Revealing the Topology invariance of vectorial vortex beam in complex media

Orbital angular momentum (OAM), a topological degree of freedom of light, is theoretically invariant under continuous deformations; yet, its physical observability degrades precipitously in complex media, creating a fundamental "topology-observability gap." Here, we propose a novel paradigm for topological measurement based on the non-separable coupling between polarization and topological features in vectorial vortex beam. By constructing a topological non-separability measure derived from global Stokes fields, and integrating it with a physics-guided machine learning calibration framework that combines Bayesian Gaussian process regression with XGBoost-driven adaptive model selection, we achieve high-fidelity identification of topological features up to 200. Crucially, this robustness persists even when beam intensity and phase structures are completely distorted by extreme complex media, including strong atmospheric turbulence, oceanic turbulence, and high-temperature jet exhausts. This approach overcomes the dual bottlenecks of limited accessible OAM modes and susceptibility to perturbations that constrain conventional methods. Our work not only bridges the fundamental divide between topological theory and physical observability, but also establishes a robust framework for the reliable deployment of high-dimensional OAM in real-world complex environments, promising exciting advancements for wireless optical communications, remote topological sensing, and classical analogs of quantum information protocols.

Strong antibunching photons/photon pairs emission in two atoms cavity QED system with the Van der Waals interaction

Weinvestigate the generation of antibunching photons and photon pairs in a two-atom cavity QED system leveraging interatomic van der Waals (vdW) interaction. We show that the vdW interaction shifts the two-atom excited state, enabling the suppression of two-photon excitation via destructive interference in a diamond configuration. This leads to antibunching photon emission with extremely high purity. Furthermore, by tuning the vdW interaction strength, the conditions for conventional and unconventional photon blockades can overlap, significantly enhancing single-photon emission. Conversely, at the antiblockade excitation frequency, quantum Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the feasibility of generating antibunching photon pairs with a high purity and reasonable leaking rate by selecting appropriate driving field Rabi frequency and vdW interaction strength. These f indings on enhanced single/two-photon emission could lead to more efficient and brighter quantum light sources.

Large-area topological wireless power transfer

Topological wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies have attracted considerable interest due to their high transmission efficiency and robustness in coupled array configurations. However, conventional periodic and quasi-periodic topological chains exhibit limited adaptability in complex application scenarios, such as large-area simultaneous multi-load charging. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a large-area topological defect state by constructing a gapless chain of uniformly coupled resonators at the interface of two topologically distinct Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) configurations. This topological defect state exhibits strong localization at multiple target sites, enabling efficient and concurrent wireless power delivery to spatially distributed loads. Furthermore, the unique wavefunction distribution enhances robustness against positional variations, ensuring stable energy transfer despite fluctuations in device placement. The proposed large-area topological framework offers fundamental insights into harnessing diverse topological states for advanced WPT applications, particularly in scenarios demanding spatial flexibility and multi-target energy delivery.

Analytic Continuation by Feature Learning

Analytic continuation aims to reconstruct real-time spectral functions from imaginary-time Green's functions; however, this process is notoriously ill-posed and challenging to solve. We propose a novel neural network architecture, named the Feature Learning Network (FL-net), to enhance the prediction accuracy of spectral functions, achieving an improvement of at least $20\%$ over traditional methods, such as the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM), and previous neural network approaches. Furthermore, we develop an analytical method to evaluate the robustness of the proposed network. Using this method, we demonstrate that increasing the hidden dimensionality of FL-net, while leading to lower loss, results in decreased robustness. Overall, our model provides valuable insights into effectively addressing the complex challenges associated with analytic continuation.

Centers of Universal Enveloping Algebras

The universal enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g} )$ of a current (super)algebra or loop (super)algebra $\mathfrak{g} $ is considered over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K} $ with characteristic $p\ge 0$. This paper focuses on the structure of the center $Z(\mathfrak{g} )$ of $U(\mathfrak{g} )$. In the case of zero characteristic, $Z(\mathfrak{g} )$ is generated by the centers of $\mathfrak{g} $. In the case of prime characteristic, $Z(\mathfrak{g} )$ is generated by the centers of $\mathfrak{g} $ and the $p$-centers of $U(\mathfrak{g} )$. We also study the structure of $Z(\mathfrak{g} )$ in the semisimple Lie (super)algebra.

Higher spin representations of the Yangian of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and R-matrices

We study higher spin (pure and mixed spin) representations of the Yangian of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. We provide a geometric realization in terms of the critical cohomology of representations of the quiver with potential of Bykov and Zinn-Justin [BZJ20]. When the framing dimension is 1, it recovers the evaluation pullback of the $\ell+1$-dimensional irreducible representation of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. We introduce the lattice model and prove that its partition function coincides with the weight function constructed using the framed shuffle formula. The latter follows the approach of Rim\'anyi, Tarasov and Varchenko [RTV15].

Enhancement of photon blockade via topological edge states

Quantum technologies, holding the promise of exponentially superior performance than their classical counterparts for certain tasks, have consistently encountered challenges, including instability in quantum light sources, quantum decoherence and vulnerability to losses that topological photonics happens to adeptly address. Here, we theoretically put forth a quantum Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-type chain designed to greatly enhance single-photon blockade (single-PB) effect with topological protection. By designing the deliberate coupling strengths, the quantum-level lattices take the form of a one-dimensional array with a topological edge state in single-excitation space and a two-dimensional square breathing lattice with topological corner states in two-excitation space, resulting in enhanced single-photon excitation and the suppression of two-photon transitions. Therefore the second-order correlation function is diminished by up to two orders of magnitude at the cavity resonance frequency, accompanied by stronger brightness.Furthermore, the PB effect is robust to local perturbations in cavity-qubit coupling and qubit frequency, benefitting from topological protection.

Extreme subradiance from two-band Bloch oscillations in atomic arrays

Atomic arrays provide an important quantum optical platform with photon-mediated dipoledipole interactions, which can be engineered to realize key applications in quantum information processing. A major obstacle for such application is the fast decay of the excited states. By controlling two-band Bloch oscillations in an atomic array under external magnetic field, here we show that exotic subradiance can be realized and maintained at a time scale upto 12 orders of magnitude larger than the spontaneous decay time in atomic arrays with the finite size. The key finding is to show a way for preventing the wavepacket of excited states scattering into the dissipative zone inside the free space light cone, which therefore leads to the excitation staying at a subradiant state for extremely long decay time. We show that such operation can be achieved by introducing a spatially linear potential from external magnetic field in atomic arrays and then manipulating interconnected two-band Bloch oscillations along opposite directions. Our results also point out the possibility of controllable switching between superradiant and subradiant states, which leads to potential applications in quantum storage.

Degenerate Topological Edge States in Multimer Chains

We propose and experimentally realize a class of quasi-one-dimensional topological lattices whose unit cells are constructed by coupled multiple identical resonators, with uniform hopping and inversion symmetry. In the presence of path-induced effective zero hopping within the unit cells, the systems are characterized by complete multimerization with degenerate $-1$ energy edge states for open boundary condition. Su-Schrieffer-Heeger subspaces with fully dimerized limits corresponding to pairs of nontrivial flat bands are derived from the Hilbert spaces. In particular, topological bound states in the continuum (BICs) are inherently present in even multimer chains, manifested by embedding the topological bound states into a continuous band assured by bulk-boundary correspondence. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate the degenerate topological edge states and topological BICs in inductor-capacitor circuits.

Mixing of surface and bulk electronic states at a graphite-hexagonal boron nitride interface

Van der Waals assembly enables exquisite design of electronic states in two-dimensional (2D) materials, often by superimposing a long-wavelength periodic potential on a crystal lattice using moir\'e superlattices. Here we show that electronic states in three-dimensional (3D) crystals such as graphite can also be tuned by the superlattice potential arising at the interface with another crystal, namely, crystallographically aligned hexagonal boron nitride. Such alignment is found to result in a multitude of Lifshitz transitions and Brown-Zak oscillations for near-surface 2D states whereas, in high magnetic fields, fractal states of Hofstadter's butterfly extend deep into graphite's bulk. Our work shows a venue to control 3D spectra by using the approach of 2D twistronics.

Squeezed light generated with hyperradiance without nonlinearity

We propose that the squeezed light accompanied by hyperradiance is induced by quantum interference in a linear system consisting of a high quality optical cavity and two coherently driven two-level qubits. When two qubits are placed at the crest and trough of the standing wave in the cavity respectively (i.e., they have the opposite coupling coefficient to the cavity), we show that squeezed light is generated in the hyperradiance regime under the conditions of strong coupling and weak driving. Simultaneously, the Klyshko's criterion alternates up and down at unity when the photon number is even or odd. Moreover, the orthogonal angles of the squeezed light can be controlled by adjusting the frequency detuning pressure between the driving field and the qubits. It can be implemented in a variety of quantum systems, including but not limited to two-level systems such as atoms, quantum dots in single-mode cavities.

Squeezed driving induced entanglement and squeezing among cavity modes and magnon mode in a magnon-cavity QED system

We propose a scheme to generate entanglement between two cavity modes and squeeze magnon mode in a magnon-cavity QED system, where the two microwave cavity modes are coupled with a massive yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere through magnetic dipole interaction. The nonlinearity used in our system originates from a squeezed driving via parametric down-conversion process, which is the reason to cause entanglement and squeezing. By using the mean field approximation and employing experimentally feasible parameters, we demonstrate that the system shows zero entanglement and squeezing without squeezed driving. Meanwhile, our QED system denotes that the entanglement between squeezed cavity mode and magnon mode can be transferred to the other cavity mode and magnon mode via magnon-cavity coupling interaction, and then the two cavity modes get entangled. A genuinely tripartite entangled state is formed. We also show that magnon mode can be prepared in a squeezed state via magnon-cavity beam-splitter interaction, which is as a result of the squeezed field. Moreover, we show that it is a good way to enhance entanglement and squeezing by increasing the nonlinear gain coefficient of squeezed driving. Our results denote that magnon-cavity QED system is a powerful platform for studying macroscopic quantum phenomena, which illustrates a new method to photon-photon entanglement and magnon squeezing.

Dipole blockade without dipole-dipole interaction

The dipole blockade phenomenon is a direct consequence of strong dipole-dipole interaction, where only single atom can be excited because the doubly excited state is shifted out of resonance. The corresponding two-body entanglement with non-zero concurrence induced by the dipole blockade effect is an important resource for quantum information processing. Here, we propose a novel physical mechanism for realizing dipole blockade without the dipole-dipole interaction, where two qubits coupled to a cavity, are driven by a coherent field. By suitably chosen placements of the qubits in the cavity and by adjusting the relative decay strengths of the qubits and cavity field, we kill many unwanted excitation pathways. This leads to dipole blockade. In addition, we show that these two qubits are strongly entangled over a broad regime of the system parameters. We show that a strong signature of this dipole blockade is the bunching property of the cavity photons which thus provides a possible measurement of the dipole blockade. We present dynamical features of the dipole blockade without dipole-dipole interaction. The proposal presented in this work can be realized not only in traditional cavity QED, but also in non-cavity topological photonics involving edge modes.

Frobenii on Morava $E$-theoretical quantum groups

In this paper, we study a family of new quantum groups labelled by a prime number $p$ and a natural number $n$ constructed using the Morava $E$-theories. We define the quantum Frobenius homomorphisms among these quantum groups. This is a geometric generalization of Lusztig's quantum Frobenius from the quantum groups at a root of unity to the enveloping algebras. The main ingredient in constructing these Frobenii is the transchromatic character map of Hopkins, Kuhn, Ravenal, and Stapleton. As an application, we prove a Steinberg-type formula for irreducible representations of these quantum groups. Consequently, we prove that, in type $A$ the characters of certain irreducible representations of these quantum groups satisfy the formulas introduced by Lusztig in 2015.

In situ twistronics of van der Waals heterostructures

In van der Waals heterostructures, electronic bands of two-dimensional (2D) materials, their nontrivial topology, and electron-electron interactions can be dramatically changed by a moire pattern induced by twist angles between different layers. Such process is referred to as twistronics, where the tuning of twist angle can be realized through mechanical manipulation of 2D materials. Here we demonstrate an experimental technique that can achieve in situ dynamical rotation and manipulation of 2D materials in van der Waals heterostructures. Using this technique we fabricated heterostructures where graphene is perfectly aligned with both top and bottom encapsulating layers of hexagonal boron nitride. Our technique enables twisted 2D material systems in one single stack with dynamically tunable optical, mechanical, and electronic properties.

Synthetic high-order PT symmetry in a single coil resonator

The exploration of non-Hermitian systems with parity-time (PT) symmetry has witnessed immense research interest both fundamentally and technologically in a wide range of subject areas in physics and engineering. One significant example of the principal emerging fields in this context is the PT symmetric wireless applications using multiple coils that are spatially separated but mutually coupled with position-dependent coupling strength. Such a spatial PT configuration limits the flexibility and miniaturization of the PT symmetric designs. As far as this is concerned, inspired by scattering induced two opposite whispering-gallery (WG) modes in an optical resonator, analogously here we experimentally demonstrate a specially constructed second-order (2-nd order) PT symmetry in a single coil resonator, whose currents with two different directions are excited by internal bypass capacitor. Our proposed structure has the following peculiar feature: First, the bypass capacitor induces coupling in spectral resonances allow us to observe a 2-nd order phase transition between symmetry regimes, without the need of a second coil in the spatial PT case. Under this circumstance, this specially constructed PT symmetry can be regarded as synthetic PT symmetry, which is enabled by coupling modes with different directions. Second, by introducing two or more internal bypass capacitors, the synthetic high-order PT symmetric system bearing such as third-order exceptional point in a single coil resonator can be realized. These results will provide a new paradigm to realize higher-order PT symmetry towards the investigation of non-Hermitian physics in a synthetic perspective, which can be extended to other physical platforms such as optics and acoustics.

Cohomological Hall algebras and perverse coherent sheaves on toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds

We study the Drinfeld double of the (equivariant spherical) Cohomological Hall algebra in the sense of Kontsevich and Soibelman, associated to a smooth toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$. By general reasons, the COHA acts on the cohomology of the moduli spaces of certain perverse coherent systems on $X$ via "raising operators". Conjecturally the COHA action extends to an action of the Drinfeld double by adding the "lowering operators". In this paper, we show that the Drinfeld double is a generalization of the notion of the Cartan doubled Yangian defined earlier by Finkelberg and others. We extend this "$3d$ Calabi-Yau perspective" on the Lie theory furthermore by associating a root system to certain families of $X$. We formulate a conjecture that the above-mentioned action of the Drinfeld double factors through a shifted Yangian of the root system. The shift is explicitly determined by the moduli problem and the choice of stability conditions, and is expressed explicitly in terms of an intersection number in $X$. We check the conjectures in several examples, including a special case of an earlier conjecture of Costello.

Electronic phase separation in topological surface states of rhombohedral graphite

Of the two stable forms of graphite, hexagonal (HG) and rhombohedral (RG), the former is more common and has been studied extensively. RG is less stable, which so far precluded its detailed investigation, despite many theoretical predictions about the abundance of exotic interaction-induced physics. Advances in van der Waals heterostructure technology have now allowed us to make high-quality RG films up to 50 graphene layers thick and study their transport properties. We find that the bulk electronic states in such RG are gapped and, at low temperatures, electron transport is dominated by surface states. Because of topological protection, the surface states are robust and of high quality, allowing the observation of the quantum Hall effect, where RG exhibits phase transitions between gapless semimetallic phase and gapped quantum spin Hall phase with giant Berry curvature. An energy gap can also be opened in the surface states by breaking their inversion symmetry via applying a perpendicular electric field. Moreover, in RG films thinner than 4 nm, a gap is present even without an external electric field. This spontaneous gap opening shows pronounced hysteresis and other signatures characteristic of electronic phase separation, which we attribute to emergence of strongly-correlated electronic surface states.
