Using ultrafast sub-wavelength extreme ultraviolet imaging, researchers demonstrated that magnetic domain walls in ferro- and ferrimagnetic thin films remain remarkably stable in position, shape, and width even during up to 50% ultrafast demagnetization, revealing the localized nature of photoinduced demagnetization and offering new insights for all-optical magnetic control.
This study reports the first experimental observation of disorder-induced average symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in a disordered Rydberg atom array, confirming the existence of topologically protected edge modes and ground state degeneracy through spatially resolved correlation functions and quench dynamics.
This paper establishes a theoretical framework demonstrating that an ensemble of solid-state spin defects coupled to a shared magnetic bath can deterministically generate non-classical, many-body quantum magnonic states by preserving the emitters' inherent quantum correlations.
This paper reports the theoretical discovery of algebraically localized eigenstates embedded within the continuum (AICs) in two-dimensional non-Hermitian systems with a single impurity, a phenomenon forbidden in both Hermitian and one-dimensional non-Hermitian systems, and proposes a local density of states as a method for their experimental detection.
This paper demonstrates that accounting for finite-size effects through a microscopic polaron transform is essential for accurately determining quantum Fisher information in strongly coupled spin chains, revealing that phenomenological approaches fail to capture the true metrological potential for low-temperature thermometry and anisotropy-controlled magnetometry.
This paper demonstrates that frequency dispersion in dielectric systems generates a frequency-domain Berry curvature in photon wave functions, which induces trajectory deflection and swinging during the time refraction of magnetoplasmon-polaritons.
This paper employs a semi-classical large- expansion to demonstrate how out-of-plane magnetic fields and Berry curvature modify Wigner crystal exchange interactions through Aharonov-Bohm and Berry phases acquired during multi-particle tunneling along complex trajectories in coordinate and momentum space, respectively, with potential applications to rhombohedral multilayer graphene.
Motivated by recent experiments on multiterminal Josephson junctions, this paper proposes a model for the intermediate bias regime that treats the central normal metal as a continuum with nonequilibrium electronic populations, predicting characteristic voltage scales that govern mesoscopic critical current oscillations and bridge interpretations across quartet, topological, and Floquet physics.
This paper demonstrates that the universal linear tunnel magnetoconductance across Weyl semimetal grain boundaries remains robust against interface disorder, with its slope transitioning from a topological value determined by Fermi arcs at high magnetic fields to a geometric value based on Weyl-node pair counts at low fields, thereby explaining the observed robustness of negative linear magnetoresistance in grained Weyl semimetals.
This paper demonstrates that in a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, even relatively weak long-range interactions with a sufficiently large decay range can trigger topological phase transitions, offering a new mechanism for controlling topological phases.
