Here, we employ a Zeeman quantum geometry framework to study magnetotransport at the interface between a magnetic topological insulator and an unconventional magnetic insulator. By choosing the magnetic layer to be insulating, the transport response originates solely from the proximity-induced exchange field, eliminating contributions from itinerant magnetic carriers. We focus on the linear intrinsic gyrotropic magnetic (IGM) response, which decomposes into conduction and displacement current components governed by the Zeeman Berry curvature and Zeeman quantum metric, respectively. We uncover a universal hierarchy in which the transverse displacement IGM response exhibits characteristic even-fold angular harmonics for magnetic orders ranging from <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mi>p</mi>\u0000 <annotation>$p$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>- to <span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mi>i</mi>\u0000 <annotation>$i$</annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>-wave, while the longitudinal IGM response distinguishes the parity of the magnetic order through robust sign-reversal patterns. In contrast, the conduction IGM component remains largely insensitive to the underlying magnetic symmetry. Consequently, the displacement IGM current emerges as a high-fidelity symmetry fingerprint of unconventional magnetic order. Using realistic parameters for experimentally accessible heterostructures, we demonstrate that these signatures are experimentally measurable, establishing Zeeman quantum geometry as a powerful framework for characterizing unconventional magnetic insulators via gyrotropic transport responses.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":72073,"journal":{"name":"Advanced quantum technologies","volume":"9 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148856742","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}

Increasing the core radius toward the mode lobes of a specific mode, rather than toward its mode field nodes, selectively raises its effective refractive index. This method is implemented by constructing an asymmetric core using cladding tubes of different radii in a six-tube conjoined-tube anti-resonant fiber (CT-ARF). The design eliminates the degeneracy between the LP<sub>11a</sub> and LP<sub>11b</sub> modes without inducing significant birefringence or compromising low-loss operation. The optimized six-tube CT-ARF supports three weakly-coupled modes (LP<sub>01</sub>, LP<sub>11a</sub> and LP<sub>11b</sub>) within the wavelength range of 1330–1630 nm. Over this band, the effective refractive index differences between adjacent guided modes are consistently greater than 1.0 × 10<sup>−4</sup>. Within the wavelength range of 1410–1560 nm, the confinement losses for all three modes are below 2.68 dB/km.

The normally ordered characteristic function formalism is employed to derive analytical expressions for all photon number moments of the output state, allowing explicit evaluation of the quantum Fisher information matrix for multiparameter estimation. In the lossless regime, uniformly applied OPA significantly improves the attainable precision compared with an unamplified interferometer. As the OPA gain increases, the quantum Cramér–Rao bound gradually approaches Heisenberg scaling, resulting from the combined effects of increased photon resources and squeezing-induced modification of photon number statistics. Examination of second-order correlation functions indicates that this enhancement originates from amplified intra mode photon number correlations, rather than inter mode correlations. The analysis is extended to lossy interferometers using a purification-based variational approach. Although photon loss reduces the achievable precision, the OPA assisted scheme preserves a clear advantage in the moderate loss regime, demonstrating robustness against dissipation.

Sparse local losses fragment the system into random loss-free regions that host long-lived quasi-bound modes with broadly distributed lifetimes. We show that simple extended Bloch states, although having identical density profiles, couple very differently to these modes: a uniform state predominantly excites slowly decaying modes, while a phase-modulated state couples more strongly to rapidly decaying ones. This mismatch produces a disorder-robust inversion of relaxation times, where the initially “farther” state relaxes faster.

Owing to their multi-site unit cell, DHPLs support a broad range of topological phenomena under different modulation schemes. With Su–Schrieffer–Heeger-type coupling asymmetry, the lattice exhibits flat-band features and strongly localized higher-order corner states that remain robust against structural perturbations.
