The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) cage enables localized confinement with nondiffractive
propagation for arbitrary excitation. In this study, we introduce an anti-parity-time (anti-PT) …

We propose a hybrid feed-forward receiver (HFFRE) for the discrimination of binary phase-
shift-keyed coherent states based on the appropriate combination of a displacement feed …

The introduction of Peierls phases in open tight-binding chains without closed paths in either
real or synthetic dimensions is understood to be physically inconsequential, as one …

In this work, we study the entanglement and topological properties of an extended flat-band
Creutz ladder by considering a compacted localized state (CLS). Based on the CLS picture …

Identifying topological phases for a strongly correlated theory remains a non-trivial task, as
defining order parameters, such as Berry phases, is not straightforward. Quantum …

Two-leg spin-1/2 ladders with anisotropy and two different dimerization patterns are
analyzed at zero temperature. This model is equivalent to a modulated interacting (Kitaev) …

We show how Carrollian symmetries become important in the construction of one-
dimensional fermionic systems with all flat-band spectra from first principles. The key …

Fractional excitations offer vast potential for both fundamental physics and quantum
technologies. However, their dynamics under the influence of gauge fields pose a significant …

We study the topological quantum phase transitions (QPTs) and quantum criticality of a two-
leg Kitaev ladder. In the absence of superconducting phase difference, the thermal Drude …

The entanglement of different parts of a quantum system is expected to be proportional to
the common interface area. Therefore alterations across the interface will lead to changes …
