Article Abstract
Backscattering losses (BSL), arising from intrinsic imperfections or unavoidable external perturbations in optical resonators, can severely impact photonic devices. In single-photon systems, robust quantum correlations against BSL remain largely unexplored despite their significance for various applications. Here, we demonstrate that single-photon blockade (SPB), a purely quantum effect, can be preserved against BSL by introducing a nanotip near a Kerr nonlinear resonator with intrinsic defects. Without the tip, BSL disrupts SPB, but tuning the tip's position restores robustness even under strong BSL. Notably, quantum correlations emerge while the classical mean photon number remains suppressed due to the interplay between resonator nonlinearity and tip-induced optical coupling. Our findings highlight nanoscale engineering as a powerful tool to protect and harness fragile quantum correlations, paving the way for robust single-photon sources and backscattering-immune quantum devices.

Strong Magnon-Phonon Coupling in the Kagome Antiferromagnets.

Magnon-phonon hybridization in ordered materials is a crucial phenomenon with significant implications for spintronics, magnonics, and quantum materials research. We present direct experimental evidence and theoretical insights into magnon-phonon coupling in Mn_{3}Ge, a kagome antiferromagnet with noncollinear spin order. Using inelastic x-ray scattering and ab initio modeling, we uncover strong hybridization between planar spin fluctuations and transverse optical phonons, resulting in a large hybridization gap of ∼2 meV.

Disorder and non-Hermitian effects together can upend how waves localize. In a 1D disordered chain, the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) can induce Anderson delocalization, defying the usual rule that disorder in low dimensions always localizes states. While weak disorder leaves the NHSE intact, strong disorder restores Anderson localization.

Hyperbolic lattices present a unique opportunity to venture beyond the conventional paradigm of crystalline many-body physics and explore correlated phenomena in negatively curved space. As a theoretical benchmark for such investigations, we extend Kitaev's spin-1/2 honeycomb model to hyperbolic lattices and exploit their non-Euclidean space-group symmetries to solve the model exactly. We elucidate the ground-state phase diagram on the {8,3} lattice and find a gapped Z_{2} spin liquid with Abelian anyons, a gapped chiral spin liquid with non-Abelian anyons and chiral edge states, and a Majorana metal whose finite low-energy density of states is dominated by non-Abelian Bloch states.

We report direct spectroscopic evidence of correlation-driven Mott states in layered Nb_{3}Cl_{8} through combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and dynamical mean-field theory. The Hubbard bands persist down to monolayer, providing the definitive evidence for the Mottness in Nb_{3}Cl_{8}. While the size of the Mott gap remains almost constant across all layers, a striking layer-parity-dependent oscillation emerges in the local density of states (LDOS) between even (n=2, 4, 6) and odd layers (n=1, 3, 5), which arises from the dimerization and correlation modulation of the obstructed atomic states, respectively.
