Magnetic Brightening and Nanoscale Imaging of Spin-Polarized Helical Edge Modes

Samuel Haeuser, Richard H. J. Kim, Lin-Lin Wang +9

Efficient sub-10 nm electric transport remains a major challenge for nanoelectronics due to high losses and impedance mismatches in conventional Drude metals. Despite their promise…

Observation of the Magnonic Dicke Superradiant Phase Transition

Dasom Kim, Sohail Dasgupta, Xiaoxuan Ma +16

Two-level atoms coupled with single-mode cavity photons are predicted to exhibit a quantum phase transition when the coupling strength exceeds a critical value, entering a phase in…

Discovery of an Unconventional Quantum Echo by Interference of Higgs Coherence

C. Huang, M. Mootz, L. Luo +9

Nonlinearities in quantum systems are fundamentally characterized by the interplay of phase coherences, their interference, and state transition amplitudes. Yet the question of how…

Light Quantum Control of Persisting Higgs Modes in Iron-Based Superconductors

C. Vaswani, J. H. Kang, M. Mootz +12

The Higgs mechanism, i.e., spontaneous symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum, is a cross-disciplinary principle, universal for understanding dark energy, antimatter and quantum m…
