The square-lattice Hubbard and closely related $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ models are considered as basic paradigms for understanding strong correlation effects unconventional superconductivity (SC). Recent large-scale density matrix renormalization group simulations on the extended model have identified $d$-wave SC electron-doped side (with next-nearest-neighbor hopping ${t}_{2}>0$) but a dominant charge wave (CDW) order hole-doped (${t}_{2}<0$), which is inconsistent with of cuprate...
A recent experiment has observed a series of quantum-spin-Hall effects in moiré MoTe2. Among them, the vanishing Hall signal at filling factor ν = 3 implies possible realization time-reversal pair even-denominator fractional Chern insulators. Inspired by this discovery, we numerically investigate whether robust incompressible quantum-Hall liquid can be stabilized half-filled band twisted MoTe2 bilayers. We use continuum model with parameters relevant to bilayers and obtain three consecutive...
With the recent advances in surface fabrication technologies, condensation heat transfer has seen a renaissance. Hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces have all been employed as means to enhance condensate shedding, enabling micrometric droplet departure length scales. One of main bottlenecks for achieving higher efficiencies is difficulty shedding sub-10 μm droplets due increasing role played by adhesion viscous limitations at nanometric To enable ultraefficient we demonstrate...

This technique scales linearly, rather than quadratically, pump intensity, allowing study fragile biological samples low fluxes. Since resolution is achieved electron detection a variable phase delay, does require scanning...

Recent experimental progress has established the twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) as a highly tunable platform for studying many-body physics. Particularly, homobilayer TMDs under displacement field are believed to be described by generalized triangular-lattice Hubbard model with spin-dependent hopping phase $\ensuremath{\theta}$. To explore effects of $\ensuremath{\theta}$ on system, we perform density matrix renormalization group calculations relevant triangular...

We introduce an auxiliary quantum master equation dual fermion method and argue that it presents a convenient way to describe steady states of correlated impurity models. The scheme yields expansion around reference is much closer the true nonequilibrium state than in original formulation. In steady-state situations, numerically inexpensive avoids time propagation. Anderson model used test approach against exact benchmarks.
Time-energy entangled photons produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) are employed to calculate vibrational hyper-Raman (HR) signals of the conjugated organic chromophore Wu112. Compared with classical light, time-energy entanglement can provide selectivity Liouville-space pathways and thus suppress strong broad electronic-Raman background arising from one-photon resonances intermediate states. The entangled-photon HR signal scales linearly SPDC pump field intensity rather...
We consider effects of strong light-matter interaction on electronic friction in molecular junctions within generic model single molecule nano cavity junction. Results the Hubbard NEGF simulations are compared with mean-field and generalized Head-Gordon Tully approaches. Mean-field is shown to fail qualitatively at intra-system interactions, while accuracy results restricted situations well separated intra-molecular excitations, when bath induced coherences negligible.

We theoretically investigate the two-photon absorption signals of a three-band (g, e, f) system diagonally coupled to an over-damped Brownian oscillator bath, which induces random Gaussian modulations energy levels with arbitrary degree correlation. For fast modulation, extra 2ωeg and 2ωfe peaks may obscure g-f transitions in classical (CTPA) spectra for nearly resonant e states. These arise from one-photon g-e or e-f transitions. In slow modulation limit, these vanish because short tails...
