Meta‑optical elements, particularly metalenses, offer unprecedented capabilities for wavefront manipulation in ultra‑compact form factors, yet they face inherent challenges including strong chromatic aberration, severe off‑axis aberrations, limited depth of field, and fundamental trade‑offs between numerical aperture, field of view, and resolution. AI, ranging from deep learning‑based post‑processing to end‑to‑end differentiable optimization, provides a powerful toolkit to address these limitations, enabling meta‑optical imagers to achieve performance levels that rival or even surpass conventional bulky optics.

This approach circumvents the need for complex time-domain integrals or the construction of generating functions, replacing them with algebraic combinations of Fourier coefficients. We prove the equivalence of this method to previous approaches and validate it using the generalized harmonic oscillator. We also apply this approach to the non-integrable Pullen-Edmonds model to compute the CMT and compare it with its quantum counterpart, finding a good agreement between them, except near KAM resonant frequencies, which lead to the destruction of invariant tori. By applying Padé approximants, we extend the range of validity of the CMT.

By tuning parameters such as material, shape, size, and spatial arrangement, these systems can be optimized for specific optical responses, offering vast potential across nanooptics. Their ability to control light at subwavelength scales has positioned nanoplasmonics at the forefront of applications including biosensing, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, photovoltaic light harvesting, optoelectronics, and nanomedicine, driving transformative advances in science and technology. Despite their strengths, plasmonic systems suffer from significant optical losses due to the intrinsic properties of metals like gold and silver. These losses, primarily from Ohmic damping, convert optical energy into heat and limit performance in some applications. Nevertheless, plasmonic structures retain a key advantage in scenarios requiring strong field confinement, where dielectric systems typically fall short. This review focuses on areas where plasmonic nanostructures remain particularly effective, such as sensing, surface-enhanced spectroscopy, emission modulation, and nonlinear optics. Selected examples are presented to illustrate fundamental principles and recent developments, offering a comprehensive guide for researchers exploring nanoplasmonics in these targeted applications.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"538 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148466638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 contrast, solid–liquid interfaces between oxides and molecular liquids have received relatively less attention in the transition metal oxide community, partly because such systems are often perceived as electronically robust and weakly tunable. Here, we show that the 5<i>d</i> oxide SrIrO<sub>3</sub> exhibits increased in situ resistance in molecular liquid environments, owing to promoted molecular adsorption and delocalized <i>d</i> electrons arising from strong metal-oxygen covalency. Notably, capping with toluene or ice further enhances the intrinsic Anderson-localization-driven metal-insulator transition in the SrIrO<sub>3</sub> film. This effect originates from electrostatic modulation by dipoles of physisorbed molecules. Moreover, reversible switching between high- and low-resistance states in SrIrO<sub>3</sub> is achieved using a liquid crystal capping medium, where the molecular dipole orientation can be electrically controlled. This work demonstrates that dipoles in molecular liquids can effectively reconstruct the electronic states at the surface of iridate oxide films, offering promising opportunities for sensing and optoelectronic applications.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"538 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148462804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The explanatory power of this framework is demonstrated by revisiting a recent waveguide experiment: we show that the measured quantity corresponds to the imaginary part of the momentum weak value, which reflects the spatial decay of the wave field, not the particle velocity.
