Strange metals challenge the 60-year-old theory that electric current consists of a flow of discrete charges. Strange metals show electricity carried by a quantum fluid rather than discrete electrons, challenging the long-standing Fermi liquid…

Different factors control long-term versus short-term outcomes for bacterial colonisation of a urinary catheter
Mathematical model for catheter colonisation
Our model consists of four parts: the outside surface of the catheter, the bladder, the urine flow within the catheter, and the luminal (inside) surface of the catheter (Fig. 1). We model bacterial…

Correlated fermionic-bosonic insulating states in twisted hetero-trilayer semiconductors
Charge-layer-locked trions in twisted WSe2/WS2/WSe2 hetero-trilayers
Twisted WSe2/WS2/WSe2 hetero-trilayer structures were chosen to realize the target CLL trions because of the following two important reasons. First, this symmetric trilayer…

Gapless dispersive continuum in a modulated quantum kagome antiferromagnet
Growth of Cs8RbK3Ti12F48 single crystals and crystal structure determination
Single crystals of Cs8RbK3Ti12F48 were grown using alkali metal chlorides as flux. For starting materials, alkali metal fluorides and chlorides were dried, and TiF3 was…

Influence of particle size and dielectric environment on radiative lifetimes of colloidal cadmium selenide single photon emitters
Imaging of CdSe QDs
The spin-coated film of monodispersed CdSe QDs in PMMA polymer matrix is imaged using the confocal microscope setup. A sample image of the QDs from an area of 16 \(\upmu \hbox {m}^2\) is shown in Fig. 3. The average diameter…

Real-space chirality from crystalline topological defects in the Kitaev spin liquid
Summary of results
In this work we investigate the chirality contribution of isolated 5–7 dislocations in Kitaev’s model. By defining Kitaev bond label configurations that preserve exact solvability even in the presence of dislocations (Fig.

Exploring quantum control landscape and solution space complexity through optimization algorithms and dimensionality reduction
We can study the QCL generated when using SGD, GA, QL, DQN and PPO for N-parameter optimization using (5). In order to generate the QCLs as a function of fidelity, we run 1000 experiments for each algorithm, hence generated 1000 data-points, we…

Physicists uncover hidden order in the quantum world through deconfined quantum critical points
In the intricate world of quantum physics, where particles interact in ways that seem to defy the standard rules of space and time, lies a profound mystery that continues to captivate scientists: the nature of deconfined quantum critical points…
