Magnetoelastic signatures of thermal and quantum phase transitions in a deformable Ising chain under a longitudinal and transverse magnetic field

This paper investigates a deformable spin-1/2 Ising chain under magnetic fields, revealing that longitudinal fields induce discontinuous thermal phase transitions with hysteresis, whereas transverse fields drive a continuous quantum phase transition, with both scenarios exhibiting distinct anomalies in magnetic and elastic properties.

Operational Emergence of a Global Phase under Time-Dependent Coupling in Oscillator Networks

This paper establishes an operational criterion for the emergence of a well-defined global phase in time-dependent oscillator networks, demonstrating that phase robustness depends on the competition between coupling strength and ramp rates, with spectral properties governing synchronization in random networks while topological defects induce persistent partial ordering in spatial lattices.

Quantum geometry from the Moyal product: quantum kinetic equation and non-linear response

This paper systematically derives a dissipationless quantum kinetic equation for multi-band free fermionic systems using the Moyal product formalism to fully band-diagonalize dynamics and analyze second-order gradient corrections, revealing the critical role of quantum geometric tensors in band-resolved thermodynamics, nonlinear transport, and density-density response functions.

Absolute negative mobility in a one-dimensional overdamped system driven by active fluctuations

This paper demonstrates that absolute negative mobility, a paradoxical phenomenon where a system moves opposite to an applied force, can occur in a minimal one-dimensional overdamped system driven by active Poisson shot noise within a symmetric periodic potential, offering new insights into biological transport and microscopic separation strategies.

Density of reflection resonances in one-dimensional disordered Schrödinger operators

This paper develops an analytic approach linking the density of complex resonance poles to the distribution of reflection coefficients at complex energies, yielding explicit formulas for the crossover from narrow to broad resonances in both semi-infinite and short one-dimensional disordered samples, and validating these results against numerical simulations of the Anderson tight-binding model.

Entanglement Barriers from Computational Complexity: Matrix-Product-State Approach to Satisfiability

This paper demonstrates that the failure of the quantum-inspired Matrix Product State approach to solve 3-SAT via imaginary time propagation is fundamentally caused by classical computational complexity, specifically the hardness of the #3-SAT counting problem, which manifests as an entanglement barrier and necessitates superlinear non-stabilizer resources.

Integrability of Goldilocks quantum cellular automata

This paper demonstrates that a specific subclass of Goldilocks quantum cellular automata is integrable and mappable to free fermions through two distinct proofs, enabling classical simulation and providing a tunable parametric circuit for testing quantum hardware, while contrasting these with typically non-integrable variants that still conserve a quantity useful for error mitigation.

AKLT Hamiltonian from Hubbard tripods

This paper demonstrates that the spin-1 AKLT Hamiltonian can be realized in tunable quantum-dot arrays by deriving an effective bilinear-biquadratic spin model from half-filled Hubbard tripods, where specific hopping parameters and coupling geometries yield the characteristic singlet-triplet degeneracy while suppressing unwanted longer-range interactions.

Floquet scars and prethermal fragmentation in a driven spin-one chain

This paper investigates the periodic dynamics of a driven spin-one chain with Z2Z_2-valued conserved quantities, revealing a rich phase diagram that includes quantum many-body scar states at high frequencies, ergodic thermalization at lower frequencies, and distinct regimes of prethermal strong and weak Hilbert space fragmentation at specific drive frequencies.

State-Selective Signatures of Quantum and Classical Gravitational Environments

This paper proposes a unified framework demonstrating that the structural difference in decoherence—specifically, the preservation of coherence within the lowest phonon-number manifold by a quantized graviton bath versus its inevitable destruction by a classical stochastic gravitational field—provides an operational criterion for distinguishing the quantum or classical nature of gravitational waves using mesoscopic optomechanical systems.
