Entanglement enhancement induced by noise in inhomogeneously monitored systems

Cristiano Muzzi, Mikheil Tsitsishvili, and Giuliano Chiriacò

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014312 (2025) - Published 22 January, 2025

Noise is usually seen as an obstacle to quantum coherence, but the authors uncover here a surprising phenomenon: under certain conditions, noise can enhance entanglement in quantum systems. By examining two coupled fermionic chains—one system and one ancilla—they demonstrate that fast ancilla dynamics, combined with strong noise, alters the interplay between coherence and decoherence, boosting entanglement within the system. This counterintuitive discovery opens up new pathways to exploit noise for processes in quantum information technologies.

Topological chiral superconductivity beyond pairing in a Fermi liquid

Minho Kim, Abigail Timmel, Long Ju, and Xiao-Gang Wen

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014508 (2025) - Published 10 January, 2025

The BCS theory of superconductivity is based on determinant or Pfaffian wave functions, which also describe Fermi liquids. Here, the authors develop a new theory of superconductivity in two dimensions, based on product wave functions. The new superconductivity is shown to be induced by purely repulsive interactions for flat dispersion ε∼k4, and can potentially have high transition temperatures. The resulting chiral superconductors display topological order, fractional statistics, and chiral edge states.

Genesis and atomic structure of the charge density wave phase of 1TVSe2

V. Petkov, A. Zafar, M. Jakhar, and AM Milinda Abeykoon

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014105 (2025) - Published 15 January, 2025

Charge density waves may be viewed as ordered quantum fluid of electrons that form a standing wave pattern, causing the electron charge density to become spatially modulated. Concurrently, the crystal lattice distorts, and the participating atoms arrange in a superstructure. Using variable-temperature total x-ray scattering, the authors determine here the unknown superstructure in the archetypal transition-metal dichalcogenides 1T-VSe2. Notably, V atoms are found to form an ordered pattern of triclusters that are uncommon to systems exhibiting charge density wave phenomena.

Soft modes in vector spin glass models on sparse random graphs

Silvio Franz, Cosimo Lupo, Flavio Nicoletti, Giorgio Parisi, and Federico Ricci-Tersenghi

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014203 (2025) - Published 23 January, 2025

The authors study here low-energy linear excitations in XY and Heisenberg spin glasses at zero temperature, considering systems defined on sparse random regular graphs. The localization properties of the soft modes are linked to the spin glass transition in a field. The authors discover a new kind of low-energy excitation, called a “Concentrated and Delocalized Low Energy Mode” (CDLEM), given that this excitation is restricted to a sub-extensive number of vertices spread over the largest possible distances.

Observation of non-Hermitian pseudo-mobility-edge in a coupled electric circuit ladder

Xuewei Zhang, Chaohua Wu, Mou Yan, and Gang Chen

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014304 (2025) - Published 6 January, 2025

The authors report here the experimental observation of the non-Hermitian pseudo-mobility-edge in a hybridized non-Hermitian circuit ladder. Through measuring the admittance spectrum and eigenstates, they show the transition from pseudo-mobility-edge phase to the skin-localized phase for open boundary condition and to the extended phase for mixed boundary condition. The results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

Formation of generalized Wannier-Stark ladders: Theorem and applications

H. P. Zhang and Z. Song

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014313 (2025) - Published 23 January, 2025

For noninteracting systems, Wannier-Stark ladders (WSLs) describe electronic state quantization in crystals under constant electric fields, related to Bloch oscillations. The authors develop here a theory for interacting Hamiltonians with translational symmetry and linear potentials, possessing WSLs. They illustrate this using 1D extended Bose-Hubbard models with real and imaginary hopping strengths.

Current-induced circular dichroism on metallic surfaces: A first-principles study

Farzad Mahfouzi, Mark D. Stiles, and Paul M. Haney

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014415 (2025) - Published 13 January, 2025

Orbital angular momentum is a central quantity in the burgeoning field of orbitronics. Researchers have interpreted optical measurements of current-driven accumulation versus film thickness as determining the depth dependence of orbital angular momentum accumulation. The authors compute here both the current-induced orbital angular momentum spatial profile at the surface of a Pt thin film and the film-thickness dependence of the circular dichroism, and show that the latter is set by the mean free path while the former is considerably shorter.

Precisely tracking critical spin fluctuations using the ac magnetostriction coefficient: A case study on the Kitaev spin liquid candidate Na3Co2SbO6

Xinrun Mi, Xintong Li, Long Zhang, Yuchen Gu, Aifeng Wang, Yuan Li, Yisheng Chai, and Mingquan He

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014417 (2025) - Published 13 January, 2025

Quantum critical points (QCPs) are essential for understanding emergent quantum phases of matter. The authors introduce here a simple yet highly sensitive composite magnetoelectric method to detect critical spin fluctuations near QCPs by measuring the ac magnetostriction coefficient, which directly probes spin-spin correlations. Applied to the Kitaev spin liquid candidate Na3Co2SbO6, this method identifies two tricritical points, one of which is in close proximity to a QCP. This showcases the method’s broad applicability in probing QCPs in quantum magnets.

Magnetic nutation: Transient separation of magnetization from its angular momentum

Anulekha De, Julius Schlegel, Akira Lentfert, Laura Scheuer, Benjamin Stadtmüller, Philipp Pirro, Georg von Freymann, Ulrich Nowak, and Martin Aeschlimann

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014432 (2025) - Published 23 January, 2025

Using a TR-MOKE experiment and atomistic spin dynamics simulations, the authors show here that a sudden, incoherent, “kick” to the spin system of a ferromagnet not only triggers the well-known precession (GHz range), but also, on top, a faster nutation (sub-THz range). The separation of magnetization from angular momentum leading to nutation is an inherent phenomenon occurring during the relaxation of a nonequilibrium excitation of a magnetic system using ultrashort optical pulses. The study allows us to integrate different processes, ranging from demagnetization via nutation to precession in a single experiment.

Detecting slow magnetization relaxation via magnetotransport measurements based on the current-reversal method

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014441 (2025) - Published 27 January, 2025

The authors present here a straightforward magnetotransport measurement based screening method for detecting slow magnetization relaxation processes in magnetic thin films. They validate the measurement scheme considering the anomalous Hall effect in a Pt/Co/AlOx trilayer as a generic example, and then extend it to study magnetization relaxation in τ-MnAl films. The experimental data show that the magnetotransport-based screening is particularly sensitive to relaxation processes occurring on timescales of several seconds, and allows for a robust detection of slow magnetic relaxation.

Manipulation of magnetic spin textures at room temperature in a van der Waals ferromagnet

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014442 (2025) - Published 29 January, 2025

External stimuli, such as thermal agitation and magnetic fields, disrupt order in condensed matter systems while facilitating phase transitions by overcoming energy barriers. The authors demonstrate here the manipulation of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and long-range dipolar interactions to achieve multistate magnetic spin textures at room temperature in the van der Waals ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2. This study provides experimental evidence for topological quasiparticles in two-dimensional systems.

Quantum criticality and superconductivity in twisted transition metal dichalcogenides

A. V. Chubukov and C. M. Varma

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014507 (2025) - Published 13 January, 2025

The authors analyze here superconductivity in the twisted transition metal chalcogenide WSe2. In this material, spin-orbit scattering locks the z components of spins of low-energy fermions. The authors show that the nominally repulsive 4-fermion interaction gives rise to an attraction in a hexagonal lattice version of p-wave channel. The gap function is inversion-odd and a linear combination of spin singlet and spin triplet. At weak coupling, superconductivity emerges via the Kohn-Luttinger mechanism. At strong coupling, the pairing is mediated by XY magnetic fluctuations.

Coexistence of Kondo coherence and localized magnetic moments in the normal state of molten salt-flux grown UTe2

N. Azari, M. Yakovlev, S. R. Dunsiger, O. P. Uzoh, E. Mun, B. M. Huddart, S. J. Blundell, M. M. Bordelon, S. M. Thomas, J. D. Thompson, P. F. S. Rosa, and J. E. Sonier

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014513 (2025) - Published 17 January, 2025

The normal state properties often provide vital insights into elucidating the pairing mechanism in a superconductor. Here, the authors report an experimental study of the normal state of the purported spin-triplet superconductor UTe2, in which the superconducting condensate develops from a heavy-electron fluid. The key finding is that localized magnetic moments condense out of a large fraction of the heavy-electron fluid prior to the onset of superconductivity. This suggests that Kondo hybridization of the conduction and localized electrons in UTe2 is probably orbital selective.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014441 (2025) - Published 27 January, 2025

The authors present here a straightforward magnetotransport measurement based screening method for detecting slow magnetization relaxation processes in magnetic thin films. They validate the measurement scheme considering the anomalous Hall effect in a Pt/Co/AlOx trilayer as a generic example, and then extend it to study magnetization relaxation in τ-MnAl films. The experimental data show that the magnetotransport-based screening is particularly sensitive to relaxation processes occurring on timescales of several seconds, and allows for a robust detection of slow magnetic relaxation.

External stimuli, such as thermal agitation and magnetic fields, disrupt order in condensed matter systems while facilitating phase transitions by overcoming energy barriers. The authors demonstrate here the manipulation of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and long-range dipolar interactions to achieve multistate magnetic spin textures at room temperature in the van der Waals ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2. This study provides experimental evidence for topological quasiparticles in two-dimensional systems.

The authors analyze here superconductivity in the twisted transition metal chalcogenide WSe2. In this material, spin-orbit scattering locks the z components of spins of low-energy fermions. The authors show that the nominally repulsive 4-fermion interaction gives rise to an attraction in a hexagonal lattice version of p-wave channel. The gap function is inversion-odd and a linear combination of spin singlet and spin triplet. At weak coupling, superconductivity emerges via the Kohn-Luttinger mechanism. At strong coupling, the pairing is mediated by XY magnetic fluctuations.

Topological chiral superconductivity beyond pairing in a Fermi liquid

Phys. Rev. B 111, 014508 (2025) - Published 10 January, 2025

The BCS theory of superconductivity is based on determinant or Pfaffian wave functions, which also describe Fermi liquids. Here, the authors develop a new theory of superconductivity in two dimensions, based on product wave functions. The new superconductivity is shown to be induced by purely repulsive interactions for flat dispersion ε∼k4, and can potentially have high transition temperatures. The resulting chiral superconductors display topological order, fractional statistics, and chiral edge states.

The normal state properties often provide vital insights into elucidating the pairing mechanism in a superconductor. Here, the authors report an experimental study of the normal state of the purported spin-triplet superconductor UTe2, in which the superconducting condensate develops from a heavy-electron fluid. The key finding is that localized magnetic moments condense out of a large fraction of the heavy-electron fluid prior to the onset of superconductivity. This suggests that Kondo hybridization of the conduction and localized electrons in UTe2 is probably orbital selective.
