Symmetry-enriched topological order and quasifractonic behavior in $Z_{N}$ stabilizer codes

Siyu He and Hao Song

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205110 (2026) - Published 5 May, 2026

Here, the authors study the ℤ $_{N}$ bivariate-bicycle (BB) codes, a versatile class of exactly solvable models that generalize binary BB codes and arise naturally from gauging modulated symmetries. They show that the core topological properties can be determined by the associated ℤ $_{p}$ codes for the prime factors of $N$ , enabling efficient extraction of topological invariants via algebraic-geometric (BKK) and computational (Gröbner) methods. They further elucidate the translation-symmetry–enriched structure underlying quasifractonic mobility, thereby resolving a key puzzle regarding how anyons move in these models.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Continuum theory for topological phase transitions in exciton systems

Xiaochan Cai, Armando Consiglio, Domenico Di Sante, Ronny Thomale, and Werner Hanke

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205121 (2026) - Published 8 May, 2026

Due to their enhanced diffusion properties, topological excitons crucially determine the optoelectronic properties of many materials. Here, the authors show that the exciton Chern number ( $C_{exc}$ ) is directly connected to the topological charges ( $N_{3}$ ) of band-crossing points (BCPs) in the exciton band structure, enabling a continuum-theory description based solely on the information of excitons at these BCPs occurring at $Q = 0$ and finite- $Q$ points. This provides an efficient route to extract exciton topology at a greatly reduced computational effort, avoiding the demanding solution of the exciton equation of motion.

Dichroism from chiral thermoelectric probes: Generalized sum rules for orbital and heat magnetizations

Baptiste Bermond, Lucila Peralta Gavensky, Anaïs Defossez, and Nathan Goldman

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205127 (2026) - Published 11 May, 2026

The authors introduce here a unified sum‑rule framework linking thermoelectric excitation spectra to ground‑state properties and encompassing both topological responses and magnetizations. Under chiral thermoelectric driving, dichroic absorption directly probes Kubo correlators, placing orbital and heat magnetizations on equal footing with the Chern number. A hierarchical decomposition, real‑space markers, and a heat quantum metric emerge, opening practical routes to measuring thermoelectric responses in quantum matter.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Symmetries of excitons

Muralidhar Nalabothula, Davide Sangalli, Fulvio Paleari, Sven Reichardt, and Ludger Wirtz

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205130 (2026) - Published 11 May, 2026

Here, the authors introduce a complete, unified framework for understanding exciton symmetries across a broad class of materials, including 3D crystals, 2D materials, and molecules. This approach classifies excitons by their transformation properties under symmetry operations and enables the derivation of selection rules for coupling to photons and other quasiparticles, such as phonons. Additionally, they demonstrate how to leverage these symmetries to significantly accelerate state-of-the-art exciton calculations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Excited states from local effective Hamiltonians of matrix product states and their entanglement spectrum transition

Denise Cocchiarella, Mingru Yang, Yueshui Zhang, Mari Carmen Bañuls, Hong-Hao Tu, and Yuhan Liu

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205145 (2026) - Published 26 May, 2026

Excited states of interacting systems are generally difficult to access. In one-dimensional critical systems, however, they can be obtained from the variational matrix product state optimization of the ground state, specifically from eigenvectors of the local effective Hamiltonian constructed from it. Here, the authors provide a conformal field theory perspective that explains the success of this method. They further predict, and numerically confirm, an entanglement-spectrum transition with subsystem-to-system size ratio, by a reorganization of conformal towers.

Anisotropic magnetoelastic coupling in the honeycomb magnet ${Na}_{3} {Co}_{2} {SbO}_{6}$

Prashanta K. Mukharjee, Sebastian Erdmann, Lichen Wang, Julian Kaiser, Anton Jesche, Pascal Puphal, Masahiko Isobe, Matthias Hepting, Bernhard Keimer, Philipp Gegenwart, and Alexander A. Tsirlin

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205148 (2026) - Published 26 May, 2026

Kitaev honeycomb magnets may be magnetically ordered in zero field, but a spin-liquid state could emerge near a field-induced quantum critical point according to theory. Here, the authors use thermodynamic probes down to sub-Kelvin temperature to study the Kitaev candidate Na $_{3}$ Co $_{2}$ SbO $_{6}$ and show the absence of quantum criticality therein. Instead, the material reveals highly anisotropic magnetoelastic coupling that adds a new twist to Kitaev honeycomb magnets.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Super moiré domain tessellations, sliding ferroelectricity, and reconfigurable quantum dot arrays in twisted trilayer hexagonal boron nitride

Kunihiro Yananose, Changwon Park, and Young-Woo Son

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205407 (2026) - Published 4 May, 2026

Localized states are known to form in semiconducting moiré materials, but the bilayer geometry precludes $i n$ $s i t u$ tuning of the interactions between them. Based on large-scale simulations, the authors show here that electrically tuning the polar domains of twisted trilayer hexagonal boron nitrides reconfigures extensive arrays of quantum dots, in which localized states realize ideal quantum harmonic oscillator wavefunctions. This capability stems from the various domain tessellations of trilayer moiré systems, which contrast sharply with the simple triangular pattern of bilayers.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Enhanced superconducting diode effect in hybrid Josephson junctions

Peng Yu, Han Fu, William F. Schiela, William Strickland, Bassel Heiba Elfeky, S. M. Farzaneh, Jacob Issokson, Wei Pan, Enrico Rossi, and Javad Shabani

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205411 (2026) - Published 8 May, 2026

Engineering the geometry of planar Josephson junctions can unlock enhanced functionalities, including an increased superconducting gap and a stronger superconducting diode effect. Here, the authors introduce a novel junction geometry featuring gate-tunable hole arrays embedded within the superconducting leads, enabling control over Andreev reflection. When a top gate depletes the 2DEG in the hole-array region, the superconducting diode effect is significantly enhanced while the overall supercurrent remains largely preserved. Theoretical analysis reveals that this enhancement originates from increased asymmetry in band-dependent transparency across the junction.

7/3 fractional quantum Hall state in GaAs double quantum wells

Mandun Fu, Ian Farrer, David A. Ritchie, and Sanjeev Kumar

Phys. Rev. B 113, 205433 (2026) - Published 28 May, 2026

The authors show here how electrostatic coupling and spin physics reshape the 7/3 fractional quantum Hall state in an uncoupled GaAs bilayer system. Gate tuning balances an incompressible integer state ( $ν$ =1) and a fragile fractional composite-fermion state ( $ν$ =4/3), producing a double-minimum structure in longitudinal resistance within a single 7/3 Hall plateau. Tilt-angle measurements reveal that the evolution and merger of two minima are controlled by interlayer charge redistribution, composite-fermion spin polarization, and electron interactions.

LETTER

Quantum geometric origin of the intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect

Yannis Ulrich, Johannes Mitscherling, Laura Classen, and Andreas P. Schnyder

Phys. Rev. B 113, L201107 (2026) - Published 4 May, 2026

Quantum geometry, which encodes the momentum-space structure of Bloch electrons in crystals, both governs nonlinear transport and can be probed through it. Using a systematic, gauge-invariant projector formalism, the authors develop here a quantum-geometric classification of the nonlinear Hall effect. They identify a previously overlooked intraband quantum metric dipole, disentangle contributions by symmetry, and clarify inconsistencies in earlier formulations. The work highlights nonlinear transport as a sensitive probe of quantum geometry, especially near topological band crossings.

Self-consistent Coulomb interactions from constrained dynamical mean-field theory

Antik Sihi, Subhasish Mandal, and Kristjan Haule

Phys. Rev. B 113, L201116 (2026) - Published 29 May, 2026

Here, the authors develop constrained dynamical mean-field theory, a self-consistent first-principles approach for determining screened Coulomb interactions in correlated materials. The method incorporates local vertex corrections within the same many-body framework used to compute electronic spectra, yielding interaction strengths that enable excellent agreement with photoemission experiments across Mott insulators, correlated metals, altermagnets, and unconventional superconductors.

Disorder-induced liquid-solid phase coexistence in two-dimensional electron systems

Sandeep Joy and Brian Skinner

Phys. Rev. B 113, L201117 (2026) - Published 28 May, 2026

Here, the authors demonstrate that disorder can qualitatively alter the liquid-solid phase transition for two-dimensional electron systems, leading to an enhanced stability of the Wigner crystal and a broad regime of solid–liquid phase coexistence. The results offer an explanation for recent imaging experiments using scanning tunneling microscopy.

LETTER

Bulk thermal conductance of the 5/2 and 7/3 fractional quantum Hall states in the Corbino geometry

F. Boivin, M. Petrescu, Z. Berkson-Korenberg, K. W. West, L. N. Pfeiffer, and G. Gervais

Phys. Rev. B 113, L201301 (2026) - Published 21 May, 2026

The peculiar 5/2 fractional quantum Hall state is a promising platform for fault-tolerant quantum computation, provided that the exact nature of its wave function can be understood. Here, using an exceptionally high-electron-mobility device patterned in the Corbino geometry, the authors report measurements of the pure bulk thermal conductance in the 5/2 and 7/3 fractional quantum Hall states. The data reveal a strong violation of the Wiedemann–Franz law, in agreement with a recent study published in $N a t u r e$ , and suggest that the underlying wave function at filling factor 5/2 is particle–hole symmetric.

Quantum geometric map of magnetotransport

Longjun Xiang, Jinxiong Jia, Fuming Xu, and Jian Wang

Phys. Rev. B 113, L201406 (2026) - Published 15 May, 2026

Here, the authors establish a unified quantum geometric map for magnetotransport, revealing that magnetononlinear Hall, planar Hall, and ordinary Hall effects originate from distinct quantum geometric quantities, including Zeeman quantum metric and Berry curvature multipoles. This framework uncovers previously overlooked interband contributions to the ordinary Hall effect and predicts a step-like spin-induced planar Hall response, providing a powerful guide for interpreting and designing magnetotransport experiments in quantum materials.

LETTER

Adiabatic non-Abelian braiding of imperfect Majorana bound states

Maximilian Nitsch, Viktor Svensson, William Samuelson, Konstantin Nestmann, Jeroen Danon, Karsten Flensberg, Rubén Seoane Souto, and Martin Leijnse

Phys. Rev. B 113, L201408 (2026) - Published 21 May, 2026

Majorana zero modes promise topologically protected quantum operations through braiding, but realistic devices often host imperfect, overlapping states which are, in a sense, somewhere between Majorana modes and conventional fermions. By introducing a compensation protocol that dynamically corrects energy splitting, the authors theoretically demonstrate here how adiabatic and robust braiding operations can be performed also on such imperfect Majoranas. Their results show that these states are in general non-Abelian, with an Abelian braiding result occurring only in the perfect fermion limit.
