In quantum counterparts of such systems, however, this classical ergodic ideal is fundamentally limited: Here, we introduce the concept of a quantum birthmark, a permanent signature left by the initial state and its early-time evolution in a general quantum system, which gives rise to nonergodic behavior persisting even in the infinite-time limit. We present a birthmark framework outlining a ubiquitous memory effect for an arbitrary, nonstationary state composed of two factors conspiring together: the universal and the revival enhancement. The former sets the minimal amplification carried by the time evolution of a quantum state based on global symmetries, whereas the latter incorporates the further enhancement stemming from the early dynamics, particularly prominent in the presence of recurrences that occur before the Heisenberg time. As a concrete example, we identify quantum birthmarks in the venerable stadium billiard, where they can be significantly enhanced by quantum scars. Finally, we discuss the broader implications of quantum birthmarks, including their role as a natural extension of all types of scarring theories to generic nonstationary quantum systems and prospects for experimental observation. Generally, our work opens an unexplored avenue for understanding the elusive quantum nature of ergodicity.","PeriodicalId":20161,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review X","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148923407","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}

Here, we demonstrate a transition between nonreciprocal states using starfish embryos at different stages of development, where interactions are inherently asymmetric and tunable. Experiments, interaction inference, and topological analysis yield a nonreciprocal state diagram spanning crystalline, flock-like, and fragmented states, revealing that weak nonreciprocity promotes structural order while stronger asymmetry disrupts it. To capture these transitions, we introduce topological landscapes, mapping the distribution of structural motifs across state space. We further develop topological flowscapes, a dynamic framework that quantifies transitions between collective states and detects an informational rate shift and an emergent proofreading from the experimental state transition. Together, these results establish a general approach for decoding nonequilibrium transitions and uncover how asymmetric interactions sculpt the dynamical and structural architecture of active and living matter.","PeriodicalId":20161,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review X","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148923408","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 an e + e − experiment, the lightest charmed baryon, Λ c + , can be produced in pairs through the single-photon annihilation process. This process can be described by two complex electromagnetic form factors. The presence of a nonzero relative phase between these form factors gives rise to a transverse polarization of the charmed baryon and provides additional constraints on the dynamic parameters in the decays. In this article, we present the first observation of the transverse polarization of Λ c + in the reaction e + e − → Λ c + Λ ¯ c − , based on 6.4     fb − 1 of e + e − annihilation data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4600 MeV and 4951 MeV with the BESIII detector. The decay asymmetry parameters in the decays Λ c + → p K S 0 , Λ π + , Σ 0 π + , and Σ + π 0 are simultaneously extracted from the joint angular distributions. By independently extracting the above parameters for the process and its C P -conjugate counterpart, we derive both the strong and weak phase differences between different partial waves and test several C P observables. The obtained results fully demonstrate the feasibility of exploiting transverse polarization at electron-positron colliders to search for C P -violating effects, opening up a new avenue for exploring C P violation in the charmed baryon sector.","PeriodicalId":20161,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review X","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148894364","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}

However, achieving efficient SOT switching of perpendicular magnetization, which is crucial for high-density applications, remains challenging due to the difficulty in generating spin currents with both high conductivity and out-of-plane polarization in conventional, industry-compatible spin sources, such as heavy metals. Here, we overcome this limitation by demonstrating a noncollinear spin-orbit filtering effect at the surface termination of conventional spin sources. This effect selectively transmits electrons based on the relative alignment between their spin vectors and the interfacial Rashba-Edelstein field. By implementing this strategy in platinum (Pt) epitaxial films with ( n 10 ) orientations ( n = 2 – 4 ), we achieve exceptionally strong z -polarized spin currents. The resulting out-of-plane spin Hall conductivity reaches a record value of 0.75 × 10 5   ( ħ / 2 e )     Ω − 1   m − 1 , surpassing all previous approaches, and enables robust field-free switching of perpendicular magnetization. Notably, the field-free switching is precisely controlled by engineering the crystal point group symmetry from C 1 v to C 4 v .

{"title":"Removing Nodal and Support-Mismatch Pathologies in Variational Monte Carlo via Blurred Sampling","authors":"Zhou-Quan Wan,Roeland Wiersema,Shiwei Zhang","doi":"10.1103/jrn5-gv19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1103/jrn5-gv19","url":null,"abstract":"Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) is a powerful and fast-growing method for optimizing and evolving parametrized many-body wave functions, especially with modern neural-network quantum states. In practice, however, the stochastic estimators that form the backbone of the method can become unstable or biased due to the presence of nodes, a ubiquitous feature of quantum wave functions. In the continuum, this results in heavy-tailed estimators with potentially divergent variances, while in discrete Hilbert spaces the sampling distribution can miss parts of the support needed to form unbiased estimators. These statistical pathologies lead to unreliable optimization trajectories in stochastic reconfiguration or incorrect variational dynamics in time-dependent variational Monte Carlo (t-VMC) and severely limit the power of the numerical simulations. We introduce blurred sampling to address these difficulties. The method has a number of rigorous properties that make it well behaved, effective, and computationally efficient. Additionally, it is a postprocessing approach that can be used without modifying the underlying sampler and incurs only minimal overhead. We demonstrate its effectiveness in a broad range of problems—including ground-state optimization in both continuum and discrete settings as well as in time-dependent variational Monte Carlo, where it resolves previously identified failure modes—and further apply it to large-scale problems in spin dynamics. This work establishes a broadly applicable framework for robust VMC and t-VMC calculations.","PeriodicalId":20161,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review X","volume":"163 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148894418","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}
