Magnetic skyrmions typically form hexagonal lattices in chiral magnets, where translational defects such as dislocations are well known but angular defects remain largely unexplored. Here, the authors stabilize fivefold and sevenfold skyrmion lattice disclinations in pentagon- and heptagon-shaped FeGe nanostructures fabricated by focused ion beam milling. Lorentz transmission electron microscopy and electron holography reveal their magnetic and elastic structure. Supported by micromagnetic simulations, the results show how geometric confinement engineers defects in skyrmion lattices.

Noncollinear antiferromagnets Mn (=Sn, Ge) possess out-of-plane spin polarization that enables field-free magnetization switching. However, its microscopic origin remains under debate, specifically whether it arises from the antiferromagnetic order dependent magnetic spin Hall effect or antiferromagnetic order independent spin swapping. To address this issue here, the authors comparatively evaluate the spin torques in single-crystal MnGe/Py bilayers with different crystallographic orientations using spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance technique. Their results reveal that both mechanisms coexist with comparable magnitudes, responsible for the out-of-plane spin polarization.

Here, the authors propose a general framework to understand the relationship between structural connectivity and topological classification. Their approach can be applied to arbitrary finite chiral structures that may have a highly complex connectivity and lack a natural bulk description, in contrast to most classification schemes. Furthermore, by splitting the structure into sections, they show that many systems exhibit a richer classification than predicted with a purely symmetry-based approach. Tied to the topological phases they classify, unusual localization and transport phenomena are predicted and experimentally demonstrated.

In quantum many-body systems, chaotic dynamics that explore all configurations can give way to a localized phase, frozen into a small corner of possibilities. These phases are distinguished by the extensivity of entanglement. Here, the authors argue that the entanglement transition driven by measurements in a broad class of interacting quantum circuits can be described by , and they develop a controlled description of the transition via non-Abelian bosonization. The results are also relevant to decodability transitions in certain surface codes with coherent errors.

Understanding measurement-induced phenomena beyond idealized measurements of Hermitian observables requires a general theoretical framework. Here, the authors develop a replica Keldysh field theory for quantum-jump processes with non-Hermitian jump operators and inefficient detection. The theory establishes a direct connection between measurement-induced and steady-state phase transitions in driven open quantum systems. Applied to monitored fermionic gain and loss, it reveals that inefficient detection induces volume-law entropy scaling while quantum entanglement remains area-law.

Here, the authors show how magnetic nonreciprocity can arise without a structurally chiral device. In a cavity–magnon-polariton system, two linearly polarized independent microwave fields combine into a synthetic chiral field, whose handedness depends on the propagation direction. This behavior is governed by a nontrivial accumulation of coupling phases in a closed loop mediated by traveling photons. Its microscopic origin is traced to polarization-dependent Zeeman coupling, on which a unified framework for structural and synthetic chirality is established.

Magnonic excitations are investigated in the CrOCl van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnet with absorption experiments in a broad continuous energy range. In an external magnetic field, the dispersions of magnon branches characteristic of different magnetic orders are subsequently observed, revealing a strong biaxial anisotropy, hysteretic magnon spectra, as well as the formation of spatially separated magnetic phases. Theexperiments here show that competing exchange interactions broaden the options to generate different kinds of magnonic excitations within the same vdW material.

Magnetic materials with nontrivial band topology combine key concepts of modern solid-state physics and are expected to broaden the range of emergent quantum phases. At the same time, external pressure has proven to be a viable tool in manipulating the band topology and magnetism. Using first-principle simulations combined with optical spectroscopy measurements, the authors show here how the correlation effects are largely responsible for the suppression of the ferromagnetic state in a prototypical Weyl semimetal CoSnS under external pressure.

Here, the authors present an exact solution for the entanglement dynamics following a quench from a thermal pure quantum state in a free-fermion system. The entanglement entropy exhibits a distinctive double-plateau structure, rather than the usual linear growth and saturation. The result is established through conformal field theory, exact lattice simulations, and a quasiparticle picture.

The altermagnetic material -MnTe and its magnetic properties have been attracting a lot of attention recently. Here, the authors investigate the low-energy spin-wave mode in an applied magnetic field utilizing electron spin resonance spectroscopy. In a specific geometry of the experiment, the spin-wave Goldstone mode acquires a gap, controlled by the magnetic field. The universal behavior of the resonance linewidth suggests thermally assisted magnon-magnon collisions as the key magnetic relaxation mechanism in -MnTe.

They demonstrate within the uniform pairing assumption that the direct effect of disorder on superfluid weight is mostly negligible. In particular, to lowest order it is given in terms of the difference between the intraband and interband parts of the localization functional of impurity wave functions, which typically vanishes.

Magnonic excitations are investigated in the CrOCl van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnet with absorption experiments in a broad continuous energy range. In an external magnetic field, the dispersions of magnon branches characteristic of different magnetic orders are subsequently observed, revealing a strong biaxial anisotropy, hysteretic magnon spectra, as well as the formation of spatially separated magnetic phases. Theexperiments here show that competing exchange interactions broaden the options to generate different kinds of magnonic excitations within the same vdW material.

Magnetic materials with nontrivial band topology combine key concepts of modern solid-state physics and are expected to broaden the range of emergent quantum phases. At the same time, external pressure has proven to be a viable tool in manipulating the band topology and magnetism. Using first-principle simulations combined with optical spectroscopy measurements, the authors show here how the correlation effects are largely responsible for the suppression of the ferromagnetic state in a prototypical Weyl semimetal CoSnS under external pressure.
