Interaction-enhanced photon blockade and Bell-state protection in microwave-shielded polar molecules

Microwave shielding has recently emerged as a powerful tool for engineering interactions in ultracold polar molecules, yet its potential for controlling cavity quantum electrodynamics remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate a molecular cavity quantum electrodynamics platform in which two microwave-shielded polar molecules are coupled to a single optical cavity mode and demonstrate that shielding-induced interactions provide a unified mechanism for both photon blockade and Bell-state protection. The anisotropic interaction reshapes the few-excitation spectrum by enhancing its anharmonicity, thereby suppressing multiphoton transitions and improving the single-photon purity by more than three orders of magnitude. The enhanced blockade is accompanied by the emergence of negative longitudinal spin correlations, revealing the interaction-induced suppression of simultaneous molecular excitations. We further show that the photon statistics are highly sensitive to the relative molecular configuration, with positional variations on the scale of the relative zero-point fluctuation substantially modifying the blockade performance. Beyond few-photon nonlinear optics, the same interaction protects an initially prepared molecular Bell state by dispersively decoupling molecular excitations from the lossy cavity mode, thereby suppressing cavity-mediated dissipation and slowing the fidelity decay. Our results establish microwave-shielded interactions as a unified interaction resource for engineering few-photon nonlinearities and protecting quantum states in molecular cavity-QED systems.

Dual-mode ground-state cooling in quadratic optomechanical systems: from multistability to general dark-mode suppression

We theoretically investigate a quadratic optomechanical system comprising a single-mode optical cavity linearly coupled to one mechanical resonator and quadratically coupled to a second resonator. By tuning the cavity detuning and optomechanical coupling strengths, we demonstrate the transition from optical bistability to multistability with up to seven steady-state solutions. Notably, simultaneous ground-state cooling of both mechanical resonators occurs on the dynamically stable branch of the nonlinear steady-state solutions, offering new opportunities for combined nonlinear optical and quantum cooling functionalities. Beyond the multistable regime, we systematically study dual-mode ground-state cooling and find that robust simultaneous cooling can be achieved over a broad parameter range, except when the linear and quadratic couplings become comparable, where a dark-mode effect arises. In this case, tuning the second-order optomechanical-induced frequency shifts effectively suppresses dark-mode interference, enabling controllable and simultaneous ground-state cooling. Our results provide a versatile framework for engineering multimode quantum states in optomechanical systems and open new avenues for the development of multifunctional quantum devices, including ultra-sensitive sensors, scalable quantum memories, and integrated quantum networks.

AECBench: A Hierarchical Benchmark for Knowledge Evaluation of Large Language Models in the AEC Field

Large language models (LLMs), as a novel information technology, are seeing increasing adoption in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) field. They have shown their potential to streamline processes throughout the building lifecycle. However, the robustness and reliability of LLMs in such a specialized and safety-critical domain remain to be evaluated. To address this challenge, this paper establishes AECBench, a comprehensive benchmark designed to quantify the strengths and limitations of current LLMs in the AEC domain. The benchmark features a five-level, cognition-oriented evaluation framework (i.e., Knowledge Memorization, Understanding, Reasoning, Calculation, and Application). Based on the framework, 23 representative evaluation tasks were defined. These tasks were derived from authentic AEC practice, with scope ranging from codes retrieval to specialized documents generation. Subsequently, a 4,800-question dataset encompassing diverse formats, including open-ended questions, was crafted primarily by engineers and validated through a two-round expert review. Furthermore, an "LLM-as-a-Judge" approach was introduced to provide a scalable and consistent methodology for evaluating complex, long-form responses leveraging expert-derived rubrics. Through the evaluation of nine LLMs, a clear performance decline across five cognitive levels was revealed. Despite demonstrating proficiency in foundational tasks at the Knowledge Memorization and Understanding levels, the models showed significant performance deficits, particularly in interpreting knowledge from tables in building codes, executing complex reasoning and calculation, and generating domain-specific documents. Consequently, this study lays the groundwork for future research and development aimed at the robust and reliable integration of LLMs into safety-critical engineering practices.

$N$-photon bundles emission in high-spin Jaynes-Cummings model

High-spin quantum systems, endowed with rich internal degrees of freedom, constitute a promising platform for manipulating high-quality $n$-photon states. In this study, we explore $n$-photon bundles emission by constructing a high-spin Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) within a single-mode cavity interacting with a single spin-$3/2$ atom. Our analysis reveals that the $n$-photon dressed state splittings can be significantly enhanced by adjusting the linear Zeeman shift inherent to the internal degrees of freedom in high-spin systems, thereby yielding well-resolved $n$-photon resonance. The markedly enhanced energy-spectrum anharmonicity, stemming from strong nonlinearities, enables the realization of high-quality $n$-photon bundles emission with large steady-state photon numbers, in contrast to conventional spin-1/2 JCM setups. Of particular interest is the realization of an optical multimode transducer capable of transitioning among single-photon blockade, two- to four-photon bundles emission, and photon-induced tunneling by tuning the light-cavity detuning in the presence of both cavity and atomic pump fields. This work unveils significant opportunities for diverse applications in nonclassical all-optical switching and high-quality multiphoton sources, deepening our understanding of creating specialized nonclassical states and fundamental physics in high-spin atom-cavity systems.

Worm quantum Monte-Carlo study of phase diagram of extended Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model

Herein, we study the extended Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model mainly by the large-scale worm quantum Monte-Carlo method to check whether or not a light supersolid phase exists in various geometries, such as the one-dimensional chain, square lattices and triangular lattices. To achieve our purpose, the ground state phase diagrams are investigated. For the one-dimensional chain and square lattices, a first-order transition occurs between the superfluid phase and the solid phase and therefore there is no stable supersolid phase existing in these geometries. Interestingly, soliton/beats of the local densities arise if the chemical potential is adjusted in the finite-size chain. However, this soliton-superfluid coexistence can not be considered as a supersolid in the thermodynamic limit. Searching for a light supersolid, we also studied the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model on triangular lattices, and the phase diagrams are obtained. Through measurement of the structural factor, momentum distribution and superfluid stiffness for various system sizes, a supersolid phase exists stably in the triangular lattices geometry and the regime of the supersolid phase is smaller than that of the mean field results. The light supersolid in the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model is attractive because it has superreliance, which is absent in the pure Bose-Hubbard model. We believe the results in this paper could help search for new novel phases in cold-atom experiments
