Visualizing flat-band spatial renormalization in rhombohedral graphene superlattices

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, this study visualizes moiré-induced spatial renormalization of flat bands in rhombohedral graphene/hBN superlattices, revealing that atomic-corrugation-driven charge redistribution creates hierarchical energy shifts that vanish below a ~10 nm moiré period, thereby establishing a critical link between moiré periodicity and the emergence of topological phases like the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect.

Beyond capillary condensation: Shear-induced bridging transitions in patterned slits

This paper investigates the equilibrium phase behavior of a fluid confined between two sheared patterned walls, revealing how the competition between capillary condensation and interface delocalization induces a rich phase diagram of shear-induced bridging transitions characterized by distinct pinning properties and large correlation lengths.

Hidden Information in Force Curves: Transient- and Brownian-Driven Dynamics

By utilizing high-bandwidth interferometric detection to analyze transient and Brownian-driven dynamics within force curves, this study reveals a previously overlooked mechanical contrast channel that enables pixel-by-pixel stiffness mapping and the time-resolved investigation of non-Markovian tip-sample interactions without requiring external excitation or multi-pass imaging.

Light-induced Magnetization by Quantum Geometry

This paper proposes a semiclassical mechanism for light-induced magnetization, specifically the inverse Faraday and Cotton-Mouton effects, arising from quantum geometric quantities like the quantum metric quadrupole and weighted quantum metric, thereby establishing a direct link between quantum geometry and nonlinear magneto-optical responses.

First-Principles AI finds crystallization of fractional quantum Hall liquids

The paper introduces MagNet, a self-attention neural-network variational wavefunction that, through first-principles energy minimization without external training data, successfully unifies the description of fractional quantum Hall liquids and electron crystals to determine their crystallization conditions under strong Landau-level mixing.

High Speed Contact-Resonance Tracking using Brownian motion

This paper introduces interferometric dual-AC resonance tracking (iDART), a technique that combines quadrature-phase differential interferometry with two-frequency resonance tracking to enable high-speed, pixel-resolved nanomechanical imaging by leveraging Brownian motion for resonance identification while using active electrical excitation to achieve the necessary signal-to-noise ratio.

Noise-Robust Spin-Orbit Qubit in Germanium Holes via p-Orbital Encoding

This paper proposes a noise-robust spin- $p$ -orbital qubit encoded in the $p$ -shell of a three-hole quantum dot within a Ge/SiGe heterostructure, which mitigates charge noise while enabling fast all-electrical control and two-qubit entangling gates via adiabatic shuttling.

Even-harmonic generation from topological edge states in generalized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models

This paper demonstrates that while midgap states in extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger and Rice-Mele models produce distinct spectral interference under global illumination, local illumination of topological edge states selectively suppresses odd harmonics to yield dominant even-harmonic generation due to the zero-energy character and particle-hole symmetry of the edge modes.

Estimating the Fisher information from ARPES in general two-band models

This paper proposes a scheme to estimate the Quantum Fisher Information in general two-band solid-state systems using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) with tuned incidence angles and light polarization, thereby linking measurable spectral data to ground-state sensitivity and quantum metric properties.
