'pySNOW': a Python Suite for the NanO-World
In computational materials science, numerical simulations are indispensable tools for revealing atomic-scale processes.Multidimensional Light Detection with Symmetry-engineered Heterojunctions
Miniaturised multidimensional light detection, encompassing full-Stokes polarimetry and spectroscopy in ultracompact footprints, is attracting growing interest for its potential to capture a…A continuous-mode quantum-optical representation of finite strong-field laser pulses in free space
We formulate an energy-consistent quantum-optical representation of finite paraxial laser pulses in free space.Why Multi-Layer Message Passing Works: Completeness Theory for Graph Neural Network Interatomic Potentials
We prove that the Hypergraph Neural Network, an invariant architecture with 3-body message passing, is a universal approximator for potential energy surfaces.Design and Physical Constraints of Synthetic-Frequency Photonic Switching Fabrics
Electro-optic frequency conversion and synthetic-frequency coupling are established functions in integrated photonic devices.Probing Nonlinear Interactions of Dipolar Interlayer Excitons in MoSe$_2$/WSe$_2$ Heterobilayers
Interlayer excitons in transition-metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers possess intrinsic out-of-plane dipole moments, providing a platform for investigating exciton-exciton interactions at high…Photonic magnetism and altermagnetism without magnetic materials
Magnetism, a fundamental property of solids arising from the collective alignment of electronic spins of magnetic atoms, has recently been expanded by the discovery of altermagnetism, a…Completing or Refusing Low-Dimensional Records of Structured Quantum Circuits: Measurement Loss, Compression Loss, and Hardware Drift
Structured quantum circuits are often represented by low-dimensional records such as occupation numbers or constraint feasibility rather than by full outcome distributions.Optimization Landscape Geometry in VQE for Frustrated Quantum Spin Models
We benchmark eight classical optimizers for exact-statevector VQE calculations on a controlled hierarchy of frustrated spin models, ranging from a diagonal Ising glass to transverse-field Ising and…OpenMUSTANC (MUltiple Scattering Theory At Nanoplasmonic Cavities): A MATLAB toolbox for the simulation of Plasmonic Sphere Aggregates
Mesoscopic physical models, including the Hydrodynamic Drude Model (HDM), the Generalized Nonlocal Optical Response (GNOR) Model, and the Surface Response Model (SRM), have been proposed to…Emergence and suppression of phonon vortices in two-dimensional crystals: Interplay of lattice symmetry, heavy impurities, and shear
Phonon vortices are vortex-like displacement fields that appear in the vibrational modes of two- dimensional materials.Revealing antenna-molecule coupling using virtual gain from synthetic complex frequency analysis
Synthetic complex frequency waves (CFWs) enhance spectral and spatial resolution by compensating loss through virtual gain.Sensitivity Comparison of Microwave-Frequency and Optical Fibre Interferometry Based on State-of-the-Art Components
We compare the sensitivity of fibre interferometers to vibrations using microwave oscillators and state of the art lasers over distances up to 70 km.Universal unconventional responses controlled by ferroaxial order
Ferroaxial materials are an emerging class of ferroic materials that, in contrast to ferromagnets and ferroelectrics, are fully robust against stray fields, making them ideally suited for data…Universal tuning of Förster resonance energy transfer in gate-programmable conductor-dielectric-conductor heterostructures
We develop a quantum-electrodynamical theory for universal tuning of spontaneous emission and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in a material-agnostic conductor-dielectric-conductor…Cartesian tensor equivariant machine-learning force field for spin-dependent atomistic simulations
Magnetic materials exhibit an intricate coupling between atomic structure and spin degrees of freedom, posing a fundamental challenge for atomistic simulations across experimentally relevant length…Work Extraction Across a Thermodynamic Hierarchy in Quantum Many-Body Systems
Thermodynamics is operational in the sense that the very concept of thermal equilibrium depends crucially on the choice of observables, while the amount of extractable work is defined relative to…SCI-D$^2$NN: An Optimization Framework for OAM-Multiplexed FSO Communications
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing can increase the capacity of free-space optical (FSO) communications, but its detection performance is strongly affected by impairments such as…Learning Materials Properties from Scarce Labels and Unlabeled Crystals
Learning materials properties from scarce labels and unlabeled crystals is a central challenge for data-driven materials discovery.Experimental Observation of Mesoscopic Dynamic Fluctuations in Water-Alcohol Mixtures
We applied a dynamic fluctuation measurement method to liquid water-methanol mixtures over a wide range of compositions and temperatures.
