Angle evolution of the superconducting phase diagram in twisted bilayer WSe2

This study resolves the apparent discrepancy between superconducting phase diagrams in twisted bilayer WSe2_2 at different twist angles by demonstrating a smooth evolution of superconductivity across the range, revealing its consistent proximity to Fermi surface reconstruction and antiferromagnetic ordering rather than specific singularities, thereby establishing the system as a versatile platform for investigating correlated phases.

Emergence and transition of incompressible phases in decorated Landau levels

This paper proposes decorated Landau levels (dLLs), formed by imposing an electrostatic delta potential lattice within a single Landau level, as a tunable theoretical framework and experimental platform for realizing robust, exotic interacting topological phases where Hall conductivity deviates from the filling factor due to complex Berry curvature distributions and suppressed band mixing.

Scaling atom-by-atom inverse design with nano-topology optimization and diffusion models

This paper introduces an atom-by-atom inverse design framework that integrates Nano-Topology Optimization with conditional diffusion models to overcome continuum limitations by explicitly accounting for crystal symmetry and surface physics, thereby enabling the discovery of high-performance metallic nanostructures like aluminum nanocantilevers and nanopillars.

Universal Scaling and Many-Body Resurrection of Polaritonic Double-Quantum Coherences

This paper establishes a universal scaling rule linking molecular anharmonicity, excitonic coupling, and Rabi splitting to demonstrate how intrinsic many-body interactions can resurrect genuine polaritonic double-quantum coherences in molecular ensembles, which are otherwise suppressed by collective cavity delocalization, thereby providing a predictive framework for engineering robust optical nonlinearities in J-aggregates.

Microwave-to-optical transduction using magnon-exciton coupling in a layered antiferromagnet

This paper demonstrates coherent, broadband microwave-to-optical transduction in the layered antiferromagnet CrSBr by leveraging strong magnon-exciton coupling at excitonic resonances, offering a scalable and efficient alternative to existing transducer technologies that often sacrifice performance for noise reduction or integrability.
