This paper introduces a moment Fisher hierarchy to quantify the readout complexity of many-body quantum sensors, revealing that nonlinear dynamics can preserve high quantum Fisher information while shifting the optimal measurement into high-rank tensor sectors that are inaccessible to low-order collective observables.
This paper demonstrates that the Doppler effect can be simulated in static materials by employing a network of direction-dependent waveguides to create field patterns equivalent to moving sources, thereby enabling the design of static analogues for vortices, black holes, and wormholes.
This review highlights the critical role of molecular beam epitaxy in synthesizing ultra-high conductivity oxide thin films, enabling the discovery of novel electronic properties essential for advancing future technologies like low-loss interconnects, spintronics, and quantum devices.
This study employs first-principles calculations to demonstrate that isovalent Mo and W doping under Cr-rich conditions, facilitated by intrinsic defects like Cr interstitials and oxygen vacancies, effectively enhances the exchange interaction and offers a promising pathway for increasing the Néel temperature of CrO for improved magnetoelectric device performance.
This study utilizes polarization-resolved Raman scattering on ErTe to demonstrate that mirror-symmetry breakings in the charge density wave state arise from a single-component order parameter, while the absence of significant ferro-axial fluctuations above the transition temperature challenges the hypothesis of a ferro-axial CDW state.
This paper demonstrates a strategy to drive topological edge states into vortex bound states in 2M-WS superconducting rings by tuning the coherence length relative to the annulus width, a transition confirmed by Little-Parks oscillations and simulations that offers new insights for flux manipulation in topological quantum computing.
This study demonstrates that biaxial tensile strain effectively tunes the van Hove singularity to the Fermi level in monolayer CsTiBi, resulting in a dome-shaped superconducting transition temperature that peaks at 3.6 K under 2% strain.
By integrating machine-learning-accelerated simulations with impedance spectroscopy, this study establishes a design framework for molecular coatings on sulfide solid electrolytes, revealing that intermediate-length lithiated carboxylate chains optimally balance moisture protection and ionic conductivity by forming dense, hydrophobic layers that suppress degradation while maintaining Li-ion transport.
This paper investigates the dynamical properties of the partially disordered phase in frustrated heavy-fermion systems, revealing that successive quantum phase transitions are driven by triplon condensation and characterized by the hybridization of magnons and triplons.
This study combines Kelvin probe force microscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, density functional theory, and model Hamiltonian calculations to demonstrate that isolated macrocyclic emeraldine molecules donate one electron to Au(111) and FeCl substrates but two electrons to a superconducting NbSe surface, thereby establishing a robust methodology for quantifying charge transfer across diverse material interfaces.
