The most common percolation models are bond or site percolation for which the Newman-Ziff algorithm enables an efficient simulation. Here, we consider several nonstandard percolation models that appear in the context of measurement-based photonic quantum computing with so-called graph states and fusion networks. The associated percolation thresholds determine the tolerance to photon loss in such systems and we develop modifications of the Newman-Ziff algorithm to efficiently perform the corresponding percolation simulations. We demonstrate our algorithms by using them to characterize exemplary fusion networks and graph states.","PeriodicalId":20546,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Research","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The light-matter interaction Hamiltonian we derive is expressed through couplings between spherical gradients of the electric field and the (transition) electric multipole moments of a particle of any nontrivial rotation point group. Our model can therefore accommodate an arbitrary complexity of the molecular and electric field structure, and it can be straightforwardly extended to atoms or nanostructures. Applying this framework to rovibrational spectroscopy of molecules, we uncover the general mechanism of angular momentum exchange between the spin and orbital angular momenta of light, molecular rotation, and its center-of-mass motion. We show that the nonzero vorticity of Laguerre-Gaussian beams can strongly enhance certain rovibrational transitions that are considered forbidden in the case of nonhelical light. We discuss the experimental requirements for the observation of these forbidden transitions in state-of-the-art spatially resolved spectroscopy measurements.","PeriodicalId":20546,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Research","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These dynamics manifest as random multiplicative cascades, embodying nonlinear relationships characterized by recurring division, branching, and aggregation processes implicating noise across successive generations. This investigation focuses on how well the diversity of multifractal properties can be specific to the type of cascade relationship between generation (i.e., multiplicative, additive, or a mixture) as well as to the type of noise (i.e., including additive white Gaussian noise, fractional Gaussian noise, and various amalgamations) among 15 distinct types of binomial cascade processes. Cross-correlation analysis of multifractal spectral features confirms that these features capture nuanced aspects of cascading processes with minimal redundancy. Principal component analysis using 13 distinct multifractal spectral features shows that different cascade processes can manifest multifractal evidence of nonlinearity for distinct reasons. This transparency of multifractal spectral features to underlying cascade dynamics becomes less amenable to machine-learning strategies. Fully connected neural networks struggled to classify the 15 distinct types of cascade processes based on the respective multifractal spectral features (<math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mn>45.5</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></math> accuracy) yet demonstrated improved accuracy when addressing single categories of cross-generation relationships, that is, additive (<math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mn>91.6</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></math>), multiplicative (<math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mn>75.4</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></math>), or additomultiplicative (<math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mn>70.6</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></math>). While traditional principal component analysis reveals distinct loadings attributed to individual noise processes, multiplicative relationships between generations effectively make the constituent noise processes less discernible to neural networks. Neural networks may lack sufficient hierarchical depth required to effectively distinguish among nonadditive cascading processes, recommending either elaborating multifractal geometry or using alternate architectures for machine-learning classification of cascades with multiplicative relationships.","PeriodicalId":20546,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Research","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its spin ground state remains to be explored experimentally. We grew high-quality single crystals of YbOCl and conducted comprehensive thermodynamic, elastic, and inelastic neutron scattering experiments down to 50 mK. The experiments reveal an antiferromagnetic phase below 1.3 K which is identified as a spin ground state with an intralayer ferromagnetic and interlayer antiferromagnetic ordering. By applying sophisticated numerical techniques to a honeycomb (nearest-neighbor)–triangle (next-nearest-neighbor) model Hamiltonian which accurately describes the highly anisotropic spin system, we are able to simulate the experiments well and determine the diagonal and off-diagonal spin-exchange interactions. The simulations give an antiferromagnetic Kitaev term comparable to the Heisenberg one. The experiments under magnetic fields allow us to establish a magnetic field–temperature phase diagram around the spin ground state. Most interestingly, a relatively small magnetic field (<math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mo>∼</mo><mn>0.3</mn></math> to 3 T) can significantly suppress the antiferromagnetic order, suggesting an intriguing interplay of the Kitaev interaction and magnetic fields in the spin system.

In this Letter, we investigate the influence of the angle of reduction in the cross section of the channel on the bridging of semidilute and dense non-Brownian suspensions of spherical particles. We observe a decrease of the clogging probability with the reduction of the constriction angle. This effect is more pronounced for dense suspensions close to the maximum packing fraction where particles are in contact in contrast to semidilute suspensions. We rationalize this difference in terms of arch selection. We describe the role of the constriction angle and the flow profile, providing insights into the distinct behavior of semidilute and dense suspensions.","PeriodicalId":20546,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Research","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In generic systems, an excited impurity coupled to a large bath at zero temperature is expected to relax and approach its ground state over time. However, certain exceptional cases exhibit metastability, where the system remains in an excited state on timescales largely exceeding the typical relaxation time. We study this phenomenon for three prototypical impurity models: a tight-binding quantum model of independent spinless fermions on a lattice with two stub impurities, a classical-spin Heisenberg model with two weakly coupled classical impurity spins, and a tight-binding quantum model of independent electrons with two classical impurity spins. Through numerical integration of the fundamental equations of motion, we find that all three models exhibit similar qualitative behavior: complete relaxation for nearest-neighbor impurities and incomplete or strongly delayed relaxation for next-nearest-neighbor impurities. The underlying mechanisms leading to this behavior differ between models and include impurity-induced bound states, emergent approximately conserved local observables, and exact cancellation of local and nonlocal dissipation effects.","PeriodicalId":20546,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Research","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze several avalanche metrics and provide a detailed picture of the dynamics associated with turning avalanches, employing tools from avalanche behavior in condensed-matter physics and seismology. Our results identify power-law distributions and robust scale-free behavior through data collapses and scaling relationships, confirming a necessary condition for criticality in fish schools. We explore the biological function of turning avalanches and link them to collective decision-making processes in selecting a new movement direction for the school. We report relevant boundary effects arising from interactions with the tank walls and influential roles of boundary individuals. Finally, spatial and temporal correlations in avalanches are explored using the concept of aftershocks from seismology, revealing clustering of avalanche events below a designated timescale and an Omori law with a faster decay rate than observed in earthquakes.","PeriodicalId":20546,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Research","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
