We report measurements of quantum oscillations detected in the putative nematic phase of Sr3Ru2O7. Improvements in sample purity enabled the resolution of small amplitude de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations between two first order metamagnetic transitions delimiting the phase. Two distinct frequencies were observed, whose amplitudes follow the normal Lifshitz-Kosevich profile. Variations of the dHvA frequencies are explained in terms of a chemical potential shift produced by reaching a peak in the density of states, and an anomalous field dependence of the oscillatory amplitude provides information on domains.

Exploring continuous time crystals (CTCs) within the symmetric subspace of spin systems has been a subject of intensive research in recent times. Thus far, the stability of the time-crystal phase outside the symmetric subspace in such spin systems has gone largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the effect of including the asymmetric subspaces on the dynamics of CTCs in a driven dissipative spin model.

Discrete time crystals are novel phases of matter that break the discrete time translational symmetry of a periodically driven system. In this Letter, we propose a classical system of weakly nonlinear parametrically driven coupled oscillators as a test bed to understand these phases. Such a system of parametric oscillators can be used to model period-doubling instabilities of Josephson junction arrays as well as semiconductor lasers.

Time-resolved spectroscopy is an important tool for probing photochemically induced nonequilibrium dynamics and energy transfer. Herein, a method is developed for the ab initio simulation of vibronic spectra and dynamical processes. This framework utilizes the recently developed nuclear-electronic orbital time-dependent configuration interaction (NEO-TDCI) approach, which treats all electrons and specified nuclei quantum mechanically on the same footing.

To facilitate the development of compact multi-wavelengths lasers, we reported the experimental demonstration of dual seed sources master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) QCLs. The devices were based on a sandwich configuration consisting of dual seed sources and a central power amplifier. Emission spectrum of devices was modulated by switching seed sources.

Accurately estimating phase is crucial in continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems, directly impacting the final secret key rate. In previous systems that utilize the local local oscillator, phase estimation is closely tied to the amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the pilot signal. As SNR decreases, so does the accuracy of phase estimation, leading to increased excess noise and a potential loss of the system's secret key rate.
