The planar microcavity structure based on non-absorbing Al0.2Ga0.8As/Al0.9Ga0.1As mirrors was fully fabricated by molecular-beam epitaxy. Usage of In0.63Ga0.37As quantum dots reveals room temperature emission near 1110 nm with emission bandwidth of about 80 meV. The determined spectral mismatch between peak position of gain region and reflectivity spectrum dip was about 115 meV at 290 K. The shift of the reflectance dip position along the whole wafer surface was less than 15 meV. The determined by defect inspection root mean square surface roughness was less than 1.3 nm for studied 8 μm thick planar microcavity structure.

We examine plasma excitations with linear dispersion in a system of superconducting electrons in thin
NbN disks. Using frequency-domain terahertz spectroscopy, we study the evolution of plasmons up to critical
temperature Tc. The observed excitations tend to shift to the lower frequencies while temperature is increasing
and the spectral features vanish at T > Tc. We study the ...

We demonstrate a thermo-optically tunable microlaser based on an InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) active region employing a deformed limaçon-shaped cavity. The asymmetric geometry effectively lifts the degeneracy of high-Q whispering-gallery modes, enabling single-mode lasing. A side-mode suppression ratio exceeds 25 dB over a wide current range. Under continuous-wave electrical pumping, the device achieves a peak output power ...

Exact theories of electrolyte structure must satisfy the nonlocal constraints imposed by electrostatic screening, yet these constraints are most commonly formulated only for homogeneous bulk systems and at the level of two-point correlations. Here, we develop a unified field-theoretic framework that extends them to general inhomogeneous ionic fluids and nonlinear charge correlations. Using a standard ...

We report a theoretical study of the ac response of superconducting quantum metamaterials (SQMs), i.e., an array of qubits (two-level systems) embedded in a low-dissipative resonator. By making use of a particular example of a SQM, namely the array of charge qubits capacitively coupled to the resonator, we obtain a second-order phase transition between an ...

Identifying the microscopic processes limiting conductivity is essential for understanding correlated quantum materials. In twisted bilayer graphene, metallic resistivity follows ρ ~ Tα with widely varying α, fueling competing interpretations from phonon-limited transport and umklapp scattering to strange metallicity and heavy-fermion renormalization. Here, we use terahertz excitation to selectively heat electrons while keeping the lattice cold, separating ...

The incompressible three-dimensional Euler equations develop very thin pancake-like regions of exponen tially increasing vorticity. The characteristic thickness of such regions decreases exponentially with time, while the other two dimensions do not change considerably, making the flow near each pancake strongly anisotropic. The pancakes emerge in increasing number with time, which may enhance the anisotropy ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

Water confined in heterogeneous clay–quartz pores: Structure and dynamics from atomistic simulations
Glushak A., Tararushkin E., Smirnov G., Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects 2027 Vol. 752 Article 141756
The molecular-scale behavior of water in heterogeneous clay–quartz systems is critical for understanding cementation processes in natural soils and compacted bentonite, which is crucial for oil recovery and nuclear waste disposal barriers construction. Here we investigate how heterogeneity of mixed Na-montmorillonite and α-quartz surfaces affect water structure and dynamics in nanopores of 2.5 to 60 Å ...

We consider the remote state restoring and perfect transfer of the zero-order coherence matrix (PTZ) in a spin system governed by the XXZ-Hamiltonian conserving the excitation number. The restoring tool is represented by several nonzero Larmor frequencies in the Hamiltonian. To simplify the analysis we use two approximating models including either step-wise or pulse-type time-dependence ...

We consider the state-restoring protocol based on the controlled interaction of a linear chain with environment through incoherent control by the specially adjusted step-wise time-dependent Lindblad operators. We show that the best restoring result (maximal scale factors in the restored state) corresponds to the symmetrical Lindblad equation. (0, 1)-excitation dynamics is considered numerically, and restoring ...

The distribution of entanglement is a crucial task for quantum communication towards realizing a globe-spanning quantum internet. Recently, a protocol for deterministic long-distance distribution of macroscopic entanglement over a network of ensembles of qubits was introduced (Pyrkov et al., 2025). It was shown that this protocol allows for the propagation of macroscopic amounts of entanglement ...

Distributing long-distance entanglement is a fundamental goal that is necessary for a variety of tasks such as quantum communication, distributed quantum computing, and quantum metrology. Currently quantum repeater schemes typically aim to distribute one ebit at a time, the equivalent of one Bell pair's worth of entanglement. Here, a scheme is presented to distribute a ...

Unsupervised machine learning is one of the main techniques employed in artificial intelligence. We introduce an algorithm for quantum-assisted unsupervised data clustering using the self-organizing feature map, a type of artificial neural network.
