Article Abstract

Quantum state transfer between two distant parties is at the heart of quantum computation and quantum communication. Among the various protocols, the counterdiabatic driving (CD) method, by suppressing the unwanted transitions with an auxiliary Hamiltonian H(t), offers a fast and robust strategy to transfer quantum states. However, H(t) term often takes a complicated form in higher-dimensional systems and is difficult to realize in experiment. Recently, the Floquet-engineered method was proposed to emulate the dynamics induced by H(t) without the need for complex interactions in multi-qubit systems, which can accelerate the adiabatic process through the fast-oscillating control in the original Hamiltonian H(t). Here, we apply this method in the Heisenberg spin chains, with only control of the two marginal couplings, to achieve the fast, high-fidelity, and robust quantum state transfer. Then we report an experimental implementation of our scheme using a nuclear magnetic resonance simulator. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of this method in complex many-body system and thus provide a new alternative to realize the high-fidelity quantum state manipulation in practice.

A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) system with superior performance was successfully developed through local chemical modification from thiophene to thiophene sulfone. This approach, leveraging easily accessible tetraphenylthiophene precursors, dramatically enhances the photophysical properties in a simple oxidation step. Notably, the representative 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylthiophene sulfone (3c) demonstrates remarkable solid-state emission characteristics with a fluorescence quantum yield of 72% and an AIE factor of 240, substantially outperforming its thiophene analog.

Electric gating in atomically thin field-effect devices based on transition-metal dichalcogenides has recently been employed to manipulate their excitonic states, even producing exotic phases of matter, such as an excitonic insulator or Bose-Einstein condensate. Here, we mimic the electric gating effect of a bilayer-MoS on graphite by charge transfer induced by the adsorption of molecular p- and n-type dopants. The electric fields produced are evaluated from the electronic energy-level realignment and Stark splitting determined by X-ray and UV photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and compare very well with literature values obtained by optical spectroscopy for similar systems.

The coordination chemistry of the planar, doubly π-extended bipyridine analog, 6,6',7,7'-biphenanthridine (p-biphe), is presented. The phenanthridine units in p-biphe are fused together at the 6- and 7- positions, and the resulting rigid ligand is compared with the more flexible parent "biphe" fused only at the 6-positions. p-Biphe is intensely fluorescent in solution with a much higher quantum yield, but, unlike biphe, at 77 K the fluorescence is not accompanied by any significant phosphorescence.

Ionization of alkanes to form radical cations activates their otherwise unreactive C-H bonds, facilitating important chemical processes such as hydrocarbon cracking. This work investigates the radical cation dissociation dynamics of hexane (CH) structural isomers by using femtosecond time-resolved mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations. All five isomers exhibit competition between the yields of fragment ions arising from direct C-C bond cleavage or dissociative rearrangement with hydrogen migration on dynamical time scales of ∼50-300 fs, suggesting that hydrogen migration in the metastable cations operates on such short time scales.
