This paper introduces cell natural orbitals (CNOs), a systematic method derived from the unit-cell one-particle reduced density matrix, to identify optimal local orbitals that accurately capture band geometry and charge density for constructing effective lattice models of correlated quantum materials like twisted bilayer WSe.
This paper demonstrates the theoretical realization of at- degenerate hybrid bound states in the continuum with high-order topological charges and quadratic band degeneracy in symmetric periodic photonic structures above the diffraction limit, achieved by combining symmetry protection with parameter tuning to suppress radiation across all diffraction channels.
This paper demonstrates that scanning NV magnetometry can achieve ~50 nm resolution imaging of both static and microwave fields generated by magnetic vortices in permalloy structures, revealing disorder-dependent evanescent decay and a 40-fold field enhancement while surpassing the resolution of diffraction-limited techniques and offering greater accessibility than synchrotron-based methods.
This paper presents a real-time, high-bandwidth FPGA-based gradient-descent feedback system using rf-reflectometry on a silicon double quantum dot that achieves 5 kHz noise suppression, significantly enhancing long-term device stability for scalable quantum computing.
This paper reveals that cleaving obstructed atomic insulators generates higher-order topological states with e/2 fractional charges and corner zero modes, driven by the specific directional exposure and anisotropic evolution of dangling bonds acting as a Dirac mass term.
This paper proposes and analyzes a gate-tunable four-state model of a WSe2/WS2 moiré exciton manifold to demonstrate that geometric phonon energy pumping can be robustly isolated from dynamic backgrounds and significantly enhanced in detectability through nonuniform driving and optimized environmental parameters.
This study utilizes in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction to establish a precise high-pressure high-temperature processing window for nanodiamonds containing silicon-vacancy centers, identifying specific graphitization thresholds that enable strain-relieving annealing to improve optical properties without inducing phase transformation.
This paper demonstrates that cathodoluminescence interferometry enables time-resolved characterization of optical resonances in dielectric and plasmonic nanostructures with femtosecond resolution, providing simultaneous access to spectral, spatial, and phase information without the need for ultrafast pump-probe schemes.
This paper provides conclusive experimental evidence that cathodoluminescence signals from different lateral regions of an extended electron beam are mutually incoherent, whereas signals from distinct plasmonic scatterers within a single electron's evanescent field are coherent, offering a pathway to recover coherence through correlation measurements that erase electron trajectory information.
This paper demonstrates that embedding a WS2 excitonic layer within a metal-clad waveguide significantly enhances the coupling strength between photonic modes and excitons, thereby modifying the dispersion properties of Fabry-Perot and guided wave self-hybridized exciton polaritons to enable robust control over exciton-photon interactions.
