We succeeded in growing high quality single crystals of URu(2)Si(2) and performed thermal expansion measurements under pressure. Applying a magnetic field along the [001] direction in the tetragonal structure, the so-called hidden-order phase reappears after the suppression of the antiferromagnetic phase above the critical pressure P(x). We determined the pressure-temperature-field phase diagram for the paramagnetic, hidden-order and antiferromagnetic states for the [Formula: see text] direction. We also present the temperature dependence of the upper critical field H(c2) for [Formula: see text] and [100] determined by the AC specific heat measurements, corresponding to the bulk superconductivity in a high quality single crystal.

In ordered magnets, the elementary excitations are spin waves (magnons), which obey Bose-Einstein statistics. Similarly to Cooper pairs in superconductors, magnons can be paired into bound states under attractive interactions. The Zeeman coupling to a magnetic field is able to tune the particle density through a quantum critical point, beyond which a 'hidden order' is predicted to exist.

Topological quantum many-body systems are characterized by a hidden order encoded in the entanglement between their constituents. While entanglement is often quantified using the entanglement entropy, its full description relies on the entanglement Hamiltonian, which is commonly used to identify complex phases arising in numerical simulations, but whose measurement remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we map entanglement to spectral properties by realizing a physical system whose single-particle dynamics is governed by the entanglement Hamiltonian of a quantum Hall system.

Density-density correlation analysis is a convenient diagnostic tool to reveal the hidden order in the strongly correlated phases of ultracold atoms. We report on a study of the density-density correlations of ultracold bosonic atoms which were initially prepared in a Mott insulator (MI) state in one-dimensional optical lattices. For the atomic gases released from the deep optical lattice, we extracted the normalized density-density correlation function from the atomic density distributions of freely expanded atomic clouds.

A widely known property of lipid membranes is their tendency to undergo a separation into disordered (L) and ordered (L) domains. This impacts the local structure of the membrane relevant for the physical (e.g.

The mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides (cuprate) remains elusive, with the pseudogap phase considered a potential factor. Recent attention has focused on a long-range symmetry-broken charge-density wave (CDW) order in the underdoped regime, induced by strong magnetic fields. Here by Cu-nuclear magnetic resonance, we report the discovery of a long-range CDW order in the optimally doped BiSrLaCuO superconductor, induced by in-plane strain exceeding ∣ε∣ = 0.
