The rung-3.5 approach to density functional theory constructs nonlocal approximate correlation from the expectation values of nonlocal one-electron operators. This offers an inexpensive solution to hybrid functionals' imbalance between exact nonlocal exchange and local approximate correlation. Our rung-3.5 correlation functionals also include a local complement to the nonlocal ingredient, analogous to the local exchange component of a hybrid functional. Here, we use the density matrix expansion (DME) to build rung-3.5 complements. We demonstrate how these provide a measure of local fractional occupancy and use them to approximate the flat-plane condition. We also use these complements in a three-parameter nonlocal correlation functional compatible with full nonlocal exchange. This functional approaches the accuracy of widely used hybrids for molecular thermochemistry and kinetics. The DME provides a foundation for practical, minimally empirical, nonlocal correlation functionals compatible with full nonlocal local exchange.

Exact Quantization of Topological Order Parameter in SU(N) Spin Models, N-ality Transformation and Ingappabilities.

We show that the ground-state expectation value of twisting operator is a topological order parameter for U(1)- and Z_{N}-symmetric symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in one-dimensional "spin" systems-it is quantized in the thermodynamic limit and can be used to identify different SPT phases and to diagnose phase transitions among them. We prove that this (nonlocal) order parameter must take values in Nth roots of unity, and its value can be changed by a generalized lattice translation acting as an N-ality transformation connecting distinct phases. This result also implies the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) ingappability for SU(N) spins if we further impose a general translation symmetry.

Experimental Equivalence Checking of Quantum Circuits by Nonlocality.

The quantum circuit model is the most widely used theoretical model for quantum computing. Therefore, determining whether two quantum circuits whose internal structures cannot be seen have the same functionality will be a fundamental problem in future quantum industries, which however turns out to be QMA-hard. Here, based on a photonic system we experimentally implement the equivalence checking of two unknown quantum circuits with real unitary matrix representations, where quantum nonlocality plays a key role and allows us to measure an "average-case" distance between the two quantum circuits very efficiently.

Optical metasurfaces offer significant advantages in enhancing the speed, efficiency, and miniaturization of imaging systems. However, most existing metasurfaces are limited to static functionalities and lack reconfigurability, which is a key feature for practical applications in dynamic environments. In this work, we demonstrate a reconfigurable optical metasurface capable of switching between two distinct imaging functions (edge detection and bright-field imaging) within the visible spectrum.
