In the same work, information causality was famously shown to imply the Uffink inequality that approximates the set of quantum correlations and rederives Tsirelson's bound of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality. This result found limited generalizations due to the difficulty of deducing implications of the information causality principle on the set of nonlocal correlations. In this Letter, we present a simple technique for obtaining polynomial inequalities from information causality bounding the set of physical correlations in any bipartite Bell scenario. This result makes information causality an efficient tool for approximating the set of quantum correlations. To demonstrate our method, we derive a family of inequalities which nontrivially constrains the set of nonlocal correlations in Bell scenarios with binary outcomes and equal number of measurement settings. Finally, we propose an improved statement of the information causality principle and obtain a tighter constraint for the simplest Bell scenario that goes beyond the Uffink inequality and recovers a part of the boundary of the quantum set.</p>","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142562685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its being the foundation of beam physics for decades, we show that using the \"acceleration field\" in Liénard-Wiechert potential to describe radiative interactions leads to divergences due to its implicit dependence on instantaneous interactions. Here, we propose an alternative theory for electromagnetic radiation by decomposing the interactions into an instantaneous part and retarded part. It is shown that only the retarded part contributes to the irreversible radiation loss and the instantaneous part describes the space charge related effects. We further apply this theory to study the coherent synchrotron radiation energy loss, which hopefully will reshape our understanding of coherent radiation and collective interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142562687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism governing the appearance of altermagnetism in bilayer systems is still absent. In the present Letter, we address this gap by introducing a general stacking theory (GST) as a key condition for the emergence of altermagnetism in bilayer systems. The GST provides straightforward criteria to predict whether a bilayer demonstrates altermagnetic spin splitting, solely based on the layer groups of the composing monolayers. According to the GST, only seven point groups of bilayers facilitate the emergence of altermagnetism. It is revealed that, beyond the previously proposed antiferromagnetic twisted Van der Waals stacking, altermagnetism can even emerge in bilayers formed through the symmetrically restricted direct stacking of two monolayers. By combining the GST and first-principles calculations, we present illustrative examples of bilayers demonstrating altermagnetism. Our work establishes a robust framework for designing diverse bilayer systems with altermagnetism, thereby opening up new avenues for both fundamental research and practical applications in this field.</p>","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142562681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three-dimensional moiré patterns can be realized in ultracold atomic gases by coupling two spin states in spin-dependent optical lattices with a relative twist, a structure currently unachievable in solid-state materials. We give the commensurate conditions under which the three-dimensional moiré pattern features a periodic structure termed a three-dimensional moiré crystal. We emphasize a key distinction of three-dimensional moiré physics: In three dimensions, the twist operation generically does not commute with the rotational symmetry of the original lattice, unlike in two dimensions, where these two always commute. Consequently, the moiré crystal can exhibit a crystalline structure that differs from the original underlying lattice. We demonstrate that twisting a simple cubic lattice can generate various crystal structures. This capability of altering crystal structures by twisting offers a broad range of tunability for three-dimensional band structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142562724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
