Explore the fascinating intersection where quantum materials meet the complexity of everyday environments in the Cond-Mat — Mes-Hall section. This field investigates how tiny particles behave when caught between the orderly world of single atoms and the chaotic nature of bulk matter, revealing the hidden rules that govern electricity, magnetism, and heat in novel substances.

This paper demonstrates that coinciding exceptional points with dissipative phase transitions in an extended open Dicke model strongly amplifies critical fluctuations and modifies critical exponents, establishing exceptional points as a mechanism to engineer critical scaling for applications in quantum sensing.
This paper proposes a scheme for generating self-sustained two-dimensional vibrations in a movable Cooper-pair box by harnessing inelastic Andreev tunneling within an adiabatic limit, where the system's nonlinearity naturally saturates the amplitude without requiring external feedback.
This paper establishes a geometric characterization of the non-Hermitian skin effect by demonstrating that the localization length scale is encoded in the quantum metric derived solely from right eigenstates, which exhibits power-law divergences at gapless points and discontinuities signaling generalized Brillouin zone cusps.
This study reports the successful synthesis of high-quality single-crystalline SnSe nanosheets via a NaCl-assisted chemical vapor deposition method, which exhibit both ferroelectricity and weak ferromagnetism with a Curie temperature of approximately 120 K, establishing a controllable route for investigating their multiferroic properties.
This paper demonstrates that relative motion between two boundary subsystems coupled to a common structured environment activates a kinematic threshold for irreversible correlated decoherence by enabling Doppler-shifted spectral overlap, thereby establishing a direct link between motion-induced excitation production and excess correlated dephasing.
This paper develops a general quantum theory of Sondheimer oscillations in thin films, demonstrating that unlike Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations where topology affects only the phase, band topology directly modifies the oscillation frequency, thereby establishing quantum Sondheimer oscillations as a robust probe for the full Landau level spectrum.
This paper investigates local topological markers in Chern insulators with partial translational symmetry, demonstrating their effectiveness in characterizing boundary behaviors and disorder in ribbon geometries while successfully extracting critical scaling exponents for the Kibble-Zurek mechanism.
This paper presents a theoretical model describing how laser-heated nanoparticles in viscous fluids generate acoustic waves through coupled thermophone and mechanophone mechanisms, revealing that fluid viscosity and interfacial thermal resistance critically govern the frequency-dependent transition between these effects and the resulting acoustic attenuation for theranostic applications.
This paper formulates a stochastic framework for entropy production in coherent scattering transport by distinguishing between information and thermodynamic entropy changes via a two-point measurement scheme, thereby unifying stochastic thermodynamics with Landauer-Büttiker transport theory and enabling the analysis of general entropy currents and their fluctuations.
This paper reviews recent non-perturbative developments in characterizing, classifying, and detecting crystalline symmetry-protected topological invariants in two-dimensional strongly interacting quantum many-body systems, with a focus on lattice translation and rotation symmetries in both integer and fractional Chern insulators.
