摘要:

The nature of the broken time reversal symmetry (BTRS) state in Sr2RuO4 remains a long-standing puzzle, and its relation to superconductivity remains controversial. There are various universal predictions for the BTRS state when it is associated with a multicomponent superconducting order parameter. In particular, in the BTRS superconducting state, spontaneous fields appear around crystalline defects, impurities, superconducting domain walls and sample surfaces. Here, we aimed to verify these predictions for Sr2RuO4 by performing muon spin relaxation (μSR) measurements on Sr2?xLaxRuO4 single crystals. We observed that the enhanced muon spin depolarisation rate in the superconducting state ?Λ, monotonically decreases with La doping. The observed behaviour is consistent with ?Λ ∝ Tc2, indicating that homogeneous La substitution is not a source of spontaneous magnetic fields, but the spontaneous fields are altered by the suppression of superconducting critical temperature (Tc) with La-doping. Qualitatively different behaviour is observed for the effects of disorder and Ru inclusions. By analysing a large number of samples measured in the previous works, we found that the ?Λ is small for pure Sr2RuO4 single crystals and increases with disorder or impurities. The strongest enhancement is observed in the crystals with Ru-inclusions, which show enhanced Tc. The comparative study allowed us to conclude that spontaneous fields in the BTRS superconducting state of Sr2RuO4 appear around inhomogeneities and, at the same time, decrease with the suppression of Tc. The observed behaviour is consistent with the prediction for multicomponent BTRS superconductivity.

摘要:

In the last 15 years, we have learned that physical vapor deposition (PVD) can prepare ultrastable and anisotropic glasses with striking material properties. ?Almost all of this work has been performed on single component systems. ?The investigation of multicomponent PVD glasses is motivated by the technological importance of co-deposited glasses of organic semiconductors for the production of organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. ?For co-deposited systems, we are interested in understanding how to form stable glasses, predict anisotropic packing, and control component dispersion. ?In the last three years, we have investigated co-deposition of roughly a dozen pairs of molecules, utilizing components that form ultrastable glasses as pure materials.

Most of our codepositions yield ultrastable glasses (high density, high kinetic stability, low enthalpy), which generally have about the same stability as vapor-deposited glasses of the pure components. ?Surprisingly, this occurs even when the two components have strikingly different Tg values (Tg,A/Tg,B = 1.5); we interpret this to mean that both components are highly mobile at the free surface for depositions near 0.85 Tg,mixture. ?DSC measurements are a useful tool for these systems. ?For these mixed ultrastable systems, average molecular orientation can be predicted from single component data.

In a few cases, co-deposition results in glasses in which the components are partially segregated. ?For example, when DO37 is codeposited with TPD, domains from 30 – 120 nm are formed, depending upon the substrate temperature. DO37 and TPD are not miscible in the liquid state, which explains the thermodynamic driving force for domain formation. ?Soft x-ray scattering is a useful tool for characterizing domain formation.

摘要:

Rydberg tweezer arrays provide a versatile platform to explore new types of strongly correlated many-body physics. Different types of interactions, such as dipolar XY, ?van-der-Waals Ising ?ZZ, and spin-flip terms, can simultaneously exist. Furthermore, the Rydberg blockade mechanism can be used to prevent the excitation of another, nearby-situated Rydberg atom akin to the Gauss law in lattice gauge theory. In the talk I give an overview of the current state of the art and discuss pros and cons of this approach bridging the fields of quantum magnetism, super-solids, transfer loading from tweezers to optical lattices, spin squeezing, dynamically prepared topological states, and comment on hybrid analog-digital approaches.

摘要:

Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer在1957年創(chuàng)立了著名的BCS理論，第一次讓人類認(rèn)識到超導(dǎo)發(fā)生的根本原因是電子系統(tǒng)配對以后發(fā)生凝聚，形成一個宏觀量子相干態(tài)。該理論認(rèn)為電子配對是通過交換虛聲子而發(fā)生的，因此在該理論框架下高溫超導(dǎo)就需要好的庫倫屏蔽、高德拜溫度和強(qiáng)的電聲子耦合。然而銅基、鐵基和鎳基高溫超導(dǎo)體卻表現(xiàn)出來全新的要素和規(guī)律。本報告試圖從它們表現(xiàn)出來的共性出發(fā)談一談對高溫超導(dǎo)的理解。首先要有強(qiáng)的反鐵磁類的超交換能，正是這種超交換提供了電子配對的原始驅(qū)動力；其次要有很好匹配的電子巡游自由度，建立起超流密度和相位相干。這兩者在銅基、鐵基和鎳基系統(tǒng)中因為電子結(jié)構(gòu)的不同，會有所差異，但是都有一定的證據(jù)，并且好的超導(dǎo)態(tài)需要這兩者得到很好的統(tǒng)一。我們將從這些材料的基本特性出發(fā)，探討它們所表現(xiàn)出來的共性結(jié)果，如能隙結(jié)構(gòu)和可能的BEC-BCS轉(zhuǎn)變等。

摘要:

The orbital angular momentum of electrons offers a promising, yet underexplored, degree of freedom for ultrafast, energy-efficient information processing. As the foundation of orbitronics, understanding how orbital polarizations propagate and convert into charge currents is essential but remains elusive due to the challenge in disentangling orbital and spin dynamics in thin films. While some theoretical studies predict that orbital transport is constrained to sub-atomic-layer scales in materials, recent experiments have reported exceptionally long orbital diffusion lengths. To address this contradiction, we combine terahertz emission spectroscopy with a wedge-sample platform to systematically investigate spin and orbital transport in heavy metals with sub-nanometer resolution. Our measurements access the previously unexplored thin-film regimes (<3?nm), uncovering anomalous behaviors that challenge the prevailing interpretations of long-range orbital transport. We consistently find the orbital diffusion lengths (λL) to be substantially shorter than the spin diffusion lengths (λS) in heavy metals, with λL in W approaching 0.36 nm. Interface-sensitive control experiments further rule out interfacial orbital-to-charge conversion as the dominant mechanism, supporting the bulk inverse orbital Hall effect as the primary conversion process.

摘要:

The four-dimensional quantum Hall effect (4D QHE) was first theoretically proposed by S.C. Zhang et al. in 2001 and is closely related to the SU(2) Yang monopole in five-dimensional space. For a long time, this theory lacked suitable material systems for experimental verification. In 2008 and 2009, the groups of S.C. Zhang and D. Vanderbilt independently demonstrated that, by treating three-dimensional space together with time as a four-dimensional parameter space, the 4D QHE can manifest as the topological magnetoelectric effect (TME) in three-dimensional topological insulators. Analogous to the two-dimensional quantum Hall effect characterized by the first Chern number, the 4D QHE is characterized by the second Chern number. Currently, three-dimensional topological insulators serve as the primary material platform for 4D QHE research, but the expected TME signal is extremely weak, necessitating ultra-high-sensitivity measurement techniques.

In this talk, I will present our recent breakthroughs in addressing this long-standing experimental challenge. First, using the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) system as a validation platform, we developed an ultra-sensitive out-of-plane charge accumulation measurement technique with a resolution of <0.1 fC/Gs, achieving the first observation of quantized charge accumulation in the multi-domain 4D QHE regime. Second, we pioneered an active capacitive compensation method that introduces an effective negative capacitance in the gate line, equivalently enhancing the gate capacitance. This approach successfully recovered over 95% of the severely attenuated signal in QAH samples, removing a key technological barrier for single-domain 4D QHE detection.

With these core technologies established, we are now positioned to pursue the final experimental observation of the 4D QHE through both transport and optical measurement approaches. This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific concepts, technical innovations, and future directions of our research, highlighting our systematic progress toward unveiling this fundamental topological phenomenon. If time permits, other directions of ongoing research in my lab will also be presented.

摘要:

Quantum fluctuations and interactions give rise to exotic phases of matter with remarkable properties, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of many-body quantum systems. Solving these problems is notoriously difficult on classical computers due to the exponential complexity of quantum many-body physics. Quantum processors, however, open new avenues for exploring these systems, offering a direct and potentially transformative approach. In this talk, we will first discuss recent progress in realizing and visualizing dynamics of charges and strings in (2+1)D lattice gauge theories. We will then investigate a class of novel, highly entangled quantum phases that exist only in non-equilibrium settings and demonstrate how to probe their stability using a quantum processor.
