This paper demonstrates that Floquet engineering using an off-resonant AC magnetic field can circumvent equilibrium no-go theorems to induce a quasiequilibrium superradiant phase transition in Landau polaritons, characterized by photon condensation and macroscopic matter polarization.
This paper analyzes mesoscopic electronic transport in Chern mosaics—regular patterns of domains with varying local Chern numbers found in moiré heterostructures—using a semi-classical approach to demonstrate that simple domain configurations can exhibit zero, integer, or fractional multiples of the quantum of resistance in both longitudinal and Hall responses.
This paper demonstrates a high-fidelity transmon reset method that utilizes a high-overtone bulk acoustic resonator (HBAR) as a physically distinct, intrinsically colder phononic bath to cool the qubit into GHz-frequency modes, achieving a residual excited-state population below and significantly outperforming existing reset schemes.
This review establishes a fluctuation-focused framework for controlling correlated quantum matter by engineering tailored electromagnetic fluctuations within cavity quantum materials, offering a design toolbox to manipulate phase boundaries and stabilize orders across diverse platforms while addressing key theoretical and experimental challenges.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that a square superconducting network decorated with spin-polarized magnetic adatoms can host a bulk-dissociated topological superconducting phase with unique features like nodal lines and co-existing edge and corner modes, achieved through geometric design without the need for spin-orbit coupling.
This study demonstrates that cubic boron nitride (cBN) exhibits room-temperature optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) signatures consistent with the charge-transfer-mediated spin pair mechanism previously identified in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), thereby confirming the material-agnostic potential of optical spin defect pairs for quantum sensing applications.
This paper presents a scalable nanofabrication platform utilizing atomic layer deposition to create sub-10 nm periodic nanolaminates that successfully induce quantum confinement effects in graphene, thereby enabling new regimes of nanoscale light-matter interactions for advanced optical and electronic applications.
This study experimentally establishes the Onsager reciprocity between orbital torque and orbital pumping in normal-metal/ferromagnet heterostructures, demonstrating a unified framework for the reciprocal conversion of charge, orbital, and spin angular momenta.
This paper predicts a giant, resonant nonlinear THz valley Hall effect in inversion-asymmetric 2D Dirac semiconductors, where crossed electric and magnetic fields induce sharp, polarity-switching photocurrents via a kinetic theory that accounts for orbital texture and skew scattering, offering a universal mechanism for frequency-selective valley current control in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides.
This paper proposes an ultrafast, all-optical switching and memory platform that exploits a bistable phase transition between a photon superfluid and a supersolid in a driven-dissipative microcavity, where tunable nonlocal interactions engineered by a drifting 2D electron gas enable high-contrast, sub-femtojoule operation with reconfigurable spatial ordering.
