Valley coherence refers to a phase-coherent superposition of inequivalent momentum valleys, in which quantum information can be encoded in the relative valley phase. Chiral nematic liquid crystals, by imposing a flip of the spin angular…
Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a spatially developing supersonic turbulent shear layer are conducted for a range of convective Mach numbers ($M_c$) and velocity parameters ($\lambda$) to examine the effects of compressibility and…
Solar filament oscillations provide important diagnostics of prominence magnetic structure and stability, but their detection in long H\alpha archives has traditionally relied on visual inspection, manually placed slits, and time--distance…
A diamond Schottky PIN diode (SPIND) with the highest reported current density to date of ~116 kA/cm2 is demonstrated carrying a total current of ~1.3 A through a 50 micron wide pseudo-vertical diode structure. The diamond SPIND also…
Weaving patterns in fabrics, traditionally used for aesthetic purposes, present a largely untapped opportunity to create metamaterials that serve as passive layers for sensing, filtering, and signal processing. However, the hierarchical…
We present the organisation and early results from the Observatory Science program of the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM), based on data collected between July 2024 and December 2025. Although primarily…
Following its launch on 22 June 2024, the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) successfully completed its flight acceptance, commissioning, and scientific validation phases in early 2025, during which several…
Quantum metrological advantage is certified by averaged Fisher responses: contrast, susceptibility, or quantum Fisher information (QFI). This fails in quenched sensors, where slow environmental variables freeze within a session but vary…
Interacting spin chains and ladders are known to support a plethora of quantum phases with complex ground-state phase diagrams. In this work, we study a large family of such models and determine precise, explicit conditions under which an…
While imaginary-time evolution has long served as a standard paradigm for ground-state preparation in numerical simulations and quantum devices, its intrinsic dynamical properties has been largely overlooked. Here, we investigate the…
The nature of $\phi(2170)$ remains open. We simulate its production in $e^+e^-$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=4.95$ GeV using PACIAE 4.0, which sequentially generates the final partonic state (FPS) and the final hadronic state (FHS). While…
We show that combining quantum error detection (QED) with probabilistic error cancellation (PEC) gives more accurate and lower-variance estimates than PEC alone, provided that the symmetry measurements required for QED are carefully chosen.…
Wave scattering by localized constraints in microstructured solids is strongly influenced by the interplay of material length scales, dispersion and geometry. This work investigates plane-strain scattering of time-harmonic P and SV waves by…
We study one- and two-magnon excitations above the fully polarized state of the spin-$1/2$ triangular-lattice $J_1$-$J_2$-$J_3$ Heisenberg model with an additional uniform scalar-chirality interaction. In the one-magnon sector of the…
Moir\'e superlattices host narrow minibands whose bandwidth governs correlated and topological phases. Here, we demonstrate that the bandwidth also sets the critical current for the onset of out-of-equilibrium transport. In bilayer graphene…
The Type I super-luminous supernova SN~2024jlc (ZTF24aapadbb) exploded on the 25th of May 2024 at $z = 0.039$. Being the closest supernova of this class discovered in recent years and one of the closest ever, represented a rare opportunity…
The breathing mode in Kagome materials is a structural modulation that breaks inversion symmetry and has been shown to be a crucial source for intriguing phases in the normal state. In this work, we carry out a full classification of…
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), with its unprecedented sensitivity, frequency coverage, and large collecting area, is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Cosmic Dawn (CD) and Epoch of Reionization (EoR) epochs marking the…
The Earth's ionosphere introduces systematic effects that limit the performance of radio interferometers operating at low frequencies ($\lesssim 1$\,GHz). These ionospheric effects intensify during periods of heightened geomagnetic activity…
$\eta$-pairing symmetry generalizes the pairing mechanisms in superconductivity but is broken in the presence of interlayer interactions. In this work, we extend this approach to triplet pairs. We propose interlayer triplet-pairing…
