Researchers have constructed a non-invertible chiral symmetry in a 3+1D lattice model — bridging quantum field theory and condensed matter physics while offering new tools to study anomalies on lattices.

A rainbow band depicted as a vortex loop, where the band appears to be twisting and folding over itself in places. The loop is a ribbon, and each linking of the ribbon contains a different phase.

A new theoretical framework puts an upper limit on how quickly the structure of quantum entanglement can change, closing a longstanding gap in the simulation of long-range quantum systems.

A figure illustrating the paper’s central result: a new Spectral Small-Incremental-Entangling theorem puts a universal limit on how quickly the detailed structure of quantum entanglement can change. At left, two colored spheres labeled A and B represent two interacting quantum subsystems, connected by an interaction. At right, a plot shows the time-evolving entanglement spectrum, with squared Schmidt coefficients decreasing with coefficient index and following a 1/s2 tail.

🔬Researchers measured H2 dissociation energy 5x more accurately than ever before — reaching 175 kHz precision. By analyzing para-hydrogen, the team set a new benchmark that outpaces state-of-the-art quantum theory.

A figure compares the dissociation energy results of this work to previous reported measurements. The top third of the plot is shaded pink, and labeled para-H2. The bottom section, labeled ortho-H2, is shaded blue. In the plot, points with error bars are stacked vertically and labeled with the corresponding paper they are from. From top to bottom, those labels read: This work, Beyer et al. 2019a, This Work, Holsch et al. 2019b, Cheng et al. 2018c, Altmann et al. 2018d, and Liu et al. 2009e.

A new paper analyzes the thermodynamics of biological mixtures to derive the mathematical conditions for metastability of phase separated states — showing that Hopfield liquids can retrieve information through nucleation of target phases.

Two diagrams show a multicomponent mixture with a blue background representing the solvent. The diagram labeled “Homogeneous” is a schematic of a homogeneous state. The solutes are depicted by around 30 differently colored circles randomly and roughly evenly distributed around the box. The diagram labeled “Phase separated” is a schematic of a phase separated state, where several droplets of diverse sizes and compositions can coexist. In three regions, the multicolored circles are randomly distributed or clustered to represent three droplets, one small (top right), one medium (top left) and one large (bottom).
