We review the current methods and results of lattice simulations of quantum chromodynamics at nonzero temperatures and densities. The review is intended to introduce the subject to interested nonspecialists and beginners. It includes a…

Rapid progress in the development of metasurfaces allowed to replace bulky optical assemblies with thin nanostructured films, often called metasurfaces, opening a broad range of novel and superior applications to the generation,…

Local domain structures of ferroelectrics have been studied extensively using various modes of scanning probes at the nanoscale, including piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), though none of these…

Critical behavior developed near a quantum phase transition, interesting in its own right, offers exciting opportunities to explore the universality of strongly-correlated systems near the ground state. Cold atoms in optical lattices, in…

Progress in electron-beam spectroscopies has recently enabled the study of optical excitations with combined space, energy and time resolution in the nanometer, millielectronvolt and femtosecond domain, thus providing unique access into…

Diamond quantum thermometry exploits the optical and electrical spin properties of colour defect centres in diamonds and, acts as a quantum sensing method exhibiting ultrahigh precision and robustness. Compared to the existing luminescent…

Over the past decade, holographic nanodiamond-polymer composite gratings have been developed and optimized as high-efficiency diffractive elements for very cold neutrons (VCN), for use as mirrors and beam splitters in a triple-Laue (LLL)…

A number of tools have been developed to detect topological phase transitions in strongly correlated quantum systems. They apply under different conditions, but do not cover the full range of many-body models. It is hence desirable to…

We provide a detailed description of the quantum interferometric thermometer, which is a device that estimates the temperature of a sample from the measurements of the optical phase. For the first time, we rigorously analyze the operation…

Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has gained broad interests in the field by extracting biological tissue properties, predominantly myelin, iron and calcium from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phase measurements in vivo. Thereby,…

Quantum hydrodynamic model (QHDM) has become a versatile and efficient tool for studying plasmonics at the nanoscopic length scale. Yet its application to noble metals has not been sufficiently justified, in particular for situations where…

Applications of cavity optomechanics span from gravitational wave detection to the study of quantum motion states in mesoscopic mechanical systems. The engineering of resonators supporting strongly interacting mechanical and optical modes…

Important progress in understanding the behavior of hadronic matter at high density has been achieved recently, by adapting the techniques of condensed matter theory. At asymptotic densities, the combination of asymptotic freedom and BCS…

Nanophotonics is an important branch of modern optics dealing with light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. Nanoparticles can exhibit enhanced light absorption under illumination by light, and they become nanoscale sources of heat that…

We use high-temperature series expansions to obtain thermodynamic properties of the quantum compass model, and to investigate the phase transition on the square and simple cubic lattices. On the square lattice we obtain evidence for a phase…

Charge transfer plasmon (CTP) modes arise when metallic nanoparticles are connected by a conductive junction. These ultatunable plasmonic modes can be actively tuned and broadly modulated from visible to IR regimes, implying their…

Accurate on-chip temperature sensing is critical for the optimal performance of modern CMOS integrated circuits (ICs), to understand and monitor localized heating around the chip during operation. The development of quantum computers has…

Intracellular chromophores (e.g., NADH and FAD) play a central role in regulation of cellular metabolism. Though autofluorescence has been extensively used for label-free mapping of chromophores inside a cell, its sensitivity and molecular…
