  • Charge density waves (CDW) are long periodic rearrangement of electronic structure, that are typically coupled with distortions of the underlying crystal lattices, and the driving mechanism of which can vary from one material to another. Here, the authors use density functional theory to investigate the origin of CDW in SrAl4 and EuAl4, finding that strong electron-coupling plays an important role, which also explains the absence of CDW in BaAl4.

  • Single-photon imaging and sensing promise great advantages over their classical counterparts, but their practical uses are easily compromised by ambient and quantum noises. The authors demonstrate a noise-resilient scheme based on single-pixel compressive sensing and single-photon counting, achieving high performance via quantum parametric mode sorting.

  • Large efforts have been placed on topological phases in non-Hermitian systems, where the appearance of exceptional points (EPs) and nontrivial Berry phase gather great interest. This study proposes an exhaustive classification framework for EPs, which connects eigenstate switching and Berry phase and reveals topological phase transitions accompanying EPs.

  • Public Transport Networks often suffer from disruption that needs to be reduced and mitigated. The authors study the correlation between topological and recoverability indicators for 42 transport networks in various cities, and find that denser and more efficient networks can better withstand disruptions, while larger networks with additional redundancy can rebound faster to normal performance levels during the recovery process.

  • Astrophysical jets are pivotal in the process of star formation, yet the mechanism responsible for their collimation remains a topic of intense debate, largely due to the constraints imposed by astronomical observational techniques and facilities. In this study, the authors demonstrate that a wide-angle plasma plume can undergo collimation and acceleration when subjected to toroidal magnetic fields, as evidenced by all-optical laboratory experiments.

  • Optical beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) are promising candidates for free-space optical communication. The authors devise a hybrid optical-electronic convolutional neural network approach reaching a 4-bit OAM-coded signal demultiplexing accuracy of 72.84% under strong atmospheric turbulence conditions with 3.2 times faster training time than all electronic convolutional neural network.

  • The existence of electron gas at the interfaces of oxide-based heterostructures with broken spatial inversion symmetry gives rise to various interesting physical phenomena. Here, the authors report a new type quasi-three-dimensional electron gas state at the interface of ferrimagnetic semiconductor-strontium titanate heterostructures, which show high mobility, high valley degeneracy and possible spin polarization.

  • High Harmonic Generation in solids differs with respect to its atomic counterpart due to additional intraband harmonic emissions and to the presence of momentum scattering. The authors demonstrate that the additional intraband contribution depends on the momentum distribution of photodoped carriers when the driving pulse arrives to the sample.

  • Noether’s theorem relates the symmetries of a statistical mechanical system to conservation laws and to constraints of thermal averages, but the extension to more general observables is still elusive. The authors demonstrate that any statistical observable is associated with a hierarchy of exact identities emerging from translational Noether invariance.
