Symmetry Analysis of the Non-Hermitian Electro-Optic Effect in Crystals

This paper employs symmetry analysis to demonstrate how crystal point group symmetry and external electric biases govern the non-Hermitian electro-optic effect driven by the Berry curvature dipole, enabling the engineering of linear dichroic optical gain and non-reciprocal responses in materials such as Weyl semimetals.

Anomalous diffusion and singular transport from hydrodynamic recoupling

This paper demonstrates that in quasi-one-dimensional charge-neutral fluids, weak noise induces a discontinuous transition from normal to superdiffusive charge transport through a mechanism called "hydrodynamic recoupling," where sound waves re-couple to charge fluctuations, thereby invalidating zero-noise extrapolation for predicting diffusion constants.

Finite-state automata for exact matrix product operators of tight-binding Hamiltonians: fractals, quasicrystals, trees and hyperbolic lattices

This paper introduces a systematic framework that utilizes finite-state automata to construct exact, logarithmically scaling matrix product operator representations of tight-binding Hamiltonians on recursively structured lattices, enabling efficient large-scale spectral calculations for diverse geometries including fractals, quasicrystals, and hyperbolic lattices.

Bias-driven circular currents in a quantum ring: Effects of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions

This study investigates bias-driven circular charge and spin currents in a quantum ring nanojunction using a tight-binding framework with non-equilibrium Green's function formalism, revealing how electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions, mapped via Lang-Firsov transformation and treated with Hartree-Fock mean-field theory, induce novel transport features and high spin polarization.
