The corresponding higher-order topological surface theory can also be systematically studied via higher-order bulk-boundary correspondence. In particular, we discover several intrinsically interacting topological phases that cannot be realized in any free-fermion systems.

Focusing first on a prototypical model problem from fluid dynamics, that of liquid film flowing down a vertical plane, we show that under certain conditions, a two-pulse system undergoes a transition from a regime of decaying oscillatory dynamics to one with self-sustained oscillations. Intriguingly, such a transition is not governed by the standard Hopf bifurcation. Instead, a novel governing mechanism for transition to oscillatory dynamics is unraveled via a peculiar and atypical Hopf bifurcation in which a complex-conjugate resonance pair crosses the imaginary axis in the complex plane. Prior to crossing the essential spectrum (including at the bifurcation point), this resonance pair does not appear in the standard L</a:mi>C</a:mi>2</a:mn></a:msubsup></a:math>-based spectral analysis but reveals itself when appropriate weighted functional spaces are used. We show that such a resonance pair originates from the splitting of a resonance pole of the single-pulse system. While this object is not part of the classical spectrum, it plays a vital role in shaping the system’s dynamics. We further demonstrate that this resonance-pole mechanism extends to a broad range of systems. Specifically, in the generalised Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation—a model prototype applicable across a wide range of fields from fluid dynamics to geophysics and plasma physics—we observe the same bifurcation and resulting oscillatory pulse interactions. By contrast, in the FitzHugh-Nagumo model—a central model prototype in reaction-diffusion systems—the resonance pole splits into real eigenvalues, and monotonic pulse interactions occur. In addition, we illustrate that the resonance pole may induce oscillatory interactions in three-pulse systems and eventually lead to chaotic dynamics in strongly interacting multipulse systems, which can be quantified in terms of a positive Lyapunov exponent. <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":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144629484","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}

Underlying such a view is the thinking that the AHE is a time-reversal symmetry breaking phenomenon and can therefore be treated in terms of a power series in the magnetic order. However, this view is squarely challenged by a number of recent experiments, urging for a thorough theoretical investigation on the fundamental level. We find that for strong magnets, it is more appropriate and fruitful to regard the AHE as a spin-group symmetry breaking phenomenon where the critical parameter is the spin-orbit interaction strength, which involves a much smaller energy scale. In collinear ferromagnets, the spin-orbit coupling breaks the ∞</a:mi>2</a:mn>′</a:mo></a:msup></a:math> spin rotation symmetry, and the key to characterizing such symmetry breaking is the identification of spin-orbit vectors which transform regularly under spin-group operations. Born out of our framework is a rich multipolar relationship between the anomalous Hall conductivity and the magnetization direction, with each pole being expanded progressively in powers of the spin-orbit coupling strength. For the leading order contribution, i.e., the dipole, its isotropic part corresponds to the traditional view, and its anisotropic part can lead to the in-plane AHE where the magnetization lies within the measurement plane. Beyond the dipolar structure, the octupolar structure offers the leading order source of nonlinearity and hence introduces unique anisotropy where the dipolar structure cannot. Our theory thus offers a unified explanation for the in-plane AHE recently observed in various ferromagnets, and further extends the candidate material systems. It can also be generalized to study the anomalous Hall effect in crystals with any periodic spin structure and to study the nonlinear Hall effect and the spin Hall effect. Our theory lays the ground for decoding the coupling between various transport and optical phenomena and the magnetic orders. <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":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144577863","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}

In this work, we use a superconducting qubit array to emulate a tight-binding model on the rhombic lattice, which features flat bands. Enabled by broad adjustability of the dispersion of the energy bands and of on-site disorder, we examine regimes where flat-band localization and Anderson localization compete. We observe disorder-induced localization for dispersive bands and disorder-induced delocalization for flat bands. Remarkably, we find a sudden transition between the two regimes and, in its vicinity, the semblance of quantum critical scaling. <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":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144304494","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}
