The possibility of a second pairing transition d --> d + is ( d + id') in planar d-wave superconductors which occurs in the absence of external magnetic field, magnetic impurities, or boundaries is established in the framework of the nonperturbative phenomenon of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in the system of (2+1)-dimensional Dirac-like nodal quasiparticles. We determine the critical exponents and quasiparticle spectral functions that characterize the corresponding quantum-critical behavior and discuss some of its potentially observable spectral and transport features.

Article Synopsis
- * The study differentiates contributions to this response, highlighting that longitudinal responses mainly arise from quantum metric quadrupole (QMQ), while transverse responses involve both QMQ and Berry curvature quadrupole (BCQ), with the Hall response for d-wave altermagnets being primarily influenced by BCQ.
- * Additionally, the results indicate that crystalline anisotropy and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) significantly affect the response, with SOC leading to sharper peaks in the response and changes
Vibrational wave-packet dynamics of the silver pentamer probed by femtosecond NeNePo spectroscopy.

Vibrational wave-packet dynamics on the ground electronic state of the neutral silver pentamer (Ag) are studied by femtosecond (fs) pump-probe spectroscopy using the 'negative ion - to neutral - to positive ion' (NeNePo) excitation scheme. A vibrational wave packet is prepared on the A state of Ag photodetachment of mass-selected, cryogenically cooled Ag anions using a fs pump pulse. The temporal evolution of the vibrational wave packet is then probed by an ultrafast probe pulse resonant multiphoton ionization to Ag.

We propose a novel qubit architecture based on a planar c-axis Josephson junction between a thin flake d-wave superconductor, such as a high-T_{c} cuprate Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+x}, and a conventional s-wave superconductor. When operated in the transmon regime the device-that we call "d mon"-becomes insensitive to offset charge fluctuations and, importantly, exhibits at the same time energy level spectrum with strong anharmonicity that is widely tunable through the device geometry and applied magnetic flux. Crucially, unlike previous qubit designs based on d-wave superconductors the proposed device operates in a regime where quasiparticles are fully gapped and can be therefore expected to achieve long coherence times.

Mappings of classical computation onto statistical mechanics models have led to remarkable successes in addressing some complex computational problems. However, such mappings display thermodynamic phase transitions that may prevent reaching solution even for easy problems known to be solvable in polynomial time. Here we map universal reversible classical computations onto a planar vertex model that exhibits no bulk classical thermodynamic phase transition, independent of the computational circuit.

We demonstrate a direct mapping of max k-SAT problems (and weighted max k-SAT) to a Chimera graph, which is the non-planar hardware graph of the devices built by D-Wave Systems Inc. We further show that this mapping can be used to map a similar class of maximum satisfiability problems where the clauses are replaced by parity checks over potentially large numbers of bits. The latter is of specific interest for applications in decoding for communication.
