There is a need to understand how the structure of the interfaces between atomic layers influences exciton properties. Here we use cathodoluminescence and time-resolved cathodoluminescence experiments to study how excitons interact with the interface between two twisted hexagonal boron nitride (h</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math>-BN) crystals with various angles. An efficient capture of free excitons by the interface is demonstrated, which leads to a population of long-lived and interface-localized (2D) excitons. Temperature-dependent experiments indicate that for high twist angles, these excitons localized at the interface further undergo a self-trapping. It consists in a distortion of the lattice around the exciton on which the exciton traps itself. Our results suggest that this exciton-interface interaction causes the broad 4-eV optical emission of highly twisted <c:math xmlns:c=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"><c:mrow><c:mi>h</c:mi></c:mrow></c:math>-BN–<e:math xmlns:e=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"><e:mrow><e:mi>h</e:mi></e:mrow></e:math>-BN structures.

Many different spatiotemporal growth profiles may sculpt tissues into the same target 3D shapes, but only specific growth patterns are observed in animal and plant development. In particular, growth profiles may differ in their degree of spatial variation and growth anisotropy; however, the criteria that distinguish observed patterns of growth from other possible alternatives are not understood. Here we exploit the mathematical formalism of quasiconformal transformations to formulate the problem of “growth pattern selection” quantitatively in the context of 3D shape formation by growing 2D epithelial sheets. We propose that nature settles on growth patterns that are the “simplest” in a certain way. Specifically, we demonstrate that growth pattern selection can be formulated as an optimization problem and solved for the trajectories that minimize spatiotemporal variation in areal growth rates and deformation anisotropy. The result is a complete prediction for the growth of the surface, including not only a set of intermediate shapes, but also a prediction for cell displacement along those surfaces in the process of growth. Optimization of growth trajectories for both idealized surfaces and those observed in nature show that relative growth rates can be uniformized at the cost of introducing anisotropy. Minimizing the variation of programmed growth rates can therefore be viewed as a generic mechanism for growth pattern selection and may help us to understand the prevalence of anisotropy in developmental programs. <jats:supplementary-material> <jats:copyright-statement>Published by the American Physical Society</jats:copyright-statement> <jats:copyright-year>2025</jats:copyright-year> </jats:permissions> </jats:supplementary-material>","PeriodicalId":20161,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review X","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154197","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}

High-rate quantum low-density-parity-check (qLDPC) codes promise a route to reduce qubit numbers, but performing computation while maintaining low space cost has required serialization of operations and extra time costs. In this work, we design fast and parallelizable logical gates for qLDPC codes and demonstrate their utility for key algorithmic subroutines such as the quantum adder. Our gate gadgets utilize transversal logical s between a data qLDPC code and a suitably constructed ancilla code to perform parallel Pauli product measurements (PPMs) on the data logical qubits. For hypergraph product codes, we show that the ancilla can be constructed by simply modifying the base classical codes of the data code, achieving parallel PPMs on a subgrid of the logical qubits with a lower space-time cost than existing schemes for an important class of circuits. Generalizations to 3D and 4D homological product codes further feature fast PPMs in constant depth. While prior work on qLDPC codes has focused on individual logical gates, we initiate the study of fault-tolerant compilation with our expanded set of native qLDPC code operations, constructing algorithmic primitives for preparing k</a:mi></a:math>-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and distilling or teleporting <c:math xmlns:c=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"><c:mi>k</c:mi></c:math> magic states with <e:math xmlns:e=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"><e:mi>O</e:mi><e:mo stretchy=\"false\">(</e:mo><e:mn>1</e:mn><e:mo stretchy=\"false\">)</e:mo></e:math> space overhead in <i:math xmlns:i=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"><i:mi>O</i:mi><i:mo stretchy=\"false\">(</i:mo><i:mn>1</i:mn><i:mo stretchy=\"false\">)</i:mo></i:math> and <m:math xmlns:m=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"><m:mi>O</m:mi><m:mo stretchy=\"false\">(</m:mo><m:msqrt><m:mi>k</m:mi></m:msqrt><m:mi>log</m:mi><m:mi>k</m:mi><m:mo stretchy=\"false\">)</m:mo></m:math> logical cycles, respectively.

We study the arrangements of pigment cells (chromatophores) on squid skin as a biological example of a packed system on an expanding surface. We find that relative density fluctuations in cell numbers grow with spatial scale. We term this behavior “hyperdisordered,” in contrast with hyperuniform behavior in which relative fluctuations tend to zero at large scales. We find that hyperdisordered scaling, akin to that of a critical system, is quantitatively reproduced by a model in which hard disks are randomly inserted in a homogeneously growing surface. In addition, we find that chromatophores increase in size during animal development but maintain a stationary size distribution.

Topological phases in mixed quantum states, originating from decoherence in open quantum systems or disorders in imperfect crystalline solids, have recently garnered significant interest. Unlike pure states, mixed quantum states can exhibit average symmetries—symmetries that keep the total ensemble invariant but not on each individual state. In this work, we present a systematic classification and characterization of average symmetry-protected topological (ASPT) phases applicable to generic symmetry groups, encompassing both average and exact symmetries, for bosonic and fermionic systems. Moreover, we formulate the theory of average symmetry-enriched topological (ASET) orders in disordered bosonic systems. Our systematic approach helps clarify nuanced issues in previous literature and uncovers compelling new physics. Notably, we discover that (1) the definition and classification of ASPT phases in decohered and disordered systems exhibit subtle differences, (2) despite these differences, ASPT phases in both settings can be classified and characterized under a unified framework of defect decoration and spectral sequence, (3) this systematic classification uncovers a plethora of ASPT phases that are intrinsically mixed, implying they can exclusively manifest in decohered or disordered systems where part of the symmetry is average, and (4) similarly for ASET, we find intrinsically disordered phases exhibiting exotic anyon behaviors—the ground states of such phases necessarily contain localized anyons, with gapless (yet still localized) excitation blue spectra. <jats:supplementary-material> <jats:copyright-statement>Published by the American Physical Society</jats:copyright-statement> <jats:copyright-year>2025</jats:copyright-year> </jats:permissions> </jats:supplementary-material>","PeriodicalId":20161,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review X","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144113490","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}

This restricts key topological properties and device performance, including sub-meV gap sizes that hinder further experimental investigations and future applications of polariton Chern insulator systems. In this study, we move beyond the traditional Dirac cone framework and introduce two alternative band structures in photonic crystals (PhCs) as promising platforms for realizing polariton Chern bands: bands with symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum and bands with symmetry-protected degeneracies at the Γ</a:mi></a:math> points.

We extend the concept of injectivity, originally associated with matrix product states and projected entangled pair states, to LPDOs in (&lt;/a:mo&gt;1&lt;/a:mn&gt;+&lt;/a:mo&gt;1&lt;/a:mn&gt;&lt;/a:mrow&gt;)&lt;/a:mo&gt;D&lt;/a:mi&gt;&lt;/a:mrow&gt;&lt;/a:math&gt; and &lt;f:math xmlns:f=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"&gt;&lt;f:mrow&gt;&lt;f:mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;(&lt;/f:mo&gt;&lt;f:mrow&gt;&lt;f:mn&gt;2&lt;/f:mn&gt;&lt;f:mo&gt;+&lt;/f:mo&gt;&lt;f:mn&gt;1&lt;/f:mn&gt;&lt;/f:mrow&gt;&lt;f:mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;)&lt;/f:mo&gt;&lt;f:mi mathvariant=\"normal\"&gt;D&lt;/f:mi&gt;&lt;/f:mrow&gt;&lt;/f:math&gt; systems, unveiling two distinct types of injectivity conditions that are inherent for short-range entangled density matrices. Within the LPDO framework, we outline a classification scheme for decohered average symmetry-protected topological (ASPT) phases, consistent with earlier results obtained through spectrum sequence techniques. However, our approach offers an intuitive and explicit construction of ASPT states with the decorated domain-wall picture emerging naturally. We illustrate our framework with ASPT phases protected by a weak global symmetry and strong fermion parity symmetry and then extend it to a general group structure. Moreover, we derive both the classification data and the explicit forms of the obstruction functions using the LPDO formalism, particularly in the case of nontrivial group extension between strong and weak symmetries, where intrinsic ASPT phases may emerge. We demonstrate constructions of fixed-point LPDOs for ASPT phases in both &lt;k:math xmlns:k=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"&gt;&lt;k:mrow&gt;&lt;k:mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;(&lt;/k:mo&gt;&lt;k:mrow&gt;&lt;k:mn&gt;1&lt;/k:mn&gt;&lt;k:mo&gt;+&lt;/k:mo&gt;&lt;k:mn&gt;1&lt;/k:mn&gt;&lt;/k:mrow&gt;&lt;k:mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;)&lt;/k:mo&gt;&lt;k:mi mathvariant=\"normal\"&gt;D&lt;/k:mi&gt;&lt;/k:mrow&gt;&lt;/k:math&gt; and &lt;p:math xmlns:p=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" display=\"inline\"&gt;&lt;p:mrow&gt;&lt;p:mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;(&lt;/p:mo&gt;&lt;p:mrow&gt;&lt;p:mn&gt;2&lt;/p:mn&gt;&lt;p:mo&gt;+&lt;/p:mo&gt;&lt;p:mn&gt;1&lt;/p:mn&gt;&lt;/p:mrow&gt;&lt;p:mo stretchy=\"false\"&gt;)&lt;/p:mo&gt;&lt;p:mi mathvariant=\"normal\"&gt;D&lt;/p:mi&gt;&lt;/p:mrow&gt;&lt;/p:math&gt; and discuss their physical realization in decohered or disordered systems.
