Hybrid between biologically and quantum-inspired many-body states

Miha Srdinšek and Xavier Waintal

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125107 (2026) - Published 3 March, 2026

Deep neural networks can fit a vast variety of data but they have limited mathematical structure. A typical large language model offers only the evaluation of the function, its gradient (automatic differentiation), and the ability to sample (autoregressive). Tensor networks offer much more—calculation of sums, scalar products, application of various operators—but are less expressive. Here, the authors take a step toward merging the two approaches to construct a variational ansatz that inherits some of both networks’ properties.

Spin texture of αGeTe in the ultrathin regime

Calvin Tagne-Kaegom, Alexandre Llopez, Boris Croes, Geoffroy Kremer, Bertrand Kierren, Daniel Malterre, Luc Moreau, Fotié Jaurès Ngoufo, Stefano Curiotto, Pierre Müller, Patrick Le Fèvre, Julien Rault, François Bertran, Andrés Saúl, Frédéric Leroy, Fabien Cheynis, and Yannick Fagot-Revurat

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125113 (2026) - Published 9 March, 2026

Ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors such as α-GeTe have recently emerged as promising candidates for all-electrically controlled spin orbitronics. The persistence of Rashba spin-split electronic states in ultrathin α-GeTe films is of utmost importance in the context of device downscaling. Using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, supported by first-principles calculations, the authors demonstrate here that α-GeTe films as thin as 5 nm still exhibit an in-plane spin texture at the Fermi surface.

Chern-selective multivalley flat bands in twisted mono-bilayer and mono-trilayer MoTe2

Ziyue Qi, Hanqi Pi, Yan Zhang, Jiaxuan Liu, Nicolas Regnault, Hongming Weng, B. Andrei Bernevig, Jiabin Yu, and Quansheng Wu

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125116 (2026) - Published 9 March, 2026

Here, the authors show that in twisted mono-bilayer and mono-trilayer MoTe2, moirapose flat bands from multiple valleys, with distinct spin Chern numbers, emerge simultaneously at low energies. Using first-principles calculations and continuum models, they reveal that interlayer hybridization enables stacking configuration and thickness to tune the relative alignment and quantum geometry of low-energy moirapose bands from K/K and Γ valleys. These results provide promising platforms to study layer-controlled multivalley physics and call for extended investigations of twisted multilayer heterostructures to explore richer multivalley phenomena.

Pairing symmetry crossover from d-wave to s±-wave in a bilayer nickelate driven by Hund's coupling and crystal field splitting

Yicheng Xiong, Yanmei Cai, and Tianxing Ma

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125134 (2026) - Published 18 March, 2026

Here, the authors use constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo to show that Hund’s coupling and crystal field splitting act as two control knobs for pairing symmetry in bilayer La3Ni2O7, driving a crossover from intralayer d-wave to interlayer s±-wave pairing. In the physically relevant regime, the s± state dominates and remains robust even when the γ pocket disappears.

Intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect beyond Bloch geometry

Raffaele Resta

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125136 (2026) - Published 19 March, 2026

The intrinsic Hall effect, both linear and nonlinear, is a perspicuous manifestation of quantum geometry. In the current literature, the formulation is based on Bloch geometry, addressing crystalline systems in a mean-field framework. Nonetheless, the effect is a fundamental geometric response of a generic many-body ground state, not a band structure peculiarity. The author provides here an higher-level quantum-geometrical theory of the quadratic Hall effect, cast in very compact notations, and encompassing the known Bloch formulation as a special case.

Bulk plasmons in elemental metals

Dario A. Leon, Claudia Cardoso, and Kristian Berland

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125138 (2026) - Published 20 March, 2026

Here, the authors present first-principles plasmonic band structures for 26 elemental metals, revealing complex dispersion and spectral features beyond simple free-electron models, including nonparabolic dispersion, anisotropy-induced discontinuities, and band crossings. Moreover, they introduce an effective momentum- and frequency-dependent representation of the dielectric response, MPA(q), that accurately reproduces the calculated spectra and constitute a quantitative reference for plasmonic spectroscopy and modeling.

Photon correlation Fourier spectroscopy of a B center in hBN

A. Delteil, S. Buil, and J.-P. Hermier

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125308 (2026) - Published 26 March, 2026

Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride are widely considered as promising candidates for integrated quantum photonics based on van der Waals materials. A key property is the coherence time of the emitted photons, which is often difficult to determine due to spectral diffusion of the emission line induced by the surrounding crystal environment. Here, the authors use photon-correlation Fourier spectroscopy, a quantum optics technique reveal the homogeneous properties hidden by spectral diffusion, to characterize a blue-emitting color center (B center). Using this method, they unveil photoluminescence emission linewidth close to the Fourier limit.

Cavity modification of magnetoplasmon modes through coupling with intersubband polaritons

Lucy L. Hale, Daniele De Bernardis, Stephan Lempereur, Lianhe H. Li, A. Giles Davies, Edmund H. Linfield, Trevor Blaikie, Chris Deimert, Zbigniew R. Wasilewski, Iacopo Carusotto, Jean-Michel Manceau, Mathieu Jeannin, Raffaele Colombelli, Jérôme Faist, and Giacomo Scalari

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125309 (2026) - Published 27 March, 2026

Kohn’s theorem simplifies the description of cyclotron motion in 2D electron gases, but excludes many-body physics from their optical response. Here, the authors demonstrate a method to go beyond the validity of Kohn’s theorem using a multimode metal-insulator-metal cavity. The spatially inhomogeneous TM field of the cavity breaks translational invariance, activating nonlocal Coulombic effects in the magnetoplasmon response. This provides a means to probe the effect of Coulomb interactions in strongly coupled systems via reshaping of their cavity mode profiles.

Microwave-induced transitions between weak localization and weak antilocalization in graphene

Jorge Navarro-Giraldo, Vinicius T. Santana, Oleksii Laguta, Dominik Bloos, Anastasia Bauernfeind, Marc Scheffler, Valentyn Laguta, D. Kurt Gaskill, and Petr Neugebauer

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125408 (2026) - Published 4 March, 2026

Weak localization and antilocalization are characteristic signatures of coherent electronic transport in 2D systems. Here, employing contactless microwave magnetoconductivity experiments with frequencies much larger than the electron decoherence rate, the authors report transitions between weak localization and weak antilocalization in graphene induced by the microwave frequency. These transitions fall outside the predictions of established models, suggesting the existence of novel mechanisms affecting electron coherence at high microwave frequencies.

Many-body Rashba spin-orbit interaction and exciton spin relaxation in atomically thin semiconductor structures

Henry Mittenzwey and Andreas Knorr

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125421 (2026) - Published 16 March, 2026

The authors investigate here pair-spin-orbit or Breit corrections to the many-body Coulomb interaction in 2D-confined semiconductors, such as TMDC monolayers. In an asymmetric dielectric environment intrinsic out-of-plane electric fields emerge from the electron and hole components of optically excited excitons. In the resulting self-interaction these quantized electric fields renormalize the many-body interactions and couple back on the excitons to induce a spin hybridization. Consequently, the exciton-phonon scattering selection rules are softened and explain phonon-assisted exciton-spin relaxation without any externally applied electric fields.

Floquet engineering magnetism and superconductivity in the square-lattice Hubbard model

Jan-Niklas Herre, Takuya Okugawa, Ammon Fischer, Christoph Karrasch, and Dante M. Kennes

Phys. Rev. B 113, L121103 (2026) - Published 13 March, 2026

The authors study here the interplay of magnetic order and superconductivity in the periodically driven square-lattice Hubbard model. In their Floquet random-phase approximation, circularly polarized light reshapes magnetic fluctuations inducing an antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic transition close to a Floquet-Lifshitz transition. Near the antiferromagnetic phase, the light-dressed magnetic fluctuations stabilize topological d+id superconductivity at low driving frequencies, while high-frequency driving tunes pairing towards spin-triplet p wave. The work establishes a route to Floquet engineered topological superconductivity.

Quasi-one-dimensional Coulomb drag between spin-polarized quantum wires

Mingyang Zheng, Rebika Makaju, Rasul Gazizulin, Alex Levchenko, Sadhvikas J. Addamane, and Dominique Laroche

Phys. Rev. B 113, L121408 (2026) - Published 20 March, 2026

Here, the authors present one-dimensional Coulomb drag measurements in the spin-polarized regime, achieved by applying a large magnetic field along the axis of the quantum wire. The temperature dependence of the drag is well described by a power law beyond a crossover temperature. Despite the presence of both reciprocal and nonreciprocal drag signals, the authors demonstrate a scaling of the power law exponent between the spinful and spin-polarized regimes, in agreement with predictions for clean ballistic quantum wires in the reciprocal regime.

Breaking a conservation law enables steady-state entanglement out of equilibrium

Vince Hou, Eric Kleinherbers, Shane P. Kelly, and Yaroslav Tserkovnyak

Phys. Rev. B 113, L121410 (2026) - Published 23 March, 2026

A thermal bath usually forces a quantum system to equilibrate. Here, the authors show that weakly pumping a conserved quantity into the environment prevents thermalization, when the system-bath interaction disrespects the underlying symmetry. The broken conservation law opens competing relaxation channels that act like several baths at once, which are mutually out of equilibrium. Combined with long-range correlations in the bath, this nonequilibrium behavior can stabilize entanglement between distant qubits as the authors illustrate for color centers in diamond near a spin-pumped magnet.

Intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect beyond Bloch geometry

Raffaele Resta

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125136 (2026) - Published 19 March, 2026

The intrinsic Hall effect, both linear and nonlinear, is a perspicuous manifestation of quantum geometry. In the current literature, the formulation is based on Bloch geometry, addressing crystalline systems in a mean-field framework. Nonetheless, the effect is a fundamental geometric response of a generic many-body ground state, not a band structure peculiarity. The author provides here an higher-level quantum-geometrical theory of the quadratic Hall effect, cast in very compact notations, and encompassing the known Bloch formulation as a special case.

Phys. Rev. B 113, 125138 (2026) - Published 20 March, 2026

Here, the authors present first-principles plasmonic band structures for 26 elemental metals, revealing complex dispersion and spectral features beyond simple free-electron models, including nonparabolic dispersion, anisotropy-induced discontinuities, and band crossings. Moreover, they introduce an effective momentum- and frequency-dependent representation of the dielectric response, MPA(q), that accurately reproduces the calculated spectra and constitute a quantitative reference for plasmonic spectroscopy and modeling.

Color centers in hexagonal boron nitride are widely considered as promising candidates for integrated quantum photonics based on van der Waals materials. A key property is the coherence time of the emitted photons, which is often difficult to determine due to spectral diffusion of the emission line induced by the surrounding crystal environment. Here, the authors use photon-correlation Fourier spectroscopy, a quantum optics technique reveal the homogeneous properties hidden by spectral diffusion, to characterize a blue-emitting color center (B center). Using this method, they unveil photoluminescence emission linewidth close to the Fourier limit.

Kohn’s theorem simplifies the description of cyclotron motion in 2D electron gases, but excludes many-body physics from their optical response. Here, the authors demonstrate a method to go beyond the validity of Kohn’s theorem using a multimode metal-insulator-metal cavity. The spatially inhomogeneous TM field of the cavity breaks translational invariance, activating nonlocal Coulombic effects in the magnetoplasmon response. This provides a means to probe the effect of Coulomb interactions in strongly coupled systems via reshaping of their cavity mode profiles.

Weak localization and antilocalization are characteristic signatures of coherent electronic transport in 2D systems. Here, employing contactless microwave magnetoconductivity experiments with frequencies much larger than the electron decoherence rate, the authors report transitions between weak localization and weak antilocalization in graphene induced by the microwave frequency. These transitions fall outside the predictions of established models, suggesting the existence of novel mechanisms affecting electron coherence at high microwave frequencies.

The authors investigate here pair-spin-orbit or Breit corrections to the many-body Coulomb interaction in 2D-confined semiconductors, such as TMDC monolayers. In an asymmetric dielectric environment intrinsic out-of-plane electric fields emerge from the electron and hole components of optically excited excitons. In the resulting self-interaction these quantized electric fields renormalize the many-body interactions and couple back on the excitons to induce a spin hybridization. Consequently, the exciton-phonon scattering selection rules are softened and explain phonon-assisted exciton-spin relaxation without any externally applied electric fields.
