Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with intense mid-infrared pumping, researchers demonstrate that bulk graphite exhibits robust, light-induced Floquet gaps and coherent sidebands that persist despite interlayer coupling and photo-excitation, establishing it as a viable platform for manipulating Dirac fermions and engineering quantum phases.
This study reports the first direct experimental observation of a light-induced Floquet hybridization gap in monolayer graphene using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, confirming the existence of Floquet topological phases and revealing their momentum anisotropy and tunability via light polarization.
This paper establishes a universal topological dichroism in chiral 3D systems where integer-quantized excitation rate differences arise from the coupling of optical chirality to higher tensor Berry curvatures and Dixmier-Douady invariants, proposing superchiral light as a definitive experimental probe for previously unobserved chiral electronic band topologies.
This study demonstrates that ZnO/MgZnO quantum wells can host intersubband polarons with unprecedented ultrastrong coupling strengths, reaching up to 1.5 times the LO-phonon frequency and enabling a regime where the upper polaron branch frequency is three times that of the bare intersubband transition.
This study combines high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and first-principles calculations to systematically identify five types of native atomic defects in the type-II Dirac semimetal NiTe2, revealing how synthesis conditions influence defect formation and how these defects can be manipulated to tune the material's electronic and topological properties.
This paper proposes fast, bidirectional quantum transfer protocols in multidomain SSH chains and Creutz ladders that eliminate the exponential time scaling of traditional methods, thereby significantly enhancing speed, error resilience, and all-to-all connectivity for quantum information processing.
This study characterizes the hexagonal, two-sublayer structure and unique electronic properties of a newly discovered AlSe surface alloy on Al (111), highlighting its potential as a large-scale, atomically flat interface with a wide band gap for two-dimensional material applications.
This paper employs bosonization to investigate weakly interacting one-dimensional topological insulators, demonstrating that chiral symmetry protects edge state degeneracy, that topological indices are determined by inter-chain coupling types, and that general topological phases with index are equivalent at low energies to theories of at least Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains.
This paper demonstrates the first deterministic single-photon emission at the telecom wavelength of 1500 nm from droplet-etched InGaSb/AlGaSb quantum dots by combining antimonide-based materials with advanced excitation techniques to resolve excitonic fine structure and enable high-quality quantum light sources for fiber-optic networks.
Inspired by recent developments in electron chirality, this paper bridges condensed matter, quantum chemistry, and particle physics by deriving the non-relativistic limits of Dirac bilinears to identify overlooked microscopic physical quantities and their conjugate electromagnetic fields, thereby enabling the *ab initio* quantification of chirality and axiality in low-symmetry materials for electromagnetic control.
