Magnetic-resonance-induced non-linear current response in magnetic Weyl semimetals

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

Nuclear level lifetime measurements across varied ranges using the digital INGA at TIFR

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

Neutron emission spectrometer in magnetic confinement fusion

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

Fundamental understanding of voltage decay in Li-rich Mn-based layered oxides cathode materials

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

Wavelength multicasting quantum clock synchronization network

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

Non-equilibrium BCS-BEC crossover and unconventional FFLO superfluid in a strongly interacting driven-dissipative Fermi gas

We present a theoretical review of the recent progress in non-equilibrium BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer)-BEC (Bose-Einstein condensation) crossover physics. As a paradigmatic example, we consider a strongly interacting driven-dissipative two-component Fermi gas where the non-equilibrium steady state is tuned by adjusting the chemical potential difference between two reservoirs that are coupled with the system. As a powerful theoretical tool to deal with this system, we employ the Schw

Competing few-body correlations in ultracold Fermi polarons

Polaron, a typical quasi-particle that describes a single impurity dressed with surrounding environment, serves as an ideal platform for bridging few- and many-body physics. In particular, different few-body correlations can compete with each other and lead to many intriguing phenomena. In this work, we review the recent progresses made in understanding few-body correlation effects in attractive Fermi polarons of ultracold gases. By adopting a unified variational ansatz that incorporat

From the quantum breakdown model to the lattice gauge theory

The one-dimensional quantum breakdown model, which features spatially asymmetric fermionic interactions simulating the electrical breakdown phenomenon, exhibits an exponential U(1) symmetry and a variety of dynamical phases including many-body localization and quantum chaos with quantum scar states. We investigate the minimal quantum breakdown model with the minimal number of on-site fermion orbitals required for the interaction and identify a large number of local conserved charges in
