Tip-enhanced strong coupling spectroscopy, imaging, and control of a single quantum emitter
Optical cavities can enhance and control light-matter interactions. This has recently been extended to the nanoscale, and with single emitter strong coupling regime even at room temperature using plasmonic nano-cavities with deep sub-diffraction-limited mode volumes. However, with emitters in static nano-cavities, this...

Fluctuation theorem for entropy production of a partial system in the weak coupling limit
Small systems in contact with a heat bath evolve by stochastic dynamics. Here we show that, when one such small system is weakly coupled to another one, it is possible to infer the presence of such weak coupling by observing the violation of the steady state fluctuation theorem for the partial entropy production of the...

Fast and High-Fidelity Entangling Gate through Parametrically Modulated Longitudinal Coupling
We investigate an approach to universal quantum computation based on the modulation of longitudinal qubit-oscillator coupling. We show how to realize a controlled-phase gate by simultaneously modulating the longitudinal coupling of two qubits to a common oscillator mode. In contrast to the more familiar transversal qub...

Bifurcation of Transition Paths Induced by Coupled Bistable Systems
We discuss the transition paths in a coupled bistable system consisting of interacting multiple identical bistable motifs. We propose a simple model of coupled bistable gene circuits as an example, and show that its transition paths are bifurcating. We then derive a criterion to predict the bifurcation of transition pa...

Weighted sampling without replacement
Comparing concentration properties of uniform sampling with and without replacement has a long history which can be traced back to the pioneer work of Hoeffding (1963). The goal of this short note is to extend this comparison to the case of non-uniform weights, using a coupling between the two samples. When the items' ...

Wilson operator algebras and ground states for coupled BF theories
The multi-flavor $BF$ theories in (3+1) dimensions with cubic or quartic coupling are the simplest topological quantum field theories that can describe fractional braiding statistics between loop-like topological excitations (three-loop or four-loop braiding statistics). In this paper, by canonically quantizing these t...

First-principles approach to the dynamic magnetoelectric couplings in BiFeO$_3$
Despite its great technological importance, the magnetoelectric (ME) couplings in \BF are barely understood. By using a first-principles approach, we uncover the {\it dynamic} ME couplings of the long-range spin-cycloid in BiFeO$_3$. Based on a microscopic Hamiltonian, our first-principles approach disentangles the hid...

Dirac Hamiltonian and Reissner-Nordstrom Metric: Coulomb Interaction in Curved Space-Time
We investigate the spin-1/2 relativistic quantum dynamics in the curved space-time generated by a central massive charged object (black hole). This necessitates a study of the coupling of a Dirac particle to the Reissner-Nordstrom space-time geometry and the simultaneous covariant coupling to the central electrostatic ...

Gauge Coupling Unification with Hidden Photon, and Minicharged Dark Matter
We show that gauge coupling unification is realized with a greater accuracy in the presence of a massless hidden photon which has a large kinetic mixing with hypercharge. We solve the renormalization group equations at two-loop level and find that the GUT unification scale is around $10^{16.5}$ GeV which sufficiently s...

Finite coupling effects in double quantum dots near equilibrium
A weak coupling quantum master equation provides reliable steady-state results only in the van Hove limit, i.e., when the system-lead coupling approaches zero. Recently, J. Thingna et al. [Phys. Rev. E 88, 052127 (2013)] proposed an alternative approach, based on an analytic continuation of the Redfield solution, to ev...

DFT Simulations of Inter-Graphene-Layer Coupling with Rotationally Misaligned hBN Tunnel Barriers in Graphene/hBN/Graphene Tunnel FETs
Van der Waal's heterostrucutures allow for novel devices such as two-dimensional-to-two-dimensional tunnel devices, exemplified by interlayer tunnel FETs. These devices employ channel/tunnel-barrier/channel geometries. However, during layer-by-layer exfoliation of these multi-layer materials, rotational misalignment is...

Interplay of Site and Bond Electron-Phonon Coupling in One Dimension
The interplay of bond and charge correlations is studied in a one-dimensional model with both Holstein and Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) couplings to quantum phonons. The problem is solved exactly by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. If one of the couplings dominates, the ground state is a Peierls insulator with long-range...

Bloch Oscillations in Optical and Zeeman Lattices in the Presence of Spin-Orbit Coupling
We address Bloch oscillations of a spin-orbit coupled atom in periodic potentials of two types: Optical and Zeeman lattices. We show that in optical lattices the spin-orbit coupling allows controlling the direction of atomic motion and may lead to complete suppression of the oscillations at specific values of the coupl...

Controlling energy transfer time between two coupled magnetic vortex-state disks
The influence of the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy (IPUA) in the mutual energy transfer time ($\tau$) between two identical coupled nanodisks was studied. Using an analytical dipolar model we obtained the interactions between the disks along x and y directions (the coupling integrals) as a function of the uniaxial aniso...

Target decoupling in a coupled optical system resistant to random perturbation
To suppress unwanted crosstalks between nearby optical elements, the decoupling technique for integrated systems has been desired for the target control of light flows. Although cloaking methods have enabled complete decoupling of optical elements by manipulating electromagnetic waves microscopically, it is neither fea...

Exact $\nabla^4 R^4$ couplings and helicity supertraces
In type II string theory compactified on a $d$-dimensional torus $T^d$ down to $D=10-d$ dimensions, the $R^4$ and $\nabla^4 R^4$ four-graviton couplings are known exactly, for all values of the moduli, in terms of certain Eisenstein series of the U-duality group $E_{d}(\mathbb{Z})$. In the limit where one circle in the...

Regge meets collinear in strongly-coupled $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills
We revisit the calculation of the six-gluon remainder function in planar $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory from the strong coupling TBA in the multi-Regge limit and identify an infinite set of kinematically subleading terms. These new terms can be compared to the strong coupling limit of the finite-coupling exp...

Pseudogap phenomena near the BKT transition of a two-dimensional ultracold Fermi gas in the crossover region
We investigate strong-coupling properties of a two-dimensional ultracold Fermi gas in the normal phase. In the three-dimensional case, it has been shown that the so-called pseudogap phenomena can be well described by a (non-self-consistent) $T$-matrix approximation (TMA). In the two-dimensional case, while this strong ...

Unifying quantum heat transfer in a nonequilibrium spin-boson model with full counting statistics
To study the full counting statistics of quantum heat transfer in a driven nonequilibrium spin-boson model, we develop a generalized nonequilibrium polaron-transformed Redfield equation with an auxiliary counting field. This enables us to study the impact of qubit-bath coupling ranging from weak to strong regimes. With...

Exotic surface states in hybrid structures of topological insulators and Weyl semimetals
Topological insulators (TIs) and Weyl semimetals (WSMs) are two realizations of topological matter usually appearing separately in nature. However, they are directly related to each other via a topological phase transition. In this paper, we investigate the question whether these two topological phases can exist togeth...

Cosmological evolution of Yukawa couplings: the 5D perspective
The cosmological evolution of standard model Yukawa couplings may have major implications for baryogenesis. In particular, as highlighted recently, the CKM matrix alone could be the source of CP-violation during electroweak baryogenesis provided that the Yukawa couplings were large and varied during the electroweak pha...
