Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) magnetic semiconductors CrSBr offer an ideal platform to achieve exciton-polaritons correlated with magnetic orders for developing solid-state quantum, spintronic, and photonic devices. However, for the…
Global symmetry anomalies of a quantum field theory (QFT) can be packaged as specific couplings of a higher-dimensional symmetry theory (SymTh). In this work we show that for 5D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) engineered from M-theory…
Non-singular gravitational theories are expected to be relevant in the early universe. In this paper, we derive a set of effective Friedmann equations describing the dynamics of matter shells in the presence of a gravitational regulator…
Electron doped rhombohedral multilayer graphene at high displacement field features an exceptionally flat band minimum with near-ideal quantum geometry. Experiments in this regime observe the formation of a 'quarter metal,' in which the…
Galaxy redshift surveys encode a wealth of information generated by nonlinear gravitational evolution, galaxy bias, and redshift-space distortions, only part of which is accessible through standard two-point statistics. Motivated by the…
We develop a straightforward analytical framework for the propagation of spatial light modes through a turbulent atmosphere. Built upon the split-step approach with the mode-based optical field representation, it directly assesses how…
It is well known from classical physics that weakly coupled self-sustained oscillators may spontaneously lock their phases. Just like classical synchronization is known to break down due to noise induced phase slips, we show here how the…
We establish improved sample-complexity bounds for sample-based Lindbladian simulation based on the Wave Matrix Lindbladization (WML) algorithm. For a jump operator $L$ with dimension $d$, we derive an explicit non-asymptotic sample…
The bilayer Ruddlesden-Popper nickelate $\mathrm{La_3Ni_2O_7}$ has emerged as a promising platform for exploring and understanding high-temperature superconductivities. While most prior doping studies have focused on hole doping via…
Molecular magneto-optical traps (MOTs) typically capture orders of magnitude fewer particles than their atomic counterparts due in part to their significantly lower capture velocities. Here, we employ a Stochastic Schr\"odinger Equation…
A Kondo insulator (KI) is a prototypical example of a highly entangled phase of matter, where many-body interactions between local moments and delocalized electrons engender the non-magnetic insulating ground state. Conventionally, the…
Objectives: We captured a fine-grained dataset of organic socializing with socially meaningful group labels to fill a gap in the study of face-to-face interaction. Prior interaction data from conferences, classrooms, hospitals, and…
Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) are a leading technology in the search for sub-GeV dark matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. A key background for rare-event searches with these detectors arises from…
Self-dual theories, being UV-finite, should have their own AdS/CFT dualities. Higher-spin extensions of self-dual theories are attractive to simplify the CFT duals. The maximal self-dual theory is Chiral higher-spin gravity, which should be…
Synchronization, a ubiquitous phenomenon in classical systems, has recently been extended to the quantum domain. Here, we show quantum synchronization of a bosonic mode exhibiting a Fock state-like limit cycle, manifesting as a steady state…
We examine the intrinsic physical-chemical properties of the conjugated ladder-type polymer poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline) (BBL) in response to electron transfer. We aim at explaining the origin of the anti-ambipolar behavior behind…
We analyze the effect of microscopic heterogeneity on the Lorenz curve of macroscopic observables. Lorenz curve of a response function being a cumulative and bounded quantity, is often a more stable function than the corresponding…
In this work, we compare three qubit-mapping strategies to study the structure of the nuclear ground state within the shell model description employing the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) approach. Although the initial point for…
The existence of a landscape of metastable vacua raises the possibility that our Universe may have undergone quantum vacuum decay at late times. This work explores how such a transition can be tested with cosmological observables, focusing…
In this letter, we establish a complete correspondence between the Newman--Penrose and 1+1+2 semitetrad covariant formalisms by expressing all Newman--Penrose spin coefficients, Ricci scalars, and Weyl scalars in terms of the scalar,…
