Optimal probe states for single-mode quantum target detection in arbitrary object reflectivity
Wei-Ming Chen and Pin-Ju Tsai
Phys. Rev. Research 6, 023084 (2024)This article uses an optimization algorithm to obtain single-mode Optical Probe States and provides a physical interpretation of these.
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Single-shot measurement of photonic topological invariant
Nathan Roberts, Guido Baardink, Anton Souslov, and Peter J. Mosley
Phys. Rev. Research 6, L022010 (2024)Characterizing topological devices can be a lengthy and difficult process. In an effort to simplify topological characterization, a single-shot method for observing topological winding numbers with only a broadband light source is introduced and demonstrated.
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Modulation instability and wavenumber bandgap breathers in a time layered phononic lattice
Christopher Chong, Brian Kim, Evelyn Wallace, and Chiara Daraio
Phys. Rev. Research 6, 023045 (2024)Structures that are localized in time and periodic in space are experimentally observed in a phononic lattice. These structures are analogous to the famous “breathers,” but with the role of time and space switched.
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Topological dualities via tensor networks
C. Wille, J. Eisert, and A. Altland
Phys. Rev. Research 6, 013302 (2024)Dualities between three paradigmatic models in condensed-matter physics (the two-dimensional classical Ising model, the toric code, and a class D topological superconductor) are explored from a tensor network perspective. Being exact and explicit in nature, the approach allows for the translation of properties of the three different systems on a microscopic level and for the linking of nontrivial phenomena such as topological excitations, edge modes, and disorder operators.
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Plasmonic vortices host magnetoelectric interactions
Atreyie Ghosh et al.
Phys. Rev. Research 6, 013163 (2024)Plasmonic vortices are found to host pseudoscalar 𝙀∙𝘽 fields that are odd under parity 𝒫 and time 𝒯 inversion, but even under the joint 𝒫𝒯 symmetry, enabling them to drive the magnetoelectric response and act as a source of the axion field.
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Information content of note transitions in the music of J. S. Bach
Suman Kulkarni, Sophia U. David, Christopher W. Lynn, and Dani S. Bassett
Phys. Rev. Research 6, 013136 (2024)A study combines methods from network science, information theory, and cognitive science to examine the information present in note transitions within music composed by J. S. Bach. It identifies and explains differences in information content across various compositional forms based on their network structure.
