This paper predicts a novel structure for low-lying discrete states in the odd-parity sector of a capacitively shunted superconducting qubit containing a trapped quasiparticle, revealing a spectrum fundamentally distinct from the conventional even-parity case across both Coulomb-dominated and Josephson-dominated regimes.
The SpinWaveToolkit is an open-source Python package that combines analytical and semi-analytical methods to efficiently model spin-wave dynamics and simulate Brillouin light scattering spectra in magnetic thin films and bilayers, offering a fast and versatile alternative to computationally intensive numerical simulations for magnonics research.
This paper demonstrates a silicon spin-qubit device utilizing coherent shuttling to achieve universal control and generate a five-qubit GHZ state, thereby enabling weight-four parity checks essential for advancing quantum error correction in sparse semiconductor arrays.
This paper proposes a novel mechanism for impurity screening in (1+1)d quantum critical systems by interpreting impurities as edge modes of symmetry-protected topological states, demonstrating that topological defect lines can screen impurities and generate exotic boundary conditions, a prediction confirmed through numerical analysis of a spin-1 chain with spin-1/2 impurities.
By combining scanning tunneling microscopy, first-principles calculations, and global symmetry analysis on bismuth crystals grown on superconducting V3Si, this study provides direct evidence of higher-order topological bulk-boundary correspondence through the observation of spin-helical hinge state loops and proximity-induced superconductivity, establishing bismuth as a promising platform for realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana quasiparticles.
This paper presents the first experimental observation of non-Hermitian dislocation bound states and dislocation-induced skin effects in two-dimensional acoustic Chern lattices, demonstrating how precision-controlled gain and loss enable the probing of non-Hermitian topology through lattice defects.
This theoretical study demonstrates that a cavity-coupled double quantum well in the large-electron regime exhibits a unique Schottky anomaly and a 0.5k_B plateau in heat capacity due to an emergent degree of freedom arising from a multi-minima photonic potential, a phenomenon that remains invisible in optical conductivity measurements.
This paper demonstrates that in sign-changing, fully gapped superconductors, the Fubini-Study metric of electronic Bloch wavefunctions governs the localization length of disorder-induced Andreev bound states, where an increased metric promotes delocalization and drives the system toward a gapless, dirty nodal superconductor state relevant to moiré graphene experiments.
Using first-principles calculations and model Hamiltonians, this study reveals that commensurate twisted transition-metal dichalcogenide homobilayers exhibit purely radial Rashba spin-orbit fields protected by in-plane 180° rotation symmetry, with field magnitudes and interlayer coupling strengths showing distinct dependencies on twist angle and supercell size.
This paper demonstrates that in particle-hole symmetric charged fluids, the charge diffusion constant exhibits a discontinuous dependence on noise strength due to a noncommuting zero-noise and zero-frequency limit, where weak noise can induce singular changes like superdiffusion through a mechanism of hydrodynamic recoupling that invalidates standard zero-noise extrapolations.
