We present a general "fit-free" method for measuring the equation of state (EoS) of a scale-invariant gas. This method, which is inspired from the procedure introduced by Ku et al. [Science 335, 563 (2012)] for the unitary three-dimensional Fermi gas, provides a general formalism which can be readily applied to any quantum gas in a known trapping potential, in the frame of the local density approximation. We implement this method on a weakly interacting two-dimensional Bose gas across the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and determine its EoS with unprecedented accuracy in the critical region. Our measurements provide an important experimental benchmark for classical-field approaches which are believed to accurately describe quantum systems in the weakly interacting but nonperturbative regime.

The tightly bound excitons and strong dipole-dipole interactions in two-dimensional molecular crystals enable rich physics. Among them, superradiance (SR), the spontaneous coherent emission from bright excitons, has sparked considerable interest in quantum-information applications. In addition, optically forbidden states (dark exciton states) have potential to both achieve Bose-Einstein condensation and modulate exciton dynamics.

Article Synopsis
  • The research explores how to trigger superconductivity in very thin semiconductor materials using excitons to create an effective attraction between electrons, expanding beyond traditional phonon-mediated superconductivity.
  • By including interactions related to trions, the study shows that the electron-exciton interaction varies significantly with frequency and momentum, leading to a transition between weakly bound Cooper pairs and a superfluid state of bipolarons.
  • Despite the complexity of strong-coupling conditions, the resulting bipolarons are lightweight, allowing for critical temperatures that can reach up to 10% of the Fermi temperature, suggesting that two-dimensional material heterostructures could be valuable for achieving high-temperature superconductivity when electron doping and trion effects are optimized.

Quantum-confined, two-dimensional (2D) CsPbBr (CPB) nanoplates (NPLs) have emerged as exceptional candidates for next-generation blue LEDs and display technology applications. However, their large surface-to-volume ratio and detrimental bromide vacancies adversely affect their photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Additionally, external perturbations such as heat, light exposure, moisture, oxygen, and solvent polarity accelerate their transformation into three-dimensional (3D), green-emitting CPB nanocrystals (NCs), thereby resulting in the loss of their quantum confinement.

The relaxation behaviour of isolated quantum systems taken out of equilibrium is among the most intriguing questions in many-body physics. Quantum systems out of equilibrium typically relax to thermal equilibrium states by scrambling local information and building up entanglement entropy. However, kinetic constraints in the Hamiltonian can lead to a breakdown of this fundamental paradigm owing to a fragmentation of the underlying Hilbert space into dynamically decoupled subsectors in which thermalization can be strongly suppressed.

Use of federated learning to develop an artificial intelligence model predicting usable blastocyst formation from pre-ICSI oocyte images.

Reprod Biomed Online

Research Question: Can federated learning be used to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for evaluating oocyte competence using two-dimensional images of denuded oocytes in metaphase II prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)?

Results: The oocyte AI model demonstrated area under the curve (AUC) up to 0.65 on two blind test datasets. High sensitivity for predicting competent oocytes (83-88%) was offset by lower specificity (26-36%).
