Article Abstract

We explore the effects of spatial locality on the dynamics of random quantum systems subject to a Markovian noise. To this end, we study a model in which the system Hamiltonian and its couplings to the noise are random matrices whose entries decay as power laws of distance, with distinct exponents α_{H}, α_{L}. The steady state is always featureless, but the rate at which it is approached exhibits three phases depending on α_{H} and α_{L}: a phase where the approach is asymptotically exponential as a result of a gap in the spectrum of the Lindblad superoperator that generates the dynamics, and two gapless phases with subexponential relaxation, distinguished by the manner in which the gap decreases with system size. Within perturbation theory, the phase boundaries in the (α_{H},α_{L}) plane differ for weak and strong decoherence, suggesting phase transitions as a function of noise strength. We identify nonperturbative effects that prevent such phase transitions in the thermodynamic limit.

Reversible Manipulations of Triangular-Shaped Mirror Twin Boundary Loops in Ultrathin NiTe.

Nano Lett

September 2025

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, People's Republic of China.

High-density mirror twin boundaries (MTBs) embedded in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as fascinating platforms for exploring charge density wave and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid-related issues. However, the reversible manipulation of high-density MTBs in 2D TMDCs remains challenging. Herein, we report the first fabrication of high-density MTB loops in ultrathin 1T-NiTe on the SrTiO(001) substrate, by postannealing as-grown 1T-NiTe under Te-deficient conditions.

Ultra-sensitivity water pollution detection is the key to ensuring clean and safe management of water resources. However, most existing high-sensitivity water pollution detection systems rely on expensive and bulky laboratory equipment, which makes the systems non-portable. Meanwhile, most reported portable detection systems cannot meet the requirements for sensitivity and robustness in complex environments.

Monitoring ferroptosis in vivo: Iron-driven volatile oxidized lipids as breath biomarkers.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death mechanism characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in numerous human diseases and organ pathologies. However, current detection methods necessitate invasive tissue sampling to assess lipid peroxidation, making noninvasive detection of ferroptosis in human subjects extremely challenging. In this study, we employed oxidative volatolomics to comprehensively characterize the volatile oxidized lipids (VOLs) produced during ferroptosis.

In recent years Quantum Computing prominently entered in the field of Computational Chemistry, importing and transforming computational methods and ideas originally developed within other disciplines, such as Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science into algorithms able to estimate quantum properties of atoms and molecules on present and future quantum devices. An important role in this contamination process is attributed to Quantum Information techniques, having the 2-fold role of contributing to the analysis of electron correlation and entanglements and guiding the construction of wave function variational ansatzes for the Variational Quantum Eigensolver technique. This paper introduces the tool SparQ (Sparse Quantum state analysis), designed to efficiently compute fundamental quantum information theory observables on post-Hartree-Fock wave functions sparse in their definition space.

Synthesis and Optical Properties of Unsymmetric Aromatically π-Extended BODIPY.

A series of unsymmetrically substituted BODIPY dyes featuring fused benzo- or naphtho-fragments on one pyrrolic unit were synthesized from the corresponding pyrrolic precursors. The synthetic route was optimized using a modular approach based on the condensation of formylpyrroles with alkylpyrroles, enabling the identification of precursor combinations that minimize byproduct formation and improve preparative yields. The resulting benzo- and naphtho-fused BODIPYs display intense fluorescence in the red region, with emission maxima spanning 590-680 nm and fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 0.
