics in atomically thin materials.
This paper theoretically and numerically investigates light propagation in hyperuniform disordered photonic crystal slabs, revealing that intrinsic radiative loss (non-Hermiticity) fundamentally alters disorder scattering from a power-law dependence to a form dominated by a finite constant plus a modified power-law term, a finding validated through simulations with realistic parameters.
