We investigate the implications of integrability for the existence of quantum disentangled liquid (QDL) states in the half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard model. We argue that there exist finite energy-density eigenstates that exhibit QDL behaviour in the sense of Grover & Fisher (2014 , P10010. (doi:10.1088/1742-5468/2014/10/P10010)). These states are atypical in the sense that their entropy density is smaller than that of thermal states at the same energy density. Furthermore, we show that thermal states in a particular temperature window exhibit a weaker form of the QDL property, in agreement with recent results obtained by strong-coupling expansion methods in Veness (2016 (http://arxiv.org/abs/1611.02075)).This article is part of the themed issue 'Breakdown of ergodicity in quantum systems: from solids to synthetic matter'.

Vibrational polaritons are formed by strong coupling of molecular vibrations and photon modes in an optical cavity. Experiments have demonstrated that vibrational strong coupling can change molecular properties and even affect chemical reactivity. However, the interactions in a molecular ensemble are complex, and the exact mechanisms that lead to modifications are not fully understood yet.

With a view towards the development of molecular spintronics, non-linear optics, and qubits, a great amount of research effort aims to establish the factors which govern the spin classification of diradicals. Electron spin resonance (ESR) is an indispensable tool for such research. However, in some cases, the mere presence of an ESR spectrum is insufficient to ascertain that the presumed diradical is indeed a triplet state.

Quantum path interferences occur whenever multiple equivalent and coherent transitions result in a common final state. Such interferences strongly modify the probability of a particle to be found in that final state, a key concept of quantum coherent control. When multiple nonlinear and energy-degenerate transitions occur in a system, the multitude of possible quantum path interferences is hard to disentangle experimentally.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses how graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures can manipulate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) through proximity effects, emphasizing the importance of understanding features near the Dirac point and the introduction of a unique "radial Rashba SOC."
  • It presents a method to differentiate between conventional Rashba SOC and radial Rashba SOC, utilizing large-scale magnetotransport calculations like transverse magnetic focusing and Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation to reveal distinct experimental signatures.
  • Additionally, the study proposes a way to estimate the Rashba angle using magnetic field responses and explores the effects of Dresselhaus SOC, hinting at potential applications in radial superconducting diodes.

Six-coordinate chromium(iii) complexes with high spin-flip (SF) photoluminescence quantum yields and lifetimes (molecular rubies) have attracted huge interest in the past years due to their applicability in sensing, photocatalysis or circularly polarised emission. However, clearcut design rules for high quantum yields and lifetimes are still lacking due to the multidimensional problem of the non-radiative decay of the SF states. Based on an isostructural series of complexes differing in the ligand backbone, we disentangle decisive structural and electronic features for SF excited state energies and non-radiative decays promoted by spin-orbit coupling, Jahn-Teller distortions and (thermally activated) multiphonon relaxation.
