Shortcuts to Adiabaticity for Optical Beam Propagation in Nonlinear Gradient Refractive-Index Media
In recent years, the concept of “shortcuts to adiabaticity" has been originally proposed to speed up sufficiently slow adiabatic process in various quantum systems without final excitation.

Dynamical fluctuations in classical adiabatic processes: General description and their implications [PDF]
Dynamical fluctuations in classical adiabatic processes are not considered by the conventional classical adiabatic theorem. In this work a general result is derived to describe the intrinsic dynamical fluctuations in classical adiabatic processes. Interesting implications of our general result are discussed via two subtopics, namely, an intriguing ...

Quantum search by parallel eigenvalue adiabatic passage
We propose a strategy to achieve the Grover search algorithm by adiabatic passage in a very efficient way. An adiabatic process can be characterized by the instantaneous eigenvalues of the pertaining Hamiltonian, some of which form a gap.

Adsorption and Separation by Flexible MOFs
Flexible metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) present significant potential for gas storage and separation due to their structural dynamic. This review explores the rationale behind the flexible MOFs' enhanced working capacity and separation factors. It also addresses key challenges, including phase transition kinetics, crystal robustness, cycling, shaping,

Molecular Domino Toppling for Directed Self‐Erasing Information Transfer
An azobenzene‐based material with unprecedented light‐pumped directional charge‐transfer reminiscent of toppling dominoes is presented. After light‐induced trans→cis forward isomerization, electron hopping occurs in a sequential and propagating manner between the cis isomers along with an electrocatalytic cis→trans backward isomerization.

Adiabaticity condition for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians [PDF]
We generalize the concept of population for non-Hermitian systems in different ways and identify the one best suited to characterize adiabaticity. An approximate adiabaticity criterion consistent with this choice is also worked out. Examples are provided for different processes involving two-level atoms with decay.

3D Wiring Microelectrodes in a PMMA Microfluidic Device by Vacuum Filling Method
This paper proposes a method for fabricating 3D wiring microelectrodes in arbitrary designs within 3D‐printed microfluidics. By attaching a PDMS lid and using vacuum filling, low‐melting‐point alloy (LMA) is introduced into microchannels. This enables the creation of 50 µm microelectrodes, including complex shapes.

Impact of Turbocharger Non-Adiabatic Operation on Engine Volumetric Efficiency and Turbo Lag
Turbocharger performance significantly affects the thermodynamic properties of the working fluid at engine boundaries and hence engine performance. Heat transfer takes place under all circumstances during turbocharger operation.
