The spin-orbit splitting of CuCl(2) in its ground X(2)Pi(g) state remains an unknown or, at best, poorly defined quantity. The electronic spectrum of CuCl(2) has been studied by Fourier transform resolved, laser-induced fluorescence between 602 and 587 nm, in an attempt to identify transitions to the upper spin component of the ground state. In order to provide a well-defined excitation process, the sample was cooled to rotational temperatures of about 10 K in a free-jet expansion. Observations from just two rotationally perturbed levels in the upper electronic state, one for (63)Cu(35)Cl(2) and the other for (65)Cu(35)Cl(37)Cl, have revealed an additional feature about 482 cm(-1) above the (2)Pi(3/2) state. The effective rotational constants associated with these levels (0.066 20 cm(-1) for (63)Cu(35)Cl(2)) are significantly larger than those for the ground (2)Pi(3/2) state (0.058 13 cm(-1)). Analysis of this feature as the (2)Pi(1/2) component leads to a value of -482.9 cm(-1) for the spin-orbit coupling constant A and of -0.0846 cm(-1) for the lambda-doubling parameter (p+2q) for (63)Cu(35)Cl(2). Several other previously unobserved levels are also identified within 2000 cm(-1) of the ground state. Many of these also have anomalously large rotational constants.

Absence of High-Pressure Ground-State Reentrant Ferroelectricity in PbTiO_{3}.

We study ferroelectricity in the classic perovskite ferroelectric PbTiO_{3} to high pressures with density functional theory (DFT) and experimental diamond-anvil techniques. We use second harmonic generation spectroscopy to detect lack of inversion symmetry. Consistent with early understanding and experiments, we find that ferroelectricity disappears at moderate pressures.

Designer heterostructures have offered a very powerful strategy to create exotic superconducting states by combining magnetism and superconductivity. In this Letter, we use a heterostructure platform combining supramolecular metal complexes (SMCs) with a quasi-2D van der Waals superconductor NbSe_{2}. Our scanning tunneling microscopy measurements demonstrate the emergence of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bands arising from the interaction between the SMC magnetism and the NbSe_{2} superconductivity.

We present a novel new way-called Schrödingerization-to simulate general (quantum and nonquantum) systems of linear ordinary and partial differential equations (PDEs) via quantum simulation. We introduce a new transform, referred to as the warped phase transformation, where any linear-including nonautonamous-system of ordinary or partial differential equation can be recast into a system of Schrödinger's equations, in real time, in a straightforward way. This approach is not only applicable to PDEs for classical problems but is also useful for quantum problems, including the preparation of quantum ground states and Gibbs thermal states, the simulation of quantum states in random media in the semiclassical limit, simulation of Schrödinger's equation in a bounded domain with artificial boundary conditions, and other non-Hermitian physics.

We investigate the driven-dissipative dynamics of multilevel atomic arrays interacting via dipolar interactions at subwavelength spacings. Unlike two-level atoms in the weakly excited regime, multilevel atoms can become strongly entangled. The entanglement manifests as the growth of spin waves in the ground-state manifold and survives after turning off the drive.

The nonintegrable higher spin Kitaev honeycomb model has an exact Z_{2} gauge structure, which exclusively identifies quantum spin liquid in the half-integer spin Kitaev model. But its constraints for the integer-spin Kitaev model are much limited, and even trivially gapped insulators cannot be excluded. The physical implications of exact Z_{2} gauge structure, especially Z_{2} fluxes, in integer-spin models remain largely unexplored.
