Extension of the adiabatic theorem

S. Damerow and S. Kehrein

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165102 (2026) - Published 1 April, 2026

Understanding whether adiabatic intuition can extend beyond slow driving is a fundamental question in nonequilibrium quantum dynamics. Here, the authors test a conjectured extension of the adiabatic theorem to quantum quenches: sudden, explicitly nonadiabatic parameter changes. The proposal states that, for quenches performed within the same phase, the initial ground state has its largest overlap with the post-quench ground state compared to all other eigenstates of the final Hamiltonian. Analytical and numerical evidence is provided for remnant adiabatic behavior even under sudden quenches.

Theory of electronic nematic criticality constrained by elastic compatibility

W. Joe Meese and Rafael M. Fernandes

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165136 (2026) - Published 20 April, 2026

The authors resolve here a long-standing paradox in strongly correlated systems. While electronic nematicity is widely observed in quantum materials on macroscopic scales, it also appears unstable to structural disorder on microscopic scales. The resolution stems from the geometry of deformed solids. Nematicity is shown to inherit compatibility constraints from elasticity which ensure that the crystal deforms without cracking. This splits nematic fluctuations universally by their momentum direction into compatible modes responsible for mean-field criticality and elastically suppressed modes susceptible to structural disorder.

Probing anyonic statistics via Mach-Zehnder interferometry in quantum computers

Shiyu Zhou, Yi Teng, Claudio Chamon, Claudio Castelnovo, and Armin Rahmani

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165101 (2026) - Published 1 April, 2026

The authors implement here a synthetic Mach–Zehnder interferometer on a digital quantum computer to probe the fractional statistics of anyonic excitations. Using an IonQ device, they observe clear interference signatures of mutual semionic statistics of emergent topological excitations in the toric ladder model, where the presence of one excitation blocks the propagation of another through destructive interference. They also characterize device noise using a Lindblad description. This approach provides a framework to probe coherence length and time scales of multi-qubit noisy quantum processors.

Partition function of the Kitaev quantum double model

Anna Ritz-Zwilling, Benoît Douçot, Steven H. Simon, Julien Vidal, and Jean-Noël Fuchs

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165106 (2026) - Published 6 April, 2026

Thirty years ago, Kitaev first brought together the ideas of quantum information and topological order in a landmark paper, introducing the famous toric code and its generalization, the so-called quantum double model. In some cases, this model displays non-Abelian anyons that can, in principle, perform universal topological quantum computation. Here, the authors present the first complete solution of the quantum double model (and some of its extensions), including the full eigenspectrum and its exact finite-temperature partition function.

Efficient prediction of topological superlattice bands with spin-orbit coupling

M. Nabil Y. Lhachemi, Valentin Crépel, and Jennifer Cano

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165109 (2026) - Published 6 April, 2026

The authors introduce here a symmetry‑indicator approach that predicts the topology of superlattice‑induced minibands in the presence of spin‑orbit coupling. By determining how superlattice harmonics determine symmetry eigenvalues at the high‑symmetry points of the folded Brillouin zone, the method yields ℤ2 indices and Chern numbers without full band‑structure calculations. The analysis reveals clear conditions under which patterned superlattices generate topological minibands — even when the parent system is topologically trivial. The criterion is applied across diverse material platforms, including thin films of topological insulators and transition metal dichalcogenides.

Interplay between non-Fermi liquid and non-Hermiticity: A multimethod study of non-Hermitian multichannel Kondo model

Wei-Zhu Yi, Yun Chen, Jun-Jun Pang, Hong Chen, Baigeng Wang, and Rui Wang

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165110 (2026) - Published 6 April, 2026

The authors construct here an open system setup that realizes a non-Hermitian multichannel Kondo problem. By applying multiple nonperturbative analytic and numerical methods, they identify three phases enriched by non-Hermiticity. The computed impurity entropy exceeds the free local moment value of ln2, indicating the emergence of a Yu–Shiba–Rusinov-like impurity state. The corresponding Kondo conductance exhibits an anomalous temperature scaling induced by non-Hermiticity, pointing to transport phenomena distinct from those in conventional Hermitian Kondo systems.

Diagonal isometric form for tensor network states in two dimensions

Benjamin Sappler, Masataka Kawano, Michael P. Zaletel, and Frank Pollmann

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165117 (2026) - Published 10 April, 2026

Isometric tensor network states (isoTNS) generalize the isometric form of the one-dimensional matrix product states (MPS) to tensor networks in two and higher dimensions. Here, the authors introduce an alternative isometric form for isoTNS by incorporating auxiliary tensors to represent the orthogonality hypersurface. The authors demonstrate the viability of the method by performing ground-state search and real-time evolution of the transverse field Ising model on large square lattices of up to 1250 sites.

Multichannel Kondo effect in one-dimensional superconducting leads

Pradip Kattel, Abay Zhakenov, and Natan Andrei

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165130 (2026) - Published 16 April, 2026

The authors uncover here a rich phase diagram when a quantum spin is placed in an interacting superconducting system, with different phases arising due to the competition of the Kondo and superconducting interactions. Particularly surprising is the appearance of multichannel physics in a gapped superconducting phase. They further show that in each phase, the Hilbert space splits into several towers of excitations. By computing the impurity entropy explicitly in each phase, they show that the excitation towers induce interesting nonmonotonic behavior, which is experimentally accessible.

Proposal for resolving quantized Landau orbits via elastic XUV scattering

Sabrina Meyer, Joris Sturm, Christina Schröder, Stephen Hughes, Andreas Knorr, and Lara Greten

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165421 (2026) - Published 21 April, 2026

In a strong magnetic field, a 2D electron gas is quantized into discrete Landau levels, the quantum version of cyclotron motion. Based on a microscopic theory, the authors propose here scattering with extreme-ultraviolet light as an optical probe of Landau-orbit structure. They isolate spatial Landau-orbit information by normalizing to a zero-magnetic-field reference. This provides access to the probability density distributions of individual Landau-Level wave functions, featuring radial maxima at the quantized Larmor radii.

Fermion parity and quantum capacitance oscillation with partially separated Majorana and quasi-Majorana modes

Tudor D. Stanescu and Sumanta Tewari

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165422 (2026) - Published 21 April, 2026

Quantum capacitance measurements of a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowire coupled to a quantum dot can enable the determination of the shared fermion parity of Majorana zero modes. Here, the authors demonstrate that, in general, the observation of the corresponding parity-dependent quantum capacitance oscillations, as observed in recent experiments, indicates the presence of partially separated Majorana modes or topologically trivial quasi-Majorana modes, and does not represent a unique signature of topologically protected Majorana zero modes.

Instability of Laughlin fractional quantum Hall liquids into gapless power-law correlated states with continuous exponents in ideal Chern bands: Rigorous results from plasma mapping

Saranyo Moitra and Inti Sodemann Villadiego

Phys. Rev. B 113, L161102 (2026) - Published 1 April, 2026

Ideal Chern bands are believed to be crucial for realizing anomalous fractional quantum Hall states in moiré materials. Here, the authors demonstrate that in an ideal Chern band even the celebrated Laughlin wave-function at filling 1/3 does not always describe a gapped fractional quantum Hall state, but can also describe a novel exotic gapless state that does not spontaneously break any symmetry. This state displays power-law correlations with continuously tunable exponents and quasiparticles with an unquantized continuously varying electric charge.

Spin-spiral instability of the Nagaoka ferromagnet in the crossover between square and triangular lattices

Darren Pereira and Erich J. Mueller

Phys. Rev. B 113, L161114 (2026) - Published 16 April, 2026

The hard-core Fermi-Hubbard model displays a massive spin degeneracy at half-filling: superexchange is forbidden in the hard-core limit, so all spin configurations have the same energy. Introducing a single hole, whose kinetic energy depends on the spin state, leads to magnetic ordering. This ordering is lattice dependent. The authors study here how it evolves as one interpolates between a square and triangular lattice, which can be explored using optical lattices. Using perturbative and variational arguments, they identify a phase transition between a ferromagnet and a spin-spiral state.

Localized excitons and Landau-level mixing in time-reversal symmetric pairs of Chern bands

Guopeng Xu, Nemin Wei, Inti Sodemann Villadiego, and Chunli Huang

Phys. Rev. B 113, L161121 (2026) - Published 28 April, 2026

Motivated by correlated phases observed in moiré transition metal dichalcogenide experiments, the authors study here how Coulomb interactions are modified and how they can drive many-body instabilities. Using a Landau level description, they show that interactions acquire a spin-dependent structure that can be systematically characterized by generalized Haldane pseudopotentials. They find that Landau level mixing can destabilize the Chern insulating state at integer filling when interactions become comparable to kinetic energy, providing an experimentally relevant mechanism for the breakdown of Chern insulators in moiré materials.

Theory of electronic nematic criticality constrained by elastic compatibility

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165136 (2026) - Published 20 April, 2026

The authors resolve here a long-standing paradox in strongly correlated systems. While electronic nematicity is widely observed in quantum materials on macroscopic scales, it also appears unstable to structural disorder on microscopic scales. The resolution stems from the geometry of deformed solids. Nematicity is shown to inherit compatibility constraints from elasticity which ensure that the crystal deforms without cracking. This splits nematic fluctuations universally by their momentum direction into compatible modes responsible for mean-field criticality and elastically suppressed modes susceptible to structural disorder.

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165421 (2026) - Published 21 April, 2026

In a strong magnetic field, a 2D electron gas is quantized into discrete Landau levels, the quantum version of cyclotron motion. Based on a microscopic theory, the authors propose here scattering with extreme-ultraviolet light as an optical probe of Landau-orbit structure. They isolate spatial Landau-orbit information by normalizing to a zero-magnetic-field reference. This provides access to the probability density distributions of individual Landau-Level wave functions, featuring radial maxima at the quantized Larmor radii.

Fermion parity and quantum capacitance oscillation with partially separated Majorana and quasi-Majorana modes

Tudor D. Stanescu and Sumanta Tewari

Phys. Rev. B 113, 165422 (2026) - Published 21 April, 2026

Quantum capacitance measurements of a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanowire coupled to a quantum dot can enable the determination of the shared fermion parity of Majorana zero modes. Here, the authors demonstrate that, in general, the observation of the corresponding parity-dependent quantum capacitance oscillations, as observed in recent experiments, indicates the presence of partially separated Majorana modes or topologically trivial quasi-Majorana modes, and does not represent a unique signature of topologically protected Majorana zero modes.
