Coherence, Transport, and Chaos in 1D Bose–Hubbard Model: Disorder vs. Stark Potential

Fortschritte der Physik, EarlyView.
Quantum coherence and criticality in finite Bose–Hubbard chains are investigated using exact diagonalization. Thermal fluctuations, Stark potential, and disorder reshape coherence, visibility, and superfluid response. Finite‐size systems show signatures of quantum criticality, with disorder suppressing global superfluidity but preserving local ...

The origins of nuclear astrophysics at Caltech [PDF]

, 1983
Shortly before the start of World War II, several theoretical physicists, including Hans Bethe and Carl von Weizsacker, advanced the idea that the sun derives it energy from nuclear reactions within its core. C. C.

Dark Excitonic State Preparation in a Symmetry‐Protected Open Quantum Battery

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
An optical charging protocol is presented for an excitonic quantum battery that prepares the system in a symmetry‐protected dark excited state. Using a continuous‐wave laser followed by controlled relaxation, the system stores energy in a state resilient to environmental losses. Abstract Previous work (J. Phys. Chem.

First direct measurement of 12C(12C,n)23Mg at stellar energies

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
Neutrons produced by the carbon fusion reaction 12C(12C,n)23Mg play an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis. Past studies have shown large discrepancies between experimental data and theory, leading to an uncertain cross section extrapolation at ...

Nuclear Astrophysics in Rare Isotope Facilities

, 2009
Nuclear reactions in stars are difficult to measure directly in the laboratory at the small astrophysical energies. In recent years indirect methods with rare isotopes have been developed and applied to extract low-energy astrophysical cross sections ...

Broken Structural Symmetry in Terahertz Detectors: Physical Mechanisms, Device Design, and Recent Advances

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Breaking the structural symmetry of devices is a crucial design strategy that endows terahertz (THz) detectors with novel operating mechanisms and unique characteristics. This study provides an in‐depth discussion on symmetry‐breaking‐induced phenomena, novel asymmetric structures, and dominant detection mechanisms.
