Medium-Throughput Evaluation of Quantum Geometry-Driven Topological Transports in Altermagnets

This study employs a medium-throughput first-principles workflow to systematically evaluate quantum geometry-driven topological transport properties, including the anomalous Hall effect, magneto-optical Kerr effect, and bulk photovoltaic effect, across 135 altermagnets to establish a symmetry-guided route for identifying experimentally accessible functional fingerprints.

Bose-Einstein condensation and collective Bogoliubov excitations of microwave photons in superconducting quantum electrodynamics circuits

This paper reports the first experimental observation of Bose-Einstein-like condensation and collective Bogoliubov excitations of microwave photons in a superconducting circuit, demonstrating how strong coherent pumping induces hybridized photon-qubit modes and bistability that are quantitatively explained by a Gross-Pitaevskii framework.

Analysis of Fully-Heavy and Hidden-Heavy Tetraquarks in Anisotropic Plasma Using the Generalized Fractional Derivatives

This study employs the parametric generalized fractional Nikiforov-Uvarov technique to solve the radial Schrödinger equation with a screened, anisotropic Cornell potential, revealing that fully-heavy and hidden-heavy tetraquarks exhibit enhanced binding and stability in anisotropic plasma, particularly at lower fractional orders and temperatures, while providing mass spectra consistent with prior theoretical models.

A unified rate-dependent anisotropic hysteresis model for grain-oriented, non-oriented, and directional electrical steels

This paper presents a unified vector Fokker--Planck model that accurately predicts rate-dependent anisotropic hysteresis in grain-oriented, non-oriented, and directional electrical steels using a single parameter set, overcoming the limitations of existing scalar laws and achieving significantly improved accuracy across multiple frequencies and orientations.
