Intrinsic mixed-state topological order in a stabilizer system under stochastic decoherence: Strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking from a percolation point of view

Yoshihito Kuno, Takahiro Orito, and Ikuo Ichinose

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064111 (2025) - Published 19 February, 2025

Decoherence on quantum many-body systems induces nontrivial mixed states with specific properties that have no counterparts in pure states. The authors clarify here the emergence of “intrinsic mixed state topological order” in a toric code state under decoherence, which accompanies exotic anyon proliferation. Furthermore, the authors find that the decoherence-induced phase transition in the stabilizer formalism is described by a percolation picture in two dimensions. The viewpoint of one-form symmetry and its spontaneous symmetry breaking plays an important role in this study.

Theory of terahertz-driven magnetic switching in rare-earth orthoferrites: The case of TmFeO3

N. R. Vovk, E. V. Ezerskaya, and R. V. Mikhaylovskiy

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064411 (2025) - Published 7 February, 2025

Antiferromagnetic iron oxides with rare-earth ions provide a promising platform for ultrafast spin switching by light. The magnetic properties in these materials are defined by anisotropic exchange coupling between the rare-earth orbitals and iron spins. Here, the authors present a comprehensive theory, describing the dynamical response of the magnetic rare-earth and iron systems to a strong ultrashort THz pulse. Working out the case of the archetypical orthoferrite TmFeO3, the authors identify different coherent spin switching scenarios in this compound.

Role of nonmagnetic spacers in the magnetic interactions of antiferromagnetic topological insulators MnBi4Te7 and MnBi2Te4

Bing Li, D. M. Pajerowski, J.-Q. Yan, and R. J. McQueeney

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064418 (2025) - Published 14 February, 2025

MnBi4Te7 belongs to a family of magnetic topological insulators formed from a natural heterostructure of magnetic and nonmagnetic blocks. In these materials, magnetism evolves systematically as nonmagnetic spacers are inserted between the magnetic blocks. The authors explore the magnetic interactions in two members of this family, MnBi2Te4 and MnBi4Te7, using inelastic neutron scattering. Comparison reveals that the interlayer magnetic coupling weakens as nonmagnetic blocks are introduced, but other key magnetic energy scales within the magnetic block stay the same.

Solid-state platform for cooperative quantum dynamics driven by correlated emission

Xin Li, Jamir Marino, Darrick E. Chang, and Benedetta Flebus

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064424 (2025) - Published 20 February, 2025

The authors develop here a theoretical framework for the quantum many-body dynamics of a qubit array interacting via the electromagnetic noise of a shared solid-state bath. Applied to an NV-center ensemble coupled to a YIG film, this study demonstrates that robust many-body effects, such as superradiance and subradiance, are within experimental reach, opening new opportunities for engineering collective quantum phenomena in solid-state platforms and advancing multi-qubit quantum sensing approaches.

Magneto-optical conductivity and circular dichroism in d-wave altermagnets

Wang Chen, Xiaoying Zhou, Wen-Kai Lou, and Kai Chang

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064428 (2025) - Published 24 February, 2025

Altermagnetism is a magnetic phase characterized by spin-split band structures without spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and rotation symmetry-compensated net magnetization. Here, the authors uncover the magneto-optical properties of a d-wave altermagnet. They demonstrate that the spin-polarized bands manifest in the anisotropic spin-resolved optical conductivity, enabling circular dichroism. In the absence (presence) of SOC, only intraband (both intraband and interband) transitions occur which satisfy the selection rule ∆n=±1 (∆n=±1,±3). This research provides valuable insights into the unique optical properties of altermagnetic materials.

Charge density waves and pinning by lattice anisotropy in 214 cuprates

Xiao Hu, P. M. Lozano, Feng Ye, Qiang Li, J. Sears, I. A. Zaliznyak, G. D. Gu, and J. M. Tranquada

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064504 (2025) - Published 5 February, 2025

Unlocking the secrets of high-temperature superconductivity, researchers have turned their attention to the La2−x(Ba,Sr)xCuO4 family, where subtle lattice distortions play a pivotal role. By employing neutron diffraction, the authors have successfully identified that the tilt pattern of the CuO6 octahedra, which breaks the fourfold Cu-O bond symmetry, is uniquely responsible for pinning the charge density wave order to the lattice.

Resilience of the quantum critical line in the Schmid transition

Nicolas Paris, Luca Giacomelli, Romain Daviet, Cristiano Ciuti, Nicolas Dupuis, and Christophe Mora

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064509 (2025) - Published 14 February, 2025

The phase diagram of a resistively shunted Josephson junction has been the subject of recent debate. Using a combination of analytical techniques (perturbative renormalization group and conformal field theory) and exact diagonalization, the authors confirm here the traditional phase diagram, where the transition between insulating and superconducting phases occurs when the shunt resistance R is equal to the resistance quantum RQ=e2/h, regardless of the ratio EJ/EC between Josephson energy and charge energy.

Spin current generation due to differential rotation

Takumi Funato, Shunichiro Kinoshita, Norihiro Tanahashi, Shin Nakamura, and Mamoru Matsuo

Phys. Rev. B 111, L060403 (2025) - Published 6 February, 2025

The authors study here nonequilibrium spin dynamics in differentially rotating systems, deriving an effective Hamiltonian for conduction electrons in the comoving frame. In contrast to conventional spin current generation mechanisms that require vorticity, this theory describes spins and spin currents arising from differentially rotating systems regardless of vorticity. They demonstrate the generation of spin currents in differentially rotating systems, such as liquid metals with Taylor-Couette flow. This alternative mechanism will be important in the development of nanomechanical spin devices.

Role of nonmagnetic spacers in the magnetic interactions of antiferromagnetic topological insulators MnBi4Te7 and MnBi2Te4

Phys. Rev. B 111, 064418 (2025) - Published 14 February, 2025

MnBi4Te7 belongs to a family of magnetic topological insulators formed from a natural heterostructure of magnetic and nonmagnetic blocks. In these materials, magnetism evolves systematically as nonmagnetic spacers are inserted between the magnetic blocks. The authors explore the magnetic interactions in two members of this family, MnBi2Te4 and MnBi4Te7, using inelastic neutron scattering. Comparison reveals that the interlayer magnetic coupling weakens as nonmagnetic blocks are introduced, but other key magnetic energy scales within the magnetic block stay the same.

The authors develop here a theoretical framework for the quantum many-body dynamics of a qubit array interacting via the electromagnetic noise of a shared solid-state bath. Applied to an NV-center ensemble coupled to a YIG film, this study demonstrates that robust many-body effects, such as superradiance and subradiance, are within experimental reach, opening new opportunities for engineering collective quantum phenomena in solid-state platforms and advancing multi-qubit quantum sensing approaches.

Altermagnetism is a magnetic phase characterized by spin-split band structures without spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and rotation symmetry-compensated net magnetization. Here, the authors uncover the magneto-optical properties of a d-wave altermagnet. They demonstrate that the spin-polarized bands manifest in the anisotropic spin-resolved optical conductivity, enabling circular dichroism. In the absence (presence) of SOC, only intraband (both intraband and interband) transitions occur which satisfy the selection rule ∆n=±1 (∆n=±1,±3). This research provides valuable insights into the unique optical properties of altermagnetic materials.

Unlocking the secrets of high-temperature superconductivity, researchers have turned their attention to the La2−x(Ba,Sr)xCuO4 family, where subtle lattice distortions play a pivotal role. By employing neutron diffraction, the authors have successfully identified that the tilt pattern of the CuO6 octahedra, which breaks the fourfold Cu-O bond symmetry, is uniquely responsible for pinning the charge density wave order to the lattice.

The phase diagram of a resistively shunted Josephson junction has been the subject of recent debate. Using a combination of analytical techniques (perturbative renormalization group and conformal field theory) and exact diagonalization, the authors confirm here the traditional phase diagram, where the transition between insulating and superconducting phases occurs when the shunt resistance R is equal to the resistance quantum RQ=e2/h, regardless of the ratio EJ/EC between Josephson energy and charge energy.
