The customary restriction of magnetized plasma turbulence studies to the gyrokinetic approximation may not be based on physics but only on a practical constraint due to computational cost. Deciphering turbulent transport is crucial since edge turbulence significantly influences the confinement properties of magnetically confined plasmas. Despite the high computational costs, performing 6D kinetic simulations is essential for understanding the limitations of our current models.","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589049","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}

By applying the Bethe-ansatz method, we can exactly solve the wave function and eigenvalue of the bound state in the continuum band, which enable us to precisely determine the phase diagrams of BIC. Our results demonstrate that the nonreciprocal hopping can delocalize the bound state and thus shrink the region of BIC. By analyzing the wave function, we identify the existence of two types of BICs with different spatial distributions and analytically derive the corresponding threshold values for the breakdown of BICs. The BIC with similar properties is also found to exist in another system with an impurity potential.","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589078","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}

First, we investigate the quench dynamics of this system and observe numerically that the relaxation dynamics strongly depends on the chosen initial state—one of the key signatures of HSF. Second, we identify fractonic excitations with restricted mobility leading to anomalous transport properties.

In this Letter, we propose a new class of projected entangled pair states (PEPS) that incorporates two isometric conditions. This new class facilitates the efficient calculation of general local observables and certain two-point correlation functions, which have been previously shown to be intractable for general PEPS, or PEPS with only a single isometric constraint. Despite incorporating two isometric conditions, our class preserves the rich physical structure while enhancing the analytical capabilities. It features a large set of tunable parameters, with only a subleading correction compared to that of general PEPS. Furthermore, we analytically demonstrate that this class can encode universal quantum computation and can represent a transition from topological to trivial order.","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":"242 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142580349","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}

The making of KAr complexes from hot pairs of colliding K and Ar atoms via resonance-mediated two-photon excitation is controlled by weak linearly chirped femtosecond pulses. Negative chirps enhance the yield. Our experimental and <i>ab initio</i> theoretical results are in excellent agreement.

We explore how these two mechanisms interact by studying the behavior of trap models, which are paradigmatic descriptions of slow glassy dynamics, when driven by trajectory bias toward high or low activity. To diagnose whether the driven systems continue to age, we establish a framework for mapping the biased dynamics to a Markovian time evolution with time-dependent transition rates. We find that the original aging dynamics reacts in two qualitatively distinct ways to the driving: it can be destroyed by the driving of any nonzero strength (“fragile” aging), whereby the dynamics either reaches an active steady state or effectively freezes, or it can persist within a finite range of driving strengths around the undriven case (“robust” aging). This classification into fragile and robust aging could form the basis for distinguishing different universality classes of aging dynamics.","PeriodicalId":20069,"journal":{"name":"Physical review letters","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142574704","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}
