Origin of the magnetic ground state of ${Tb}_{2} {Ir}_{2} O_{7}$

Y. Alexanian, E. Lhotel, J. Robert, S. Petit, E. Lefrançois, P. Lejay, A. Hadj-Azzem, F. Damay, J. Ollivier, B. Fåk, S. De Brion, R. Ballou, and V. Simonet

Phys. Rev. Research 8, 043060 (2026) - Published 16 October, 2026

Rare-earth pyrochlore iridates offer a fertile ground for unconventional magnetic phenomena. In Tb $_{2}$ Ir $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ , the low-temperature magnetic order is particularly unusual, with an additional component orthogonal to the one favored by the predominant interactions. Combining numerical simulations, neutron scattering, and specific heat down to dilution temperatures, this work shows that the quantum nature of Tb $^{3 +}$ ions, subject to rare-earth interactions and to the Ir magnetic field, plays a key role in shaping the magnetic order.

Hierarchy of collective ordering in swarmalator systems

Hyunsuk Hong, Junghyo Jo, and Daniel D. Lee

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042001 (2026) - Published 5 October, 2026

An exactly solvable multispecies spherical spin model is introduced to study the collective equilibrium states of swarmalators, mobile oscillators with coupled spatial and phase degrees of freedom. A unified description of the resulting hierarchy of states, their transitions, and their fundamental relationship to noisy Kuramoto dynamics is provided.

LETTER

Mesoscopic viscous-to-elastic transition as a signature of aging of biomolecular condensates

Minghao Li and Jie Lin

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042002 (2026) - Published 13 October, 2026

A viscoelastic model is developed in which a biomolecular condensate is a composite of viscous and elastic mesoscopic elements connected in series and in parallel, unifying the Maxwell and Jeffreys descriptions as limiting cases. The model indicates that aging of PGL-3 condensates stems from the conversion of viscous elements into two types of elastic ones, leading to exponential or power-law growth of the viscosity with waiting time.

LETTER

Ultraslow diffusion emerging from local symmetry breaking in quenched disorder

Jin Liu, Rainer Klages, Huihai Wang, and Kehui Sun

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042003 (2026) - Published 14 October, 2026

Sparse quenched disorder in finite-strength potential landscapes generates logarithmically ultraslow diffusion through directional channels formed by local symmetry breaking. These channels produce hierarchical capture, escape, and recapture, whereas normal diffusion is restored in the fully disordered limit.

LETTER

High-fidelity molecular quantum logic gates resilient to interaction fluctuation

Yan Lu and Xiao-Feng Shi

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042004 (2026) - Published 14 October, 2026

Although polar molecules are promising candidates for quantum computing, entangling gates built with them suffer from fluctuations in the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI). A high-fidelity molecular gate protocol is introduced that uses an exotic spin echo to suppress population in DDI-active states, alongside a theoretical framework revealing that DDI couples to only half of the motional modes during the gate.

LETTER

Fast and exact approach for stabilizer Rényi entropy via the XOR-FWHT algorithm

Xuyang Huang, Han-Ze Li, Ching Hua Lee, and Jian-Xin Zhong

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042005 (2026) - Published 19 October, 2026

An XOR-FWHT algorithm is presented for the deterministic evaluation of the second-order stabilizer Rényi entropy of generic $N$ -qubit pure states represented as full state vectors, reducing the computational cost from 𝒪(8 $^{N}$ ) to 𝒪( $N$ 4 $^{N}$ ). The method exploits XOR-shifted amplitude correlations and fast Walsh-Hadamard transforms, without relying on sampling or special structure of the input state.

LETTER

Toward fault-tolerant quantum memory with universal continuous-variable gates

Sheron Blair, Francesco Arzani, Giulia Ferrini, and Alessandro Ferraro

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042006 (2026) - Published 19 October, 2026

Universal continuous-variable gate sets are shown to enable fault-tolerant quantum memory. This is achieved via numerical simulation of the generation of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states and comparison with the fault-tolerant memory threshold of the GKP surface code.

LETTER

Quantum disordered ground state and relative proximity to an exactly solvable model in the frustrated magnet ${CeMgAl}_{11} O_{19}$

G. Bastien, A. Eliáš, V. Anderle, A. Kancko, C. A. Corrêa, S. Kumar, P. Proschek, J. Prokleška, L. Nádherný, D. Sedmidubský, T. Treu, P. Gegenwart, M. Kratochvílová, M. Žonda, and R. H. Colman

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042007 (2026) - Published 19 October, 2026

Single-crystal measurements and numerical calculations reveal a quantum-disordered magnetic ground state in the triangular-lattice magnet CeMgAl $_{11}$ O $_{19}$ , with no magnetic ordering observed down to 30 mK. Quantitative comparison with an anisotropic spin-1/2 model places the material further from the exactly solvable quantum critical point than previously estimated, suggesting that structural disorder may contribute to the suppression of magnetic order.

Imaging orbital Rashba induced charge transport anisotropy

Eylon Persky, Xi Wang, Giacomo Sala, Thierry C. van Thiel, Edouard Lesne, Alexander Lau, Mario Cuoco, Marc Gabay, Carmine Ortix, Andrea D. Caviglia, and Beena Kalisky

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042008 (2026) - Published 19 October, 2026

Scanning SQUID current imaging reveals domain-dependent charge transport anisotropy at the (111) LaAlO $_{3}$ /SrTiO $_{3}$ interface and connects it to the nonlinear Hall response. The combined local and global measurements reveal how broken symmetries give rise to anisotropic orbital Rashba coupling and provide an electrical probe of orbital textures.

Space-time Floquet operator: Nonreciprocity and fractional topology of space-time crystals

Abhijeet Melkani and Jayson Paulose

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042009 (2026) - Published 23 October, 2026

A space-time Floquet operator is introduced that captures the long-time dynamics of systems with intertwined spatial and temporal periodicities. The resulting band framework uncovers fractional quantized charge pumping, connects topological windings to Floquet–Bloch oscillations, and predicts nonreciprocal amplification.

LETTER

Freezing and shielding under global quenches for long-range interacting many-body systems

Daniel Arrufat-Vicente and Nicolò Defenu

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042010 (2026) - Published 23 October, 2026

This article reveals that previous observations, in which the nonequilibrium dynamics of long-range models mirror short-range systems under local quenches, reflect a universal feature of long-range interacting quantum systems. This is demonstrated by showing that this feature is also present under global quenches.

LETTER

Bliss of dimensionality: How an unsupervised criterion identifies optimal low-resolution representations of high-dimensional datasets

Margherita Mele, Daniel Campos, and Raffaello Potestio

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042011 (2026) - Published 26 October, 2026

A systematic analysis of the resolution-relevance framework tests the possibility to identify informative low-resolution representations from empirical statistics alone in an unsupervised manner. Across synthetic, image-derived, and molecular datasets, increasing dimensionality or informative content progressively improves the method’s ability to select representations that preserve the underlying distribution, tracing the conditions under which data-driven resolution selection provides a faithful low-resolution description.

LETTER

Unveiling the Bose-Einstein condensate-droplet crossover with Rayleigh superradiant scattering

Mithilesh K. Parit, Mingchen Huang, Ziting Chen, Yifei He, Haoting Zhen, and Gyu-Boong Jo

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042012 (2026) - Published 28 October, 2026

Rayleigh superradiant scattering is used to probe a dipolar $^{166}$ Er gas across the crossover from a Bose-Einstein condensate to a macrodroplet. The scattering efficiency peaks near the crossover, and rapid light-induced atom depletion reveals distinct expansion dynamics in each regime and a crossover shift with magnetic field orientation.

LETTER

Trainable, self-verifying variational quantum eigensolver using adiabatic warm starts

Bojan Žunkovič, Marco Ballarin, Lewis Wright, and Michael Lubasch

Phys. Rev. Research 8, L042013 (2026) - Published 29 October, 2026

A study looks at the conditions under which an adiabatic variational quantum eigensolver succeeds, where approximate ground states generated along an adiabatic path serve as initial states for successive optimization steps. A self-verification procedure based on energy-standard-deviation measurements is introduced that assesses eigenstate accuracy during run-time and verifies convergence to the target ground state.
