This review focuses on recent developments on studying synthetic spin-orbit (SO) coupling in ultracold atomic gases. Two types of SO coupling are discussed. One is Raman process induced coupling between spin and motion along one of the spatial directions, and the other is Rashba SO coupling. We emphasize their common f...

Chimera patterns in two-dimensional networks of coupled neurons
We discuss synchronization patterns in networks of FitzHugh-Nagumo and Leaky Integrate-and-Fire oscillators coupled in a two-dimensional toroidal geometry. Common feature between the two models is the presence of fast and slow dynamics, a typical characteristic of neurons. Earlier studies have demonstrated that both mo...

BTZ black hole assuming running couplings
In the present work a generalization of the BTZ black hole is studied, for the case of scale dependent couplings. One starts by using the effective action for scale dependence couplings to get a generalization of the Einstein field equations. Self consistent solutions for lapse function, cosmological coupling and Newto...

Quantum evolution speed in the finite-temperature bosonic environment
We investigate the quantum evolution speed of a qubit in two kinds of finite-temperature environments. The first environment is a bosonic bath with Ohmic-like spectrum. It is found that the high temperature not only leads to the speed-up but also speed-down processes in the weak-coupling regime, which is different from...

Occasional uncoupling overcomes measure desynchronization
Owing to the absence of the phase space attractors in the Hamiltonian dynamical systems, the concept of the identical synchronization between the dissipative systems is inapplicable to the Hamiltonian systems for which, thus, one defines a related generalized phenomenon known as the measure synchronization. A coupled p...

Spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates of rotating polar molecules
An experimental proposal for realizing spin-orbit (SO) coupling of pseudospin-1 in the ground manifold $^1\Sigma(\upsilon=0)$ of (bosonic) bialkali polar molecules is presented. The three spin components are composed of the ground rotational state and two substates from the first excited rotational level. Using hyperfi...

Network synchronization with periodic coupling
The synchronization behavior of networked chaotic oscillators with periodic coupling is investigated. It is observed in simulations that the network synchronizability could be significantly influenced by tuning the coupling frequency, even making the network alternated between the synchronous and non-synchronous states...

Stability of phase difference trajectories of networks of Kuramoto oscillators with time-varying couplings and intrinsic frequencies
We study dynamics of phase-differences (PDs) of coupled oscillators where both the intrinsic frequencies and the couplings vary in time. In case the coupling coefficients are all nonnegative, we prove that the PDs are asymptotically stable if there exists T>0 such that the aggregation of the time-varying graphs across ...

Dynamics of Kuramoto oscillators with time-delayed positive and negative couplings
Many real-world examples of distributed oscillators involve not only time delays but also attractive (positive) and repulsive (negative) influences in their network interactions. Here, considering such examples, we generalize the Kuramoto model of globally coupled oscillators with time-delayed positive and negative cou...

Search for anomalous $\boldmath{Wtb}$ couplings in single top quark production
In 0.9 fb$^{-1}$ of $p \bar p$ collisions, D0 has observed an excess of events with an isolated lepton, missing transve rse momentum, and two to four jets. This excess is consistent with single top quark production. We examine these data to study the Lorentz structure of the $Wtb$ coupling. The standard model predicts ...

Interplay of vacuum-mediated inter- and intraatomic couplings in a pair of atoms
The resonance fluorescence emitted by a system of two dipole-dipole interacting nearby four-level atoms in J=1/2 - J=1/2 configuration is studied. This setup is the simplest realistic model system which provides a complete description of the (interatomic) dipole-dipole interaction for arbitrary orientation of the inter...

Fixing the Pole in the Pyramid
We revisit the problem of the hidden sector Landau pole in the Pyramid Scheme. There is a fixed line in the plane of hidden sector gauge coupling and a Yukawa coupling between the trianon fields. We postulate that the couplings flow to this line, at a point where the hidden sector gauge coupling is close to the strong ...

Dressed Counterions: Strong Electrostatic Coupling in the Presence of Salt
We reformulate the theory of strong electrostatic coupling in order to describe an asymmetric electrolyte solution of monovalent salt ions and polyvalent counterions using field-theoretical techniques and Monte-Carlo simulations. The theory is based on an asymmetric treatment of the different components of the electrol...

Reconstruction of a Nonminimal Coupling Theory with Scale-invariant Power Spectrum
A nonminimal coupling single scalar field theory, when transformed from Jordan frame to Einstein frame, can act like a minimal coupling one. Making use of this property, we investigate how a nonminimal coupling theory with scale-invariant power spectrum could be reconstructed from its minimal coupling counterpart, whic...

Reentrant enhancement of quantum fluctuations for symmetric environmental coupling
The `system-plus-reservoir' (SPR) model is the most common and effective approach to study quantum dissipative effects. Indeed, it makes quantization possible by considering the whole energy-conserving system, while the reservoir's degrees of freedom, assumed to be harmonic, can be `traced out' by the path-integral tec...

$ttH$ Anomalous Coupling in Double Higgs Production
We study the effects of top-Higgs anomalous coupling in the production of a pair of Higgs boson via gluon fusion at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The introduction of anomalous $ttH$ coupling can alter the hadronic double Higgs boson cross section and can lead to characteristic changes in certain kinematic distributi...

Charge and spin polarized currents in mesoscopic rings with Rashba spin-orbit interactions coupled to an electron reservoir
The electronic states of a mesoscopic ring are assessed in the presence of Rashba Spin Orbit coupling and a $U(1)$ gauge field. Spin symmetric coupling to an ideal lead is implemented following B\"uttiker's voltage probe. The exact density of states is derived using the reservoir uncoupled eigenstates as basis function...

Spin-phonon coupling in BaFe12O19 M-type hexaferrite
The spin-phonon coupling in magnetic materials is due to the modulation of the exchange integral by lattice vibrations. BaFe12O19 M-type hexaferrite, which is the most used magnetic material as permanent magnet, transforms into ferromagnet at high temperatures, but no spin-phonon coupling was previously observed at thi...

Chimera patterns induced by distance-dependent power-law coupling in ecological networks
This paper reports the occurrence of several chimera patterns and the associated transitions among them in a network of coupled oscillators, which are connected by a long range interaction that obeys a distance-dependent power law. This type of interaction is common in physics and biology and constitutes a general form...

When polarons meet polaritons: Exciton-vibration interactions in organic molecules strongly coupled to confined light fields
We present a microscopic semi-analytical theory for the description of organic molecules interacting strongly with a cavity mode. Exciton-vibration coupling within the molecule and exciton-cavity interaction are treated on an equal footing by employing a temperature-dependent variational approach. The interplay between...

Bound pulse trains in arrays of coupled spatially extended dynamical systems
We study the dynamics of an array of nearest-neighbor coupled spatially distributed systems each generating a periodic sequence of short pulses. We demonstrate that unlike a solitary system generating a train of equidistant pulses, an array of such systems can produce a sequence of clusters of closely packed pulses, wi...

Exact functionals for correlated electron-photon systems
For certain correlated electron-photon systems we construct the exact density-to-potential maps, which are the basic ingredients of a density-functional reformulation of coupled matter-photon problems. We do so for numerically exactly solvable models consisting of up to four fermionic sites coupled to a single photon m...

Input-output theory for spin-photon coupling in Si double quantum dots
The interaction of qubits via microwave frequency photons enables long-distance qubit-qubit coupling and facilitates the realization of a large-scale quantum processor. However, qubits based on electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots have proven challenging to couple to microwave photons. In this theoretical work ...

Coupled Coincidence Point of $φ$-Contraction Type $T$-Coupling and $(φ,ψ)$-Contraction Type Coupling in Metric Spaces
In this research article, we discuss two topics. Firstly, we introduce SCC-Map and $\phi$-contraction type $T$-coupling. By using these two definitions, we generalize $\phi$-contraction type coupling given by H. Aydi et al. [3] to $\phi$-contraction type $T$-coupling and proved the existence theorem of coupled coincide...
