At cryogenic temperatures, organic single-photon sources (SPSs) offer Fourier-limited emission, virtually unlimited photostability, and emission wavelengths selectable by molecular design, making…Frame dependence of Kochen-Specker contextuality for relativistic spin systems
We ask whether Kochen-Specker contextuality is Lorentz invariant.A 75-mL intrinsically stable atom-filtered laser enabling deployable quantum devices
Numerous quantum devices require lasers strictly locked to atomic transitions.SHRAV: State-Hypothesis-Reason-Action-Verify Framework for Physical Modeling and Inverse Design

A new wavefront sensing framework based on the interference of counter-accelerating Airy beams is presented.Decoherence Tuning in Voltage-Driven Plasmonic Cavities
Strong light-matter coupling offers a powerful framework for modifying molecular structure, dynamics, and optical response, yet achieving this regime at the single-molecule level remains a central…A photonic integrated comb engine for ultracold quantum gases
Cold atoms underpin quantum sensing, simulation and computation, but their coherent control demands highly stable optical fields whose generation, referencing and power scaling remain formidable…Bridging two families of non-Hermiticity: from non-reciprocal couplings to an imaginary potential using the Lanczos transformation
Two types of non-Hermiticity found in physical systems, i.e., non-reciprocal couplings and complex potentials, have gained considerable interest recently.Imaging how fluctuations destroy superconductivity in two dimensions
Two-dimensional superconductors test our understanding of quantum phases.Resonant multi-harmonic acousto-optics for programmable frequency control of visible light in a CMOS platform
