Digital quantum magnetism at the frontier of classical simulations

When
-

Abstract: The utility of near-term quantum computers for simulating realistic quantum systems hinges on the stability of digital quantum matter--realized when discrete quantum gates approximate continuous time evolution--and whether it can be maintained at system sizes and time scales inaccessible to classical simulations.

The thermosphere and the dynamic processes driving the thermospheric responses to major geomagnetic storms

When
-

Abstract: The thermosphere is an atmospheric region from ~100 km to ~1000 km produced by the atmospheric absorption of solar UV and EUV radiation. It is the region where atmospheric species is not well mixed but diffuses with its own scale height. The thermosphere is an open system changing greatly due to the energy and momentum deposition from the magnetosphere above and the waves from the lower atmosphere.

Quantum phononic- Light-matter interaction of 2D vdWs layer materials with SAM and OAM manipulations

When

Quantum phononics is an important field of research because it deals with the study of phonons (quanta of vibrational energy in materials) in the context of quantum mechanics. Since the idea of phonons possessing pseudo-angular momentum was proposed a decade ago, chiral phonons have been studied for their potential in the development of new quantum information technologies. Multiple chiral phonon responses by helicity-resolved (HR)Raman have been demonstrated.
