Manipulating one-way quantum steering in a mechanical gain-loss optomechanical system.

Based on the phenomenon of exceptional points (EPs) in the optomechanically induced mechanical -symmetric binary and ternary systems, we propose a mechanism to generate the perfect one-way quantum steering between two totally symmetric modes, respectively. By investigating the quantum steering behavior in the close vicinity of EP, we find that the optimal one-way quantum steering can be successfully generated at the EP in the -symmetric binary mechanical system. When pushing the system towards the EP, we show that not only is the broadest region of the one-way quantum steering achieved, but the robustness against the thermal noise can be significantly enhanced.

In this paper, profiting from the ultrahigh-quality factor of the crystalline whispering-gallery-mode resonator, by using a self-injection locking mechanism to suppress spontaneous emission noise and improve coherence, sub-kHz linewidth at 450 nm is obtained.

Highly Sensitive Force Sensor Based on High-Q Asymmetric V-Shaped CaF Resonator.

Whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators have high-quality factors and can be used in high-sensitivity sensors due to the narrow line width that allows for the detection of small external changes.

Multidimensional analysis of supervisors' safety leadership on safety violations of construction workers: An empirical investigation.

Background: Frontline supervisors have the most frequent interactions with workers on construction projects.

Ultra-stable control near the EP in non-Hermitian systems and high-precision angular rate sensing applications.

In non-Hermitian systems, enhancing sensitivity under exceptional point (EP) conditions offers an ideal solution for reconciling the trade-off between sensitivity and size constraints in sensing applications. However, practical application is limited by undesired sensitivity to external fluctuations, noise, and errors in signal amplification synchronization. This paper presents a precisely controlled EP tracking and detection system (EPTDS) that achieves long-term rapid tracking and locking near the EP by constructing a second-order non-Hermitian optical sensing unit, employing an optical power adaptive control method, and utilizing a combinatorial demodulation-based dual-loop cascaded control (CDCC) technique to selectively suppress traditional noise at different frequencies.

An ultrahigh sensitivity acoustic sensor system for weak signal detection based on an ultrahigh- CaF resonator.

Acoustic sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity, broadband response, and high resolution are essential for high-precision nondestructive weak signal detection technology. In this paper, based on the size effect of an ultrahigh-quality () calcium fluoride (CaF) resonator, a weak acoustic signal is detected by the dispersive response regime in which an acoustic, elastic wave modulates the geometry and is converted to a resonance frequency shift. Through the structural design of the resonator, the sensitivity reaches 11.

Folate modified dual pH/reduction-responsive mixed micelles assembled using FA-PEG-PDEAEMA and PEG-SS-PCL for doxorubicin delivery.

Aiming at achieving the concurrent performances of high loading, well controlled release and active targeted delivery, folate (FA) modified dual pH/reduction-responsive mixed polymeric micelles were rationally assembled using FA-PEG-PDEAEMA and PEG-SS-PCL by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. The optimized polymers PEG-PDEAEMA, FA-PEG-PDEAEMA, and PEG-SS-PCL were synthesized and characterized using H NMR, FT-IR and GPC, and their mixed micelles were applied for doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The drug loading capacity (LC) and encapsulation efficiency (EE) values of the MIX1 (FA-PEG-PDEAEMA/PEG-SS-PCL) at a DOX/polymer feeding ratio of 15 mg/30 mg were 20.

How to effectively prevent alienation behavior of prefabricated construction developers: an optimization analysis of regulatory strategies.

Prefabricated buildings (PBs) contribute to sustainable development, and their development largely depends on the active participation of developers. However, based on the characteristics of different stages of PBs' development and the goals of "14th Five-Year Plan" for architecture in China, it is an urgent practical problem for the government to encourage developers' active participation while regulating their alienation behavior. To address such problem, this paper uses the evolutionary game method to explore the government's reasonable regulatory strategies for developers' behavior in different development stages of PBs.

This paper presents a novel resonant magnetic sensor consisting of a graphene nanomechanical oscillator and magnetostrictive stress coupling structure, using Si/SiO substrate and Fe-Ga alloy, respectively. In this device, the deformation of the Fe-Ga alloy resulting from the external magnetic field changed the surface tension of the graphene, resulting in a significant change in the resonance frequency of graphene. Using the finite element analysis, it could be found that the response of the resonance frequency revealed a good linear relationship with the external magnetic field (along the -axis) in the range of the 1 to 1.

Two distinct superconducting states controlled by orientations of local wrinkles in LiFeAs.

For iron-based superconductors, the phase diagrams under pressure or strain exhibit emergent phenomena between unconventional superconductivity and other electronic orders, varying in different systems. As a stoichiometric superconductor, LiFeAs has no structure phase transitions or entangled electronic states, which manifests an ideal platform to explore the pressure or strain effect on unconventional superconductivity. Here, we observe two types of superconducting states controlled by orientations of local wrinkles on the surface of LiFeAs.

The iron-based superconductor is emerging as a promising platform for Majorana zero mode, which can be used to implement topological quantum computation. One of the most significant advances of this platform is the appearance of large vortex level spacing that strongly protects Majorana zero mode from other low-lying quasiparticles. Despite the advantages in the context of physics research, the inhomogeneity of various aspects hampers the practical construction of topological qubits in the compounds studied so far.

Observation of magnetic adatom-induced Majorana vortex and its hybridization with field-induced Majorana vortex in an iron-based superconductor.

Braiding Majorana zero modes is essential for fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. Iron-based superconductors with nontrivial band topology have recently emerged as a surprisingly promising platform for creating distinct Majorana zero modes in magnetic vortices in a single material and at relatively high temperatures. The magnetic field-induced Abrikosov vortex lattice makes it difficult to braid a set of Majorana zero modes or to study the coupling of a Majorana doublet due to overlapping wave functions.
