Shorter unentangled proofs for Ground State Connectivity

Libor Caha, Daniel Nagaj, Martin Schwarz

Can one considerably shorten a proof for a quantum problem by using a protocol with a constant number of unentangled provers? We consider a frustration-free variant of the QCMA-com…

Detection of a centrifugal magnetosphere in one of the most massive stars in the Oph star-forming cloud

S. Hubrig, M. Schöller, S. P. Järvinen +3

Recent XMM-Newton observations of the B2 type star rho Oph A indicated a periodicity of 1.205d, which was ascribed to rotational modulation. Since variability of X-ray emission in…

Molecule signatures in photoluminescence spectra of transition metal dichalcogenides

Maja Feierabend, Gunnar Berghaeuser, Malte Selig +4

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) show an optimal surface-to-volume ratio and are thus promising candidates for novel molecule sensor devices. It was recently predi…

An interacting adiabatic quantum motor

Anton Bruch, Silvia Viola Kusminskiy, Gil Refael +1

We present a field theoretic treatment of an adiabatic quantum motor. We explicitly discuss a motor termed Thouless motor which is based on a Thouless pump operating in reverse. Wh…

Abelian Chern-Simons Theory for the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in Graphene

Christian Fräßdorf

We develop a theory for the pseudorelativistic fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene, which is based on a multicomponent abelian Chern-Simons theory in the fermionic functiona…

Effects of two-loop contributions in the pseudofermion functional renormalization group method for quantum spin systems

Marlon Rueck, Johannes Reuther

We implement an extension of the pseudofermion functional renormalization group (PFFRG) method for quantum spin systems that takes into account two-loop diagrammatic contributions.…

The role of charge and proton transfer in fragmentation of hydrogen-bonded nanosystems: the breakup of ammonia clusters upon single photon multi-ionization

Bart Oostenrijk, Noelle Walsh, Joakim Laksman +4

The charge and proton dynamics in hydrogen-bonded networks are investigated using ammonia as a model system. The fragmentation dynamics of medium-sized clusters (1-2 nm) upon singl…

MSM/RD: Coupling Markov state models of molecular kinetics with reaction-diffusion simulations

Manuel Dibak, Mauricio J. del Razo, David De Sancho +2

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can model the interactions between macromolecules with high spatiotemporal resolution but at a high computational cost. By combining high-throug…

Evidence for a three-dimensional quantum spin liquid in PbCuTeO

S. Chillal, Y. Iqbal, H. O. Jeschke +9

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a highly entangled magnetic state characterized by the absence of static magnetism in its ground state. Instead, the spins fluctuate in a highly co…

Counting Periodic Trajectories of Finsler Billiards

Pavle V. M. Blagojević, Michael Harrison, Serge Tabachnikov +1

We provide lower bounds on the number of periodic Finsler billiard trajectories inside a quadratically convex smooth closed hypersurface in a -dimensional Finsler space with…

Combinatorics of Beacon-based Routing in Three Dimensions

Jonas Cleve, Wolfgang Mulzer

A beacon is a point-like object which can be enabled to exert a magnetic pull on other point-like objects in space. Those objects then move towards the beacon in a greedy fashion u…

Experimental Demonstration of Quantum Tunneling in IBM Quantum Computer

Narendra N. Hegade, Nachiket L. Kortikar, Bikramaditya Das +2

Quantum computers are the promising candidates for simulation of large quantum systems, which is a daunting task to perform in a classical computer. Here, we report the experimenta…

Chiral scatterers designed by Bayesian optimization

Philipp Gutsche, Philipp-Immanuel Schneider, Sven Burger +1

The helicity or chirality of scattered light is strongly linked to the dual symmetry of the scatterer. The latter depends on chiral materials or on scatterers which are not superim…

Data-driven Computation of Molecular Reaction Coordinates

Andreas Bittracher, Ralf Banisch, Christof Schütte

The identification of meaningful reaction coordinates plays a key role in the study of complex molecular systems whose essential dynamics is characterized by rare or slow transitio…

Determining the trisection genus of orientable and non-orientable PL 4-manifolds through triangulations

Jonathan Spreer, Stephan Tillmann

Gay and Kirby recently introduced the concept of a trisection for arbitrary smooth, oriented closed 4-manifolds, and with it a new topological invariant, called the trisection genu…
