Beam shifts and eigenpolarisations for the reflection of vortex beams from homogeneous magnetic surfaces

Mairi Gilmour, Sarah Croke, Jörg B. Götte

Probing surfaces with optical beams is a powerful technique utilised for material characterisation, and more recently, measuring surface magnetisation with vortex beams has opened…

Disorder-induced persistent random motion and trapping of microswimmers

Mirko Residori, Sebastian Aland, Christina Kurzthaler

Microorganisms ofter move in confined, disordered environments, where hydrodynamic couplings can modify their transport behavior. Using extensive finite-element simulations, we inv…

Extreme-Value Criticality and Gain Decomposition at the Integer Quantum Hall Transition

Wei-Han Li, Abbas Ali Saberi

Extreme-value fluctuations at quantum critical points remain poorly understood in the presence of strong correlations and openness. At the integer quantum Hall transition in the op…

Uniform process tensor approach for the calculation of multi-time correlation functions of non-Markovian open systems

Matteo Garbellini, Konrad Mickiewicz, Valentin Link +2

The process tensor framework to open quantum systems provides the most general description of multi-time correlations in non-Markovian quantum dynamics. A compressed representation…

q-Gaussian Crossover in Overlap Spectra towards 3D Edwards-Anderson Criticality

Yaprak Onder, Abbas Ali Saberi, Roderich Moessner

We introduce a spectral approach to characterizing the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass. By analyzing the eigenvalue statistics of overlap matrices constructed from tw…

Directed Polymer Transfer Matrices as a Unified Generator of Distinct One-Point Fluctuation Laws

Sen Mu, Abbas Ali Saberi, Roderich Moessner +1

We numerically revisit the transfer-matrix formulation of directed polymers in random media and show that a common finite-dimensional framework organizes the canonical one-point fl…
