Formation and Magnetic Drive of 1D-Confined Topological Defect Lines in Crystals with D$_{2d}$ Symmetry

Designing and controlling topological spin textures within non-collinear magnetic backgrounds is central to the development of low-dissipation spintronic devices. Here we propose a general mechanism based on tunable magnetic anisotropy that enables the realization of one-dimensional topological defect lines embedded within intrinsic spin-spiral states of uniaxial D$_{2d}$-symmetric magnets, and is broadly applicable across diverse material platforms. Using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy and off-axis electron holography, we show that introducing in-plane magnetic anisotropy into the helical ground state stabilizes adjacent domains of conical helices with in-plane propagation vectors, sharing the same handedness but exhibit opposite net magnetization. The resulting interfacial mismatch generates confined bimeron-chains. Significantly, these defect lines are not merely induced merons; their presence is mandated by the specific D$_{2d}$ symmetry constraints inherent to the system. Applying weak magnetic fields along the conical axis drives counter-propagating motion of adjacent bimeron-chains along the helical stripes, while anisotropy-mediated confinement enables track-stable transverse drift free transport. The present work establishes a clear route to stabilize and control topological spin textures within intrinsically non-collinear magnetic states, advancing fundamental understanding and enabling low-dissipation, scalable spintronic device concepts.

Design and Simulation of an Autonomous Quantum Flying Robot Vehicle: An IBM Quantum Experience

The application of quantum computation and information in robotics has caught the attention of researchers off late. The field of robotics has always put its effort on the minimization of the space occupied by the robot, and on making the robot `smarter. `The smartness of a robot is its sensitivity to its surroundings and the user input and its ability to react upon them desirably. Quantum phenomena in robotics make sure that the robots occupy less space and the ability of quantum computation to process the huge amount of information effectively, consequently making the robot smarter. Braitenberg vehicle is a simple circuited robot that moves according to the input that its sensors receive. Building upon that, we propose a quantum robot vehicle that is `smart' enough to understand the complex situations more than that of a simple Braitenberg vehicle and navigate itself as per the obstacles present. It can detect an obstacle-free path and can navigate itself accordingly. It also takes input from the user when there is more than one free path available. When left with no option on the ground, it can airlift itself off the ground. As these vehicles sort of `react to the surrounding conditions, this idea can be used to build artificial life and genetic algorithms, space exploration and deep-earth exploration probes, and a handy tool in defense and intelligence services.
