Dynamics of anyon clusters in fractional quantum Hall fluids

Qianhui Xu, Guangyue Ji, Yuzhu Wang, Ha Quang Trung, and Bo Yang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235112 (2025) - Published 2 December, 2025

The authors explore here the interesting “chemistry” of anyons – collective excitations emerging from a large amount of correlated electrons – in strongly interacting fractional quantum Hall fluids. Anyons can form clusters (“molecules”) because of the effective anyon-anyon interaction induced by tunable electron-electron interactions. Laughlin anyons form hydrogen molecule like bound states with short-range electron interactions, potentially explaining the mystery of the observed 2e/3 effective charge at extremely low temperatures. In the non-Abelian Moore–Read phase, fusion channel dependent effective interactions lift the “1/ψ” degeneracy, enabling the possible energetic control of non-Abelian anyons. The authors also propose STM as a useful experimental tool for detecting the fingerprint of various configurations of anyon clusters.

Bayesian critical points in classical lattice models

Adam Nahum and Jesper Lykke Jacobsen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235113 (2025) - Published 3 December, 2025

The standard theory of critical phenomena describes the nontrivial correlations that arise in the Boltzmann distribution at a continuous phase transition. The authors describe here new critical points that arise when we condition the Boltzmann distribution on additional information from measurements, or when we monitor the evolution of a classical dynamical system. This leads to a new class of renormalization group fixed points with special properties associated with Bayesian inference. The authors argue for the ubiquitousness of such theories throughout statistical physics.

Accelerating ground-state auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo simulations by delayed update and block force-bias update

Hao Du and Yuan-Yao He

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235120 (2025) - Published 8 December, 2025

Ground-state auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo is a powerful tool for interacting fermions but is often limited by the bottleneck of costly local update. Here, the authors develop two acceleration schemes: the delayed update, which replaces multiple vector outer products by one matrix-matrix multiplication, and the block force-bias update, which retains high efficiency while tuning acceptance via block size. Applied to 2D Hubbard models, they yield up to ~ 8 times speedup in 1600-site systems. These update schemes can have broad applicability to general correlated fermion systems.

Preparing matrix product states via fusion: Constraints and extensions

David T. Stephen and Oliver Hart

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235127 (2025) - Published 9 December, 2025

The preparation of many-body resource states is a crucial step in several quantum technologies. However, present-day devices suffer from noise during long computations, motivating constant-time state-preparation algorithms. The authors focus here on a class of constant-time protocols inspired by the matrix product state formalism that incorporates measurements and feedback. They first constrain the states that can be prepared in this way, then introduce a strictly more powerful procedure enabling the preparation of new phases of matter with utility in quantum computation.

Tunable quantum criticality and pseudocriticality across the fixed-point annihilation in the anisotropic spin-boson model

Manuel Weber

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235153 (2025) - Published 18 December, 2025

The author demonstrates here that a single spin coupled to competing environments is a surprisingly simple model to realize a variety of exotic quantum criticality, such as (i) a non-Landau continuous order-to-order transition, (ii) a symmetry-enhanced first-order transition, and (iii) pseudocriticality. These phenomena result from a fixed-point annihilation within the critical manifold and can be gradually tuned into each other. In contrast to higher-dimensional systems, the spin-boson model allows for numerical simulations with unprecedented precision and detailed comparisons with analytical predictions.

Exciton formation dynamics in (Ga,In)As quantum wells

D. Anders, F. Dobener, C. Fuchs, K. Volz, S. Chatterjee, and M. Stein

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235301 (2025) - Published 1 December, 2025

The authors introduce here a differential terahertz probing technique that disentangles exciton and plasma dynamics in (Ga,In)As quantum wells. By exploiting field-induced exciton ionization, this method isolates bound and unbound carrier responses even at high excitation densities. It reveals two intrinsic exciton formation timescales—a fast component around 10 ps and a slower one near 250 ps—resolving long-standing ambiguities in exciton formation dynamics and establishing a versatile framework for probing ultrafast many-body interactions in semiconductor quantum structures.

Transition metal dichalcogenide surfaces as scattering targets in spin-polarization detectors: A case study of MoS2

C. Angrick, A. Henriksen, N. Edossa, A. Reimann, M. Ewert, L. Buß, J. Falta, J. I. Flege, and M. Donath

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235408 (2025) - Published 4 December, 2025

The authors investigate here the suitability of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) surfaces as scattering targets in spin-polarization detectors. These detectors are essential for revealing the spin texture of electronic bands in photoemission experiments. A well-proven approach uses the spin-dependent electron reflection from surfaces influenced by exchange and/or spin-orbit interaction. This paradigmatic study of spin-orbit-influenced MoS2 samples comprises maps for the spin-dependent reflection asymmetry and the efficiency of spin separation. The results show promising features, which emphasize the potential of TMDC-based spin-polarization detectors.

Magnetic control of quantum vacuum friction near a graphene sheet

Kaipeng Liu, Shiwei Dai, and Lixin Ge

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235412 (2025) - Published 12 December, 2025

The authors investigate here quantum vacuum friction acting on a rotating nanosphere near a graphene sheet and demonstrate that the friction force can be substantially tuned by a magnetic field. This tunability originates from the mode coupling between graphene’s magnetoplasmon polaritons and the localized surface phonon polaritons in nanospheres. Interestingly, the authors reveal that the axial Casimir force—a dissipationless friction—exhibits quantized steplike features as the magnetic field and/or the chemical potential increases. This phenomenon is attributed to the quantum Hall effect of graphene at low temperatures.

Noise resilience of two-dimensional Floquet topological phases

Balaganchi A. Bhargava, Sanjib Kumar Das, Lukas M. Sieberer, and Ion Cosma Fulga

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235416 (2025) - Published 16 December, 2025

The authors show here that two-dimensional Floquet topological phases exhibit surprising resilience to timing noise, i.e., to the unavoidable deviations from perfectly periodic driving that occur in any experiment. Topological edge modes decay in two stages: a fast exponential decay at short times, due to thermalization among only edge modes and separate from the bulk, followed by a much slower, diffusive decay. These findings are supported by numerical simulations and by analytical results derived using a phenomenological model.

Statistical analysis of electron-induced switching of a spin-crossover complex

Jonas Fußangel, Björn Sothmann, Sven Johannsen, Sascha Ossinger, Felix Tuczek, Richard Berndt, Jürgen König, and Manuel Gruber

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235426 (2025) - Published 22 December, 2025

Spin-crossover complexes exhibit two distinct and stable spin states. Here, the authors investigate the electron-induced switching dynamics of a single complex in a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. A model based on the transient occupation of a molecular orbital reproduces the experimental switching yields, and suggests a way to improve the switching efficiency.

Intrinsic nonlinear valley Nernst effect

Xue-Jin Zhang, Jin Cao, Lulu Xiong, Hui Wang, Shen Lai, Cong Xiao, and Shengyuan A. Yang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235430 (2025) - Published 23 December, 2025

Nonlinear thermoelectric responses provide a novel probe of valley physics. Here, the authors develop a theory for the intrinsic nonlinear valley Nernst effect, identify its quantum geometric origin in Berry connection polarizability dipole, demonstrate a generalized Mott relation to nonlinear Hall effect, and predict scaling law for nonlocal thermoelectric transport. These advances lay a foundational framework for nonlinear valley caloritronics.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235301 (2025) - Published 1 December, 2025

The authors introduce here a differential terahertz probing technique that disentangles exciton and plasma dynamics in (Ga,In)As quantum wells. By exploiting field-induced exciton ionization, this method isolates bound and unbound carrier responses even at high excitation densities. It reveals two intrinsic exciton formation timescales—a fast component around 10 ps and a slower one near 250 ps—resolving long-standing ambiguities in exciton formation dynamics and establishing a versatile framework for probing ultrafast many-body interactions in semiconductor quantum structures.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235408 (2025) - Published 4 December, 2025

The authors investigate here the suitability of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) surfaces as scattering targets in spin-polarization detectors. These detectors are essential for revealing the spin texture of electronic bands in photoemission experiments. A well-proven approach uses the spin-dependent electron reflection from surfaces influenced by exchange and/or spin-orbit interaction. This paradigmatic study of spin-orbit-influenced MoS2 samples comprises maps for the spin-dependent reflection asymmetry and the efficiency of spin separation. The results show promising features, which emphasize the potential of TMDC-based spin-polarization detectors.

Magnetic control of quantum vacuum friction near a graphene sheet

Kaipeng Liu, Shiwei Dai, and Lixin Ge

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235412 (2025) - Published 12 December, 2025

The authors investigate here quantum vacuum friction acting on a rotating nanosphere near a graphene sheet and demonstrate that the friction force can be substantially tuned by a magnetic field. This tunability originates from the mode coupling between graphene’s magnetoplasmon polaritons and the localized surface phonon polaritons in nanospheres. Interestingly, the authors reveal that the axial Casimir force—a dissipationless friction—exhibits quantized steplike features as the magnetic field and/or the chemical potential increases. This phenomenon is attributed to the quantum Hall effect of graphene at low temperatures.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 235416 (2025) - Published 16 December, 2025

The authors show here that two-dimensional Floquet topological phases exhibit surprising resilience to timing noise, i.e., to the unavoidable deviations from perfectly periodic driving that occur in any experiment. Topological edge modes decay in two stages: a fast exponential decay at short times, due to thermalization among only edge modes and separate from the bulk, followed by a much slower, diffusive decay. These findings are supported by numerical simulations and by analytical results derived using a phenomenological model.

Spin-crossover complexes exhibit two distinct and stable spin states. Here, the authors investigate the electron-induced switching dynamics of a single complex in a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. A model based on the transient occupation of a molecular orbital reproduces the experimental switching yields, and suggests a way to improve the switching efficiency.

Nonlinear thermoelectric responses provide a novel probe of valley physics.

These advances lay a foundational framework for nonlinear valley caloritronics.
