By using the exact Bethe wavefunctions of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with N spin-up fermions and one spin-down impurity, we derive an analytic expression of the impurity form factor, in the form of a determinant of a \((N+1)\) by \((N+1)\) matrix. This analytic expression enables us to exactly calculate spectral properties of one-dimensional Fermi polarons in lattices, when the masses of the impurity particle and the Fermi bath are equal. We present the impurity spectral functio

Dark states, which are incapable of absorbing and emitting light, have been widely applied in multiple disciplines of physics. However, the existence of dark states relies on certain strict constraints on the system. For instance, in the fundamental \(\Lambda\) system, a perturbation breaking the degeneracy between two energy levels may destroy the destructive interference and demolish the dark state. Here, we show that non-Hermiticity can be exploited as a constructive means to restor

Particle accelerators, originally developed to address fundamental questions about the universe, have become essential to various scientific disciplines. The broad adoption of accelerators was enabled by substantial advancements in beam manipulation techniques, which encompass methods for generating and controlling particle beams to optimize them for specific applications. Most of these manipulations rely on controlling the beam’s correlation in its phase space. While linear control an

I briefly review the canonical vorticity theoretical framework and its applications in collisionless, magnetized plasma physics. The canonical vorticity is a weighted sum of the fluid vorticity and the magnetic field and is equal to the curl of the canonical momentum. By taking this variable as the primary variable instead of the magnetic field, various phenomena that require non-MHD effect in their scrutiny can be simplified. Two examples are given, namely magnetic reconnection and ma

We study the macroscopic quantum tunnelling of an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a cubic-plus-quadratic well that was approximately realized in recent experiment. We utilise the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method to investigate the effect of the inter-atomic interactions on the tunnelling rate of a quasi-bound condensate. We find that the existence of repulsive interaction enhances the quantum tunnelling of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate.

In this work, we propose a geometric non-linear current response induced by magnetic resonance in magnetic Weyl semimetals. This phenomenon is in analog to the quantized circular photogalvanic effect (de Juan et al., Nat. Commun. 8:15995, 2017) previously proposed for Weyl semimetal phases of chiral crystals. However, the non-linear current response in our case can occur in magnetic Weyl semimetals where time-reversal symmetry, instead of inversion symmetry, is broken. The occurrence o

This article highlights the significance of level lifetime measurements in nuclear structure studies that principally center on probing the myriad excitation phenomena exhibited by nuclei through evolving regimes of excitations in energy, angular momentum, and isospin. The same has been illustrated through discussions on some of the measurements undertaken using the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) set up at the BARC-TIFR Pelletron LINAC Facility (PLF) in TIFR, Mumbai. The diverse ph

Comprehensive neutron diagnostics have been developed and used to study magnetic confinement fusion plasmas. The neutron emission spectrometer is one of the most powerful tools for understanding fusion plasma physics. Neutron spectroscopy was originally developed to measure the fuel ion temperature in thermal plasmas. With the advent of fast ion heating, the role of neutron spectroscopy has evolved to deepen the understanding of fast ion confinement. Since neutrons are primarily produc

To satisfy the needs of modern intelligent society for power supplies with long-endurance ability, Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides (LRMOs) are receiving much attention because of their ultrahigh capacity. However, their real-world implementation is hindered by the serious voltage decay, which results in a continuous decrease in energy density. The understanding on voltage decay still remains a mystery due to the complicated hybrid cationic-anionic redox and the serious surface-interfac

Quantum clock synchronization (QCS) can measure out the high-precision clock difference among distant users, which breaks through the standard quantum limit by employing the properties of quantum entanglement. Currently, the wavelength division multiplexed QCS network has been demonstrated with a spontaneous parametric down-conversion entangled photon source. In this paper, we propose a more efficient QCS network scheme with the wavelength multicasting entangled photon source, which ca
