Efficient optimization and conceptual barriers in variational finite projected entangled pair states

Daniel Alcalde Puente, Erik Lennart Weerda, Konrad Schröder, and Matteo Rizzi

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195120 (2025) - Published 12 May, 2025

The authors investigate here a sampling-based optimization scheme for finite projected entangled pair states (PEPS), uncovering an entanglement phase transition in random PEPS that corresponds to a computational complexity shift in tensor network contractions, and extend the complexity analysis to physically relevant states. The method is applied to challenging systems, including a chiral spin liquid and Rydberg atom arrays with long-range interactions, demonstrating its ability to model state-of-the-art cold atom experiments.

Proof of absence of local conserved quantities in two- and higher-dimensional quantum Ising models

Yuuya Chiba

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195130 (2025) - Published 16 May, 2025

Local conserved quantities are key to understanding macroscopic phenomena, and their absence indicates quantum nonintegrability. Here, the author rigorously proves that quantum Ising models on two- and higher-dimensional lattices possess no local conserved quantities. The proof holds for arbitrary parameter values, thereby theoretically confirming that there are no integrable systems other than the trivial case. Their result establishes this widely studied model as a definitive example of a nonintegrable quantum many-body system.

Superconductivity and electron correlations in the kagome metal LuOs3B2

Yusen Xiao, Qingchen Duan, Tao jia, Yajing Cui, Shaohua Liu, Zhiwei Wen, Liangwen Ji, Ruidan Zhong, Yongliang Chen, and Yong Zhao

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195132 (2025) - Published 16 May, 2025

The authors report superconductivity at Tc~4.63 K in the ideal kagome lattice LuOs3B2. Combined resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat measurements confirm a moderately coupled superconducting state, while enhanced Wilson ratios suggest electron correlations. First-principles calculations reveal the nontrivial topological features, with spin-orbit coupling opening gaps at Dirac points. This work paves the way for exploring superconductivity, electronic correlations, and topological states in this compound.

Nature of electronic phase transitions in substituted α−(BEDT−TTF)2I3 studied by generalized ellipsometry

Achyut Tiwari, Bruno Gompf, Savita Priya, Dieter Schweitzer, Reizo Kato, Koichi Hiraki, and Martin Dressel

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195142 (2025) - Published 20 May, 2025

The nature of phase transitions in strongly correlated systems remains a longstanding puzzle. Using advanced Mueller matrix ellipsometry and effective medium approximation, this study uncovers the microscopic behavior of phase transitions in α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and its substituted salts. The results confirm the first-order nature of the transition, quantify phase coexistence, and reveal fundamental differences in transition mechanisms. This work offers a powerful approach to exploring the complex nature of phase transitions in correlated electron systems.

Decomposing electronic structures in twisted multilayers: Bridging spectra and incommensurate wave functions

Citian Wang and Huaqing Huang

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195161 (2025) - Published 27 May, 2025

The authors present here a unified theoretical framework for describing the electronic structure of twisted multilayer systems, including both commensurate and incommensurate cases. Their method decomposes physical observables into layer- and momentum-resolved contributions and introduces a low-rank Hamiltonian approximation for efficient computation. The framework is validated through calculations of spectral function and optical conductivity on moiré and quasicrystalline twisted bilayer graphene.

Haldane phase, field-induced magnetic ordering, and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid behavior in the spin-one chain compound NiC2O4·2NH3

Shuo Li, Zhanlong Wu, Yanhong Wang, Jun Luo, Kefan Du, Xiaoyu Xu, Ze Hu, Ying Chen, Jie Yang, Zhengxin Liu, Rong Yu, Yi Cui, Rui Zhou, Hongcheng Lu, and Weiqiang Yu

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195164 (2025) - Published 29 May, 2025

The Haldane phase is a celebrated example of a magnetic topological phase but rarely reported in materials. The authors show here an NMR study on the spin-1 chain magnet NiC2O4·2NH3, which determines its ground state to be a Haldane phase at zero field. An applied magnetic field induces a magnetic ordering at low temperatures and a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phase above the ordering temperature with attractive fermionic interactions.

Optical orientation of excitons and charge carriers in methylammonium lead iodide perovskite single crystals in the orthorhombic phase

Nataliia E. Kopteva, Dmitri R. Yakovlev, Eyüp Yalcin, Ilya A. Akimov, Mladen Kotur, Bekir Turedi, Dmitry N. Dirin, Maksym V. Kovalenko, and Manfred Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195201 (2025) - Published 1 May, 2025

The authors demonstrate here efficient optical spin orientation in orthorhombic MAPbI3 perovskite crystals at a temperature of 1.6 K. Exciton polarization reaches 85% and persists throughout their lifetime. It is robust to detuning excitation energy up to 0.4 eV. Spin dynamics reveal inactive Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation, long spin-relaxation times, and distinct Landé g-factors for electrons and holes. Magnetic field effects and spin beats expose contributions from localized carriers.

Transition metal–hydrogen complexes in SnO2

F. Herklotz, I. Chaplygin, E. V. Lavrov, V. V. Melnikov, Z. Galazka, and L. Vines

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195208 (2025) - Published 14 May, 2025

The authors investigate here transition metal–hydrogen complexes in SnO2 using infrared spectroscopy, SIMS, and first-principles calculations. They identify distinct OH vibrational modes linked to Fe and Cr substitutional centers, and observe a new electronic transition tentatively assigned to Ir. These findings clarify how hydrogen interacts with dopants in SnO2, offering insights into defect structures that influence conductivity, catalytic activity, and optical properties, critical for optimizing this material in sensing, electronics, and energy applications.

Crystal symmetry selected pure spin photocurrent in altermagnetic insulators

Ruizhi Dong, Ranquan Cao, Dian Tan, and Ruixiang Fei

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195210 (2025) - Published 15 May, 2025

Spin current generation in altermagnets is a central focus in spintronics. While the time-reversal-odd spin Hall effect is significant in metallic systems, insulating behavior is more common in antiferromagnets. Here, the authors demonstrate that pure spin currents can be generated in altermagnetic insulators through nonlinear photogalvanic effects, specifically via shift and injection currents. Remarkably, these mechanisms remain effective in producing directional pure spin currents even with spin-orbit coupling, in contrast to previous findings in nonmagnetic and parity-time symmetric antiferromagnetic materials.

Optical absorption of subwavelength silicon nanoparticles at telecom wavelengths

Moritz Jünnemann, Nicola Carlon Zambon, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Minoru Fujii, Lukas Novotny, and Martin Frimmer

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195304 (2025) - Published 12 May, 2025

This study investigates the absorption of light at 1550 nm wavelength by silicon nanoparticles. The authors identify a temperature dependence of the optical absorption, which grows as the particles become hotter. The presented measurements indicate a thermal runaway that leads to destruction of the particles when heated beyond a critical temperature. This work can support the development of quantum optomechanics experiments, where silicon nanoparticles have been considered promising candidates to serve as test masses to investigate quantum superposition effects.

Systematic investigation of dynamic nuclear polarization with boron vacancy in hexagonal boron nitride

Yuki Nakamura, Shunsuke Nishimura, Takuya Iwasaki, Shu Nakaharai, Shinichi Ogawa, Yukinori Morita, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Kento Sasaki, and Kensuke Kobayashi

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195404 (2025) - Published 2 May, 2025

The authors present here a systematic investigation of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using the negatively charged boron vacancy (VB−) in hBN. They measure optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectra across a wide magnetic field range, including the ground state level anticrossing, and develop Lindblad-based simulations with a single electron spin and three 15N nuclear spins. The results reveal limitations of standard fitting methods and symmetry-induced constraints on maximum nuclear polarization.

Impact of phonon lifetimes on the single-photon indistinguishability in quantum emitters based on two-dimensional materials

Alexander Steinhoff, Steffen Wilksen, Ivan Solovev, Christian Schneider, and Christopher Gies

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195431 (2025) - Published 28 May, 2025

Many advanced quantum technologies rely on quantum interference of indistinguishable photons. Quantum emitters made from 2D semiconductors promise cost-efficient single-photon sources. Here, the authors report a fundamental reduction of the achievable photon indistinguishability compared to 3D systems due to increased exciton-phonon coupling efficiency. In particular, coherence is affected by the finite phonon lifetime in the 2D material. Although embedding the quantum emitters in a cavity partly remedies decoherence effects through Purcell enhancement, a maximum achievable indistinguishability of below 50% is predicted.

Phase-controlled minimal Kitaev chain in multiterminal Josephson junctions

Samuel D. Escribano, Anders Enevold Dahl, Karsten Flensberg, and Yuval Oreg

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195433 (2025) - Published 30 May, 2025

The authors propose here a nanodevice based on a double three-terminal Josephson junction (3TJJ) for the creation and detection of poor man’s Majorana (PMM) modes. Together with identifying the necessary conditions for the emergence of PMM modes, the authors propose a feasible protocol based on conductance measurements to reliably detect these modes. Unlike traditional approaches, the design eliminates the need for magnetic fields, potentially increasing the energy-level resolution and significantly expanding the range of compatible semiconductor materials, such as Ge-based heterostructures.

The authors investigate here transition metal–hydrogen complexes in SnO2 using infrared spectroscopy, SIMS, and first-principles calculations. They identify distinct OH vibrational modes linked to Fe and Cr substitutional centers, and observe a new electronic transition tentatively assigned to Ir. These findings clarify how hydrogen interacts with dopants in SnO2, offering insights into defect structures that influence conductivity, catalytic activity, and optical properties, critical for optimizing this material in sensing, electronics, and energy applications.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195210 (2025) - Published 15 May, 2025

Spin current generation in altermagnets is a central focus in spintronics. While the time-reversal-odd spin Hall effect is significant in metallic systems, insulating behavior is more common in antiferromagnets. Here, the authors demonstrate that pure spin currents can be generated in altermagnetic insulators through nonlinear photogalvanic effects, specifically via shift and injection currents. Remarkably, these mechanisms remain effective in producing directional pure spin currents even with spin-orbit coupling, in contrast to previous findings in nonmagnetic and parity-time symmetric antiferromagnetic materials.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195304 (2025) - Published 12 May, 2025

This study investigates the absorption of light at 1550 nm wavelength by silicon nanoparticles. The authors identify a temperature dependence of the optical absorption, which grows as the particles become hotter. The presented measurements indicate a thermal runaway that leads to destruction of the particles when heated beyond a critical temperature. This work can support the development of quantum optomechanics experiments, where silicon nanoparticles have been considered promising candidates to serve as test masses to investigate quantum superposition effects.

The authors present here a systematic investigation of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using the negatively charged boron vacancy (VB−) in hBN. They measure optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectra across a wide magnetic field range, including the ground state level anticrossing, and develop Lindblad-based simulations with a single electron spin and three 15N nuclear spins. The results reveal limitations of standard fitting methods and symmetry-induced constraints on maximum nuclear polarization.

Impact of phonon lifetimes on the single-photon indistinguishability in quantum emitters based on two-dimensional materials

Alexander Steinhoff, Steffen Wilksen, Ivan Solovev, Christian Schneider, and Christopher Gies

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195431 (2025) - Published 28 May, 2025

Many advanced quantum technologies rely on quantum interference of indistinguishable photons. Quantum emitters made from 2D semiconductors promise cost-efficient single-photon sources. Here, the authors report a fundamental reduction of the achievable photon indistinguishability compared to 3D systems due to increased exciton-phonon coupling efficiency. In particular, coherence is affected by the finite phonon lifetime in the 2D material. Although embedding the quantum emitters in a cavity partly remedies decoherence effects through Purcell enhancement, a maximum achievable indistinguishability of below 50% is predicted.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 195433 (2025) - Published 30 May, 2025

The authors propose here a nanodevice based on a double three-terminal Josephson junction (3TJJ) for the creation and detection of poor man’s Majorana (PMM) modes. Together with identifying the necessary conditions for the emergence of PMM modes, the authors propose a feasible protocol based on conductance measurements to reliably detect these modes. Unlike traditional approaches, the design eliminates the need for magnetic fields, potentially increasing the energy-level resolution and significantly expanding the range of compatible semiconductor materials, such as Ge-based heterostructures.
