Fluctuation-driven chiral ferromagnetism
Rokas Veitas, Ahmed Khalifa, Francisco Machado +1
Quantum fluctuations are often suppressed in ferromagnetic materials because they admit a simple unfrustrated ground state, greatly limiting the scope of the phenomena that can be…

Observation of topological prethermal strong zero modes
Feitong Jin, Si Jiang, Xuhao Zhu +42
Symmetry-protected topological phases cannot be described by any local order parameter and are beyond the conventional symmetry-breaking paradigm for understanding quantum matter.…

Prethermal Time-Crystalline Corner Modes
Si Jiang, Dong Yuan, Wenjie Jiang +2
We demonstrate the existence of prethermal discrete time crystals whose sub-harmonic response is entirely localized to zero-dimensional corner modes. Within the exponentially long…
