Sonic crystals consisting of three-dimensional arrays of units which exhibit localized resonances have been discovered recently. Here, it is shown that their two-dimensional counterparts behave in a similar manner. Particularly, it is observed that the transmittance spectra show very asymmetric peaks which are explained as a Fano-like interference phenomenon. A finite difference time domain method is employed to perform a comprehensive study of the resonance line shape as a function of the mass density of the structural units. Also, a simple analytical model is introduced to give an intuitive account of the origin of the interference phenomenon.

The use of semiconductor nanocrystals in scalable quantum technologies requires characterization of the exciton coherence dynamics in an ensemble of electronically isolated crystals in which system-bath interactions are nevertheless strong. In this communication, we identify signatures of Fano-like interference between excitons and photocarriers in the coherent two-dimensional photoluminescence excitation spectral lineshapes of mixed lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals in dilute solution. Specifically, by tuning the femtosecond-pulse spectrum, we show such interference in an intermediate coupling regime, which is evident in the coherent lineshape when simultaneously exciting the exciton and the free-carrier band at higher energy.

We demonstrate that a superconducting qubit, jointly coupled to microwave waveguides and an inter-digital transducer composite device, can exhibit acoustic Fano resonances. Our analytical framework, leveraging the Taylor series approximation, elucidates the origins of these quantum acoustic resonances with periodic Fano-like interference.

In this work, we propose the use of interference of collective plasmons (Fano-type plasmon) that exist in densely hexagonal plasmonic oligomers to design a high-efficiency nano-optical tweezer to trap individual biomolecules with a radius of 2 nm. For this purpose, we fabricated and simulated 2D hexagonal arrays of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) with sub-wavelength lattice spacing which support collective plasmons by near-field coupling.

Article Synopsis
- A new acoustic metamaterial design featuring air-permeable multiple-parallel-connection folding chambers was developed to balance sound insulation and ventilation.
- The design includes chambers with square panels that have multiple openings, allowing for thickness and plane extension, and its effectiveness was tested using acoustic finite element simulations.
- With specific parameters, the material achieved significant sound transmission loss, reaching up to 33.6 dB at certain low frequencies and an air passage open area of 55.18%, indicating both good sound insulation and ventilation capabilities.

We explore the electron dynamics of a system composed of double quantum dot embedded between metallic and superconducting leads in a "T-shape" geometry. In nanoscopic systems, where electron transfer between electrodes can be realized via different paths, interference effects play an important role. For double quantum dot system in the chosen geometry, interference of electrons transferred between electrodes via the interfacial quantum dot and electrons scattered on the side dot gives rise to Fano-like interference.
