Altermagnetism and beyond in the t−t′−δ Fermi-Hubbard model

Saisai He, Jize Zhao, Hong-Gang Luo, and Shijie Hu

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035108 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

Here, the authors explore altermagnetism in the t-t′-δ Fermi-Hubbard model using mean-field analysis and density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations, presenting a detailed ground-state phase diagram at half filling that highlights a diverse array of competing magnetic orders. Key findings include two altermagnetic metallic phases, each with distinctive Fermi surface splitting for the two spin species. Plus, a valence-bond solid phase is identified within a narrow intermediate-t′ region, and its stability is rigorously confirmed by DMRG calculations on cylindrical geometries.

Coadjoint-orbit bosonization of a Fermi surface in a weak magnetic field

Mengxing Ye and Yuxuan Wang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035113 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

The authors develop here a bosonized theory for thermal and magnetic responses of two-dimensional Fermi surfaces, which has not been adequately addressed in bosonization. The theory describes chiral bosons propagating along the Fermi surface and identifies a topological θ-term crucial for capturing the de Haas–van Alphen effect. In addition, the existence of the magnetic field resolves the issue of UV/IR mixing that plagued earlier efforts to calculate the specific heat. This theory offers a powerful new approach to studying the magnetic response of correlated fermions.

A quantum cellular automaton for every symmetry protected topological phase

Lukasz Fidkowski, Jeongwan Haah, and Matthew B. Hastings

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035123 (2025) - Published 8 July, 2025

Quantum cellular automata (QCA) are unitary operations within a many-body Hilbert space that preserve the notion of locality by mapping local observables to nearby local observables. Every local quantum circuit is a QCA, but the reverse is not true, and it is an interesting open problem to classify the “nontrivial” QCA that do not have local circuit representatives. Here, the authors construct a large class of such QCA from disentanglers of ground states of lattice Hamiltonians, representing interacting bosonic analogs of topological superconductors. The topological properties encoded in their ground states translate into the nontrivial nature of the corresponding QCA. This work proposes a general conjecture that relates the quantum information theoretic problem of classifying QCA to the cobordism classification of invertible many-body quantum phases.

Textured exciton insulators

Yves H. Kwan, Ziwei Wang, Glenn Wagner, Steven H. Simon, S. A. Parameswaran, and Nick Bultinck

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035129 (2025) - Published 11 July, 2025

In electronic systems with a spin or valley flavor index, interactions can drive the condensation of flavor excitons, resulting in an excitonic insulator. The authors introduce here textured exciton insulators (TEIs), where the underlying electronic topology forces a momentum-space texture into the excitonic order parameter. This leads to consequences such as a delicate obstruction to atomic localization, and a lower bound on the quantum geometry. The authors demonstrate that one class of TEIs has already been experimentally realized in magic-angle moiré graphene.

Chern-textured exciton insulators with valley spiral order in moiré materials

Ziwei Wang, Yves H. Kwan, Glenn Wagner, Steven H. Simon, Nick Bultinck, and S. A. Parameswaran

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035130 (2025) - Published 11 July, 2025

The authors explore here the phase diagrams of moiré materials in search of a new class of insulating states: the Chern texture insulators. These states spontaneously break the symmetry of independent charge conservation in each “valley” (low-energy regions in momentum space). The valley order parameter has a nontrivial texture in momentum space enforced by the underlying electronic band topology. Using detailed Hartree-Fock studies, the authors establish that such states emerge as competitive ground states in several moiré systems.

Magnetic-field-tuned randomness in inhomogeneous altermagnets

Anzumaan R. Chakraborty, Jörg Schmalian, and Rafael M. Fernandes

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035146 (2025) - Published 16 July, 2025

The authors show here that, although altermagnets do not have a finite magnetization, an external magnetic field can be used to tune their phase diagram due to an effect called piezomagnetism, by which applying strain generates a magnetic field and vice versa. They show that two sources of inhomogeneous strain—elastic fluctuations and crystalline disorder—have opposing effects when a magnetic field is applied: the former favors order and the latter favors disorder. This leads to a rich phase diagram and experimental signatures in the shear modulus and in the elastocaloric effect.

Duality via sequential quantum circuit in the topological holography formalism

Robijn Vanhove, Vibhu Ravindran, David T. Stephen, Xiao-Gang Wen, and Xie Chen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035173 (2025) - Published 31 July, 2025

Dualities describe two quantum theories that secretly describe the same low-energy physics. The authors describe here how dualities emerge in the Topological Holography formalism – sometimes aptly called “sandwich – by changing the gapped boundary condition on top of the topological field theory. The authors show how this can be done on the lattice through the application of sequential quantum circuits and give systematic examples both in two and three dimensions.

Indirect excitons and many-body interactions in InGaAs double quantum wells

Christopher L. Smallwood, Rachel Owen, Matthew W. Day, Takeshi Suzuki, Rohan Singh, Travis M. Autry, Smriti Bhalerao, Fauzia Jabeen, and Steven T. Cundiff

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035305 (2025) - Published 18 July, 2025

Spatially indirect excitons in semiconductors consist of electrons and holes residing in physically different locations. The particles in turn are characterized by enhanced moiré pattern sensitivity, extended lifetimes, and significant tunability. Here, the authors investigate indirect excitons in InGaAs double quantum wells using optical multidimensional coherent spectroscopy and discovering signatures of many-body effects that have relevance to exciton dephasing mechanisms and the role of free-electron continuum states. The findings will have impact on the design of coherent optical emitters, such as lasers.

Phonon-limited valley lifetimes in single-particle bilayer graphene quantum dots

L. Banszerus, K. Hecker, L. Wang, S. Möller, K. Watanabe, T. Taniguchi, G. Burkard, C. Volk, and C. Stampfer

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035409 (2025) - Published 10 July, 2025

The authors report here on single-particle valley lifetimes of up to several microseconds in a bilayer graphene quantum dot via a pulse-gating technique. An out-of-plane magnetic field dependence reveals electron-phonon coupling as the dominant relaxation mechanism. These findings highlight bilayer graphene as a promising platform for valley-based quantum technology.

Soliton-like domain wall motion in sliding ferroelectrics with ultralow damping

Yubai Shi, Yuxiang Gao, Hua Wang, Bingwen Zhang, Zhicheng Zhong, and Ri He

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035421 (2025) - Published 21 July, 2025

The authors report here soliton-like domain wall motion with ultralow damping in sliding ferroelectrics, leading to inertial motion even after the external field is removed. This behavior, fundamentally distinct from that in conventional ferroelectrics and ferromagnets, highlights the potential of sliding ferroelectrics for applications in racetrack memories and neuromorphic devices.

T-matrix method for computation of second-harmonic generation upon optical wave scattering from clusters of arbitrary particles: Application to nonlinear optical interaction of bound states in the continuum

Ivan Sekulic, Ji Tong Wang, Jian Wei You, and Nicolae C. Panoiu

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035426 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

The problem of solving nonlinear scattering of optical waves from arbitrary distributions of particles becomes practically intractable when the number of particles is larger than just a few. Here, the authors introduce an approach based on multiple-scattering matrix theory that solves this problem for clusters of thousands of particles of arbitrary shape made of materials characterized by general frequency-dispersion relations, so that it describes the optical response of metallic, semiconductor, and polaritonic particles. To illustrate the versatility of the method, the enhancement of second-harmonic generation in a cluster of particles that supports bound-states in the continuum at both the fundamental frequency and second harmonic is demonstrated.

Phase transitions in a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model via Krylov spread complexity

E. Medina-Guerra, I. V. Gornyi, and Yuval Gefen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035427 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

The authors present here a tour de force exploration of phase transitions in a non-Hermitian SSH model using Krylov spread complexity and fidelity. These tools detect the PT symmetry breaking as the spectrum evolves from real to complex and further into the purely imaginary regime. The Krylov spread captures both known and previously overlooked transitions. Notably, the fidelity highlights dynamical transitions in the PT-broken phase, offering a novel probe for understanding non-Hermitian quantum systems and their emergent behavior.

Dualities describe two quantum theories that secretly describe the same low-energy physics. The authors describe here how dualities emerge in the Topological Holography formalism – sometimes aptly called “sandwich – by changing the gapped boundary condition on top of the topological field theory. The authors show how this can be done on the lattice through the application of sequential quantum circuits and give systematic examples both in two and three dimensions.

Spatially indirect excitons in semiconductors consist of electrons and holes residing in physically different locations. The particles in turn are characterized by enhanced moiré pattern sensitivity, extended lifetimes, and significant tunability. Here, the authors investigate indirect excitons in InGaAs double quantum wells using optical multidimensional coherent spectroscopy and discovering signatures of many-body effects that have relevance to exciton dephasing mechanisms and the role of free-electron continuum states. The findings will have impact on the design of coherent optical emitters, such as lasers.

The authors report here on single-particle valley lifetimes of up to several microseconds in a bilayer graphene quantum dot via a pulse-gating technique. An out-of-plane magnetic field dependence reveals electron-phonon coupling as the dominant relaxation mechanism. These findings highlight bilayer graphene as a promising platform for valley-based quantum technology.

The authors report here soliton-like domain wall motion with ultralow damping in sliding ferroelectrics, leading to inertial motion even after the external field is removed. This behavior, fundamentally distinct from that in conventional ferroelectrics and ferromagnets, highlights the potential of sliding ferroelectrics for applications in racetrack memories and neuromorphic devices.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035426 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

The problem of solving nonlinear scattering of optical waves from arbitrary distributions of particles becomes practically intractable when the number of particles is larger than just a few. Here, the authors introduce an approach based on multiple-scattering matrix theory that solves this problem for clusters of thousands of particles of arbitrary shape made of materials characterized by general frequency-dispersion relations, so that it describes the optical response of metallic, semiconductor, and polaritonic particles. To illustrate the versatility of the method, the enhancement of second-harmonic generation in a cluster of particles that supports bound-states in the continuum at both the fundamental frequency and second harmonic is demonstrated.

Phase transitions in a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model via Krylov spread complexity

E. Medina-Guerra, I. V. Gornyi, and Yuval Gefen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 035427 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

The authors present here a tour de force exploration of phase transitions in a non-Hermitian SSH model using Krylov spread complexity and fidelity. These tools detect the PT symmetry breaking as the spectrum evolves from real to complex and further into the purely imaginary regime. The Krylov spread captures both known and previously overlooked transitions. Notably, the fidelity highlights dynamical transitions in the PT-broken phase, offering a novel probe for understanding non-Hermitian quantum systems and their emergent behavior.
