Quantum master equation from the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

Peter O'Donovan, Philipp Strasberg, Kavan Modi, John Goold, and Mark T. Mitchison

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014312 (2025) - Published 22 July, 2025

In the theory of open quantum systems, a thermal environment is usually modelled as an infinite, noninteracting system described by an equilibrium Gibbs ensemble. Here, instead, the authors show that chaos – as encoded by the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis – suffices to derive a quantum master equation, which describes the effect of finite-sized, strongly interacting, nonequilibrium environments without invoking a thermal ensemble. The results are directly relevant to experiments on impurities coupled to isolated quantum many-body systems, e.g., ultracold atomic gases.

Instability in domain wall dynamics in almost-compensated ferrimagnets

R. V. Ovcharov, B. A. Ivanov, E. G. Galkina, J. Åkerman, and R. S. Khymyn

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014408 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

The authors show here that ferrimagnets near the angular-momentum compensation point exhibit a unique “explosive” instability in domain wall dynamics, absent in both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Using collective coordinate theory and micromagnetic simulations, they reveal how a driven domain wall, upon reaching the end of its dispersion, enters a highly nonequilibrium state and releases excess energy through a burst of spin waves before stabilizing.

Magnetism in the spin-orbit entangled Jeff=12 triangular-lattice quantum magnet Rb3Yb(VO4)2

Lei Wang, Zhengrong Li, Yingjian Chen, Jiaojiao Cao, Zhengcai Xia, Zhenxing Wang, Hiroyuki Nojiri, and Zhongwen Ouyang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014429 (2025) - Published 15 July, 2025

The authors report here easy-plane magnetic anisotropy and a large crystal field gap in Rb3Yb(VO4)2, a triangular-lattice quantum magnet. High frequency, high field, and wide temperature ESR (HFHFWT-ESR) spectroscopy reveals anisotropic g factors consistent with the crystal symmetry and a well-isolated Jeff = ½ ground state. Combined with magnetic and crystal electric field (CEF) analyses, the results highlight the role of spin-orbit entanglement and magnetic anisotropy in rare-earth systems, establishing this compound as a promising platform for exploring frustrated magnetism and quantum spin liquid (QSL) behavior.

Anomalous and topological Hall effects with phase-space Berry curvatures: Electric, thermal, and thermoelectric transport in magnets

Zachariah Addison, Lauren Keyes, and Mohit Randeria

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014446 (2025) - Published 25 July, 2025

Understanding the unusual Hall effects in magnetic materials that harbor spin textures, such as skyrmions, is a problem of both fundamental and practical importance. The authors develop here a comprehensive semiclassical theory of the anomalous and topological transverse electrical, thermal, and thermoelectric responses in the presence of arbitrary phase-space Berry curvatures. The authors also identify a topological phase transition as a function of the ratio of the spin orbit and exchange coupling.

Tuning the magnetic properties of the spin-split antiferromagnet MnTe through pressure

Edison P. Carlisle, George Yumnam, Stuart Calder, Bianca Haberl, Jia-Xin Xiong, Michael A. McGuire, Alex Zunger, Raphaël P. Hermann, and Benjamin A. Frandsen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014450 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

Hexagonal MnTe is a leading example of collinear antiferromagnets with nonrelativistic spin splitting of the electron bands, often called altermagnets. This material also exhibits an exceptionally large magnetovolume effect. Here, the authors investigate the magnetostructural properties of MnTe and their connection to altermagnetism via neutron diffraction with in situ pressure and density functional theory. They find that pressure is an effective tuning knob for MnTe, increasing the Néel temperature but decreasing the magnetic moment, while also modifying the altermagnetic spin splitting.

Noise-induced stabilization of dynamical states with broken time-reversal symmetry

T. F. Q. Larson, L. Zhao, E. G. Arnault, M. T. Wei, A. Seredinski, H. Li, K. Watanabe, T. Taniguchi, F. Amet, and G. Finkelstein

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014502 (2025) - Published 2 July, 2025

In the inverse Josephson effect, a junction exposed to microwaves develops quantized voltage steps (“Shapiro steps”). Coexisting steps at ±hf/2e lead to spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking as the phase ratchets in one direction. The authors study here switching between these states, which varies dramatically with small parameter changes. Unexpectedly, switching slows at high temperatures, showing noise-induced stabilization. This rare experimental observation, involving dynamic states and broken symmetry, highlights opportunities in stochastic physics and quantum thermodynamics using driven-dissipative systems.

Superconducting phase in KxFe2−ySe2: Critical role of intact FeSe layers

Shaoshuai Hou, Ang Qian, Xingyang Zhang, Shuo Jiang, Mingshu Tan, Xueying Ma, Wei Ren, Shiyu Wang, Ning Zhang, Junwei Zhang, Xianggang Qiu, Anmin Zhang, and Qingming Zhang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014512 (2025) - Published 16 July, 2025

Here, the authors identify and characterize the superconducting phase in KxFe2−ySe2. The Fe:Se ratio in the superconducting phase, along with the number, symmetry, and frequencies of the phonon modes, is consistent with the FeSe layers, indicating that the superconducting phase in the striped regions retains an approximately intact FeSe layer. The findings underscore the critical role of the intact FeSe layer in FeSe-based superconductors and provide new insights into the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.

Probing time-reversal symmetry breaking at microwave frequencies

T. Chouinard and D. M. Broun

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014521 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

To probe spontaneous time reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) in superconductors at microwave frequencies, the authors propose here a technique based on a doubly degenerate resonator mode, such as the TE111 mode of a cylindrical cavity. In addition to the frequency splitting induced by TRSB, which can be dwarfed by spurious shape distortions, the authors show that when such a resonator is interrogated by circularly polarized microwaves, the forward and reverse transmission response breaks reciprocity, providing unambiguous evidence that time-reversal symmetry is broken.

Thermal Hall conductivity in the strongest cuprate superconductor: Estimate of the mean free path in the trilayer cuprate HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ

Munkhtuguldur Altangerel, Quentin Barthélemy, Étienne Lefrançois, Jordan Baglo, Manel Mezidi, Gaël Grissonnanche, Ashvini Vallipuram, Emma Campillo, Anne Forget, Dorothée Colson, Ruixing Liang, D. A. Bonn, W. N. Hardy, Cyril Proust, and Louis Taillefer

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014522 (2025) - Published 30 July, 2025

The authors report here a thermal Hall study of the trilayer cuprate HgBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O8+δ, revealing a remarkably long mean free path for nodal quasiparticles that is comparable to or exceeding that of ultraclean YBCO. They show that the inverse mean free path follows a T3 dependence, consistent with theoretical expectations for clean d-wave superconductors. These findings suggest that the strongest cuprate superconductor is also the cleanest.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014446 (2025) - Published 25 July, 2025

Understanding the unusual Hall effects in magnetic materials that harbor spin textures, such as skyrmions, is a problem of both fundamental and practical importance. The authors develop here a comprehensive semiclassical theory of the anomalous and topological transverse electrical, thermal, and thermoelectric responses in the presence of arbitrary phase-space Berry curvatures. The authors also identify a topological phase transition as a function of the ratio of the spin orbit and exchange coupling.

Hexagonal MnTe is a leading example of collinear antiferromagnets with nonrelativistic spin splitting of the electron bands, often called altermagnets. This material also exhibits an exceptionally large magnetovolume effect. Here, the authors investigate the magnetostructural properties of MnTe and their connection to altermagnetism via neutron diffraction with in situ pressure and density functional theory. They find that pressure is an effective tuning knob for MnTe, increasing the Néel temperature but decreasing the magnetic moment, while also modifying the altermagnetic spin splitting.

In the inverse Josephson effect, a junction exposed to microwaves develops quantized voltage steps (“Shapiro steps”). Coexisting steps at ±hf/2e lead to spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking as the phase ratchets in one direction. The authors study here switching between these states, which varies dramatically with small parameter changes. Unexpectedly, switching slows at high temperatures, showing noise-induced stabilization. This rare experimental observation, involving dynamic states and broken symmetry, highlights opportunities in stochastic physics and quantum thermodynamics using driven-dissipative systems.

Here, the authors identify and characterize the superconducting phase in KxFe2−ySe2. The Fe:Se ratio in the superconducting phase, along with the number, symmetry, and frequencies of the phonon modes, is consistent with the FeSe layers, indicating that the superconducting phase in the striped regions retains an approximately intact FeSe layer. The findings underscore the critical role of the intact FeSe layer in FeSe-based superconductors and provide new insights into the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014521 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

To probe spontaneous time reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) in superconductors at microwave frequencies, the authors propose here a technique based on a doubly degenerate resonator mode, such as the TE111 mode of a cylindrical cavity. In addition to the frequency splitting induced by TRSB, which can be dwarfed by spurious shape distortions, the authors show that when such a resonator is interrogated by circularly polarized microwaves, the forward and reverse transmission response breaks reciprocity, providing unambiguous evidence that time-reversal symmetry is broken.

Thermal Hall conductivity in the strongest cuprate superconductor: Estimate of the mean free path in the trilayer cuprate HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ

Phys. Rev. B 112, 014522 (2025) - Published 30 July, 2025

The authors report here a thermal Hall study of the trilayer cuprate HgBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O8+δ, revealing a remarkably long mean free path for nodal quasiparticles that is comparable to or exceeding that of ultraclean YBCO. They show that the inverse mean free path follows a T3 dependence, consistent with theoretical expectations for clean d-wave superconductors. These findings suggest that the strongest cuprate superconductor is also the cleanest.
