Many-Body Non-Hermitian Skin Effect with Exact Steady States in the Dissipative Quantum Link Model
Article | Quantum Information, Science, and Technology | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Yu-Min Hu, Zijian Wang, Biao Lian, and Zhong Wang
We introduce a dissipative lattice gauge model that exhibits the many-body version of the non-Hermitian skin effect. The dissipative couplings between dynamical gauge fields on the lattice links and the surrounding environment generate chiral motions of particles residing on lattice sites. Despite t…

Distributed Quantum Multiparameter Estimation with Optimal Local Measurements
Article | Quantum Information, Science, and Technology | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Luca Pezzè and Augusto Smerzi
We study the multiparameter sensitivity bounds of a network of spatially distributed Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). A generic single nonclassical state is mixed with vacuums to create a -mode entangled state, each mode entering one input port of a MZI, while a coherent state enters its …

Quantum cnot Gate with Actively Synchronized Photon Pairs
Article | Quantum Information, Science, and Technology | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Haim Nakav, Tanim Firdoshi, Omri Davidson, Bankim Chandra Das, and Ofer Firstenberg
Controlling the synchronization of photons from probabilistic quantum sources plays a pivotal role in advancing efficient quantum information processing. We report the realization of a probabilistic entangling gate operating on actively synchronized photon pairs, using a quantum memory based on warm…

Covariant Dynamics from Static Spherically Symmetric Geometries
Article | Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Gravitation | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Cong Zhang and Zhoujian Cao
This work reveals a fundamental link between general covariance and Birkhoff's theorem. We extend Birkhoff's theorem from general relativity to a broad class of generally covariant gravity theories formulated in the Hamiltonian framework. Conversely, we show that each one-parameter family of static,…

Light Black Holes from Light
Article | Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Gravitation | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Don N. Page
Álvarez-Domínguez et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 041401 (2024)] have suggested that "it is not possible to concentrate enough light to precipitate the formation of an event horizon. We argue that the dissipative quantum effects coming from the self-interaction of light (such as vacuum polarization) a…

Experimental Measurement of the Reappearance of Rabi Rotations in Semiconductor Quantum Dots
Article | Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Lukas Hanschke, Thomas K. Bracht, Eva Schöll, David Bauch, Eva Berger, Patricia Kallert, Melina Peter, Ailton J. Garcia, Jr., Saimon F. Covre da Silva, Santanu Manna, Armando Rastelli, Stefan Schumacher, Doris E. Reiter, and Klaus D. Jöns
Phonons in solid-state quantum emitters play a crucial role in their performance as photon sources in quantum technology. For resonant driving, phonons dampen the Rabi oscillations, resulting in reduced state-preparation fidelities. The phonon spectral density, which quantifies the strength of the c…

Symmetry Classification for Alternating Excitons in Two-Dimensional Altermagnets
Article | Condensed Matter and Materials | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Jiayu David Cao (曹嘉宇), Konstantin S. Denisov, Yuntian Liu (刘云天), and Igor Žutić
Excitons, bound electron-hole states, often dominate the optical response of two-dimensional (2D) materials and reflect their inherent properties, including spin-orbit coupling, magnetic ordering, or band topology. By focusing on a growing class of collinear antiferromagnets with a nonrelativistic s…

Multiscale Explanation of the Missing Gallium Vacancy in Gallium Arsenide
Article | Condensed Matter and Materials | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
Leopoldo Diaz, Harold P. Hjalmarson, Jesse J. Lutz, and Peter A. Schultz
Irradiation of gallium arsenide (GaAs) produces immobile vacancies and mobile interstitials. Yet, after decades of experimental investigation, the immobile Ga vacancy continues to evade detection, raising the question: where is the Ga vacancy? Static first-principles calculations predict a Ga vacanc…

Spontaneous Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Polydisperse Achiral Near-Rigid Nematogens
Article | Polymers, Chemical Physics, Soft Matter, and Biological Physics | 2025-12-26 05:00 EST
W. S. Fall and H. H. Wensink
Understanding chirality transfer from the molecular to the macroscopic scale poses a significant challenge in soft and biological condensed matter physics. Many nanorods of biological origin not only have chiral molecular features but also exhibit a spread in contour length leading to considerable s…
