We study a relativistic O(N) model near the quantum critical point in 2 + 1 dimensions for N = 2 and N = 3. The scalar susceptibility is evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation. We show that the spectrum contains a well-defined peak associated with the Higgs mode arbitrarily close to the critical point. The peak fidelity and the amplitude ratio between the critical energy scales on both sides of the transition are determined.

Exciting the Higgs Mode in a Strongly Interacting Fermi Gas by Interaction Modulation.

Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on the Higgs mode in a strongly interacting Fermi gas transitioning from a fermionic to a bosonic superfluid.
- By adjusting the interaction strength of the gas, the researchers excite the Higgs mode and measure its resonance frequency and line width based on different interaction strengths and temperatures.
- They discover that at low temperatures, the resonance frequency aligns with a theoretical model, and both frequency and line width remain relatively stable with temperature, contrary to theoretical expectations but in line with another recent study.
Optical response of Higgs mode in superconductors at clean limit: formulation through Eilenberger equation and Ginzburg-Landau Lagrangian.

Both macroscopic Ginzburg-Landau Lagrangian and microscopic gauge-invariant kinetic equation suggest a finite Higgs-mode generation in the second-order optical response of superconductors at clean limit, whereas the previous derivations through the path-integral approach and Eilenberger equation within the Matsubara formalism failed to give such generation. The crucial treatment leading to this controversy lies at an artificial scheme that whether the external optical frequency is taken as continuous variable or bosonic Matsubara frequency to handle the gap dynamics within the Matsubara formalism. To resolve this issue, we derive the effective action of the superconducting gap nearin the presence of the vector potential through the path-integral approach, to fill in the long missing gap of the microscopic derivation of the Ginzburg-Landau Lagrangian in superconductors.

We formulate scalar field theories coupled nonconformally to gravity in a manifestly frame-independent fashion. Physical quantities such as the S matrix should be invariant under field redefinitions, and hence can be represented by the geometry of the target space. This elegant geometric formulation, however, is obscured when considering the coupling to gravity because of the redundancy associated with the Weyl transformation.

Article Synopsis
- - Zika virus (ZIKV) is a serious global health threat due to its association with neurological diseases like Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly, and it spreads primarily through mosquito bites.
- - Accurate detection of ZIKV is complicated by its genetic similarity to other flaviviruses and the cross-reactivity of existing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), particularly those targeting the envelope protein.
- - Researchers have developed two specific mAbs, A11 and A42, which target distinct regions of the ZIKV E protein, enhancing the tools available for research on ZIKV detection and understanding its behavior in infected cells.

Ultrafast optical control of quantum systems is an emerging field of physics. In particular, the possibility of light-driven superconductivity has attracted much of attention. To identify nonequilibrium superconductivity, it is necessary to measure fingerprints of superconductivity on ultrafast timescales.
