Why does bulk boundary correspondence fail in some non-hermitian topological models

Ye Xiong · 13 Mar 2018

The bulk-boundary correspondence is crucial to topological insulators. It associates the existence of boundary states (with zero energy and possessing chiral or helical properties) with the topological numbers defined in bulk. In recent years, topology has been extended to non-hermitian systems, opening a new research area called non-hermitian topological insulator. In this paper, however, we…

Soliton molecules and asymmetric solitons in three fifth order systems via velocity resonance

Sen‐Yue Lou · 25 Mar 2020

Abstract Soliton molecules can be formed in some possible mechanisms both theoretically and experimentally. In this paper, we introduce a new mechanism, namely the velocity resonant, to find soliton molecules. Under the velocity resonance mechanism, two solitons can form a kink-antikink molecule, an asymmetric soliton, a two-peak soliton and/or a far away bounded molecule depended…

GGA-1/2 self-energy correction for accurate band structure calculations: the case of resistive switching oxides

Jun‐Hui Yuan, Qi Chen, L. R. C. Fonseca et al. · 3 Sep 2018

First-principles calculation has become an indispensable methodology in revealing the working principles of nanoscale electronic devices, but ultra-large supercells are usually required in modeling the devices with critical metal/dielectric interfaces. Traditional density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) suffers from the inaccurate band gap problem when metal oxides are present, but they serve…

Experimental indications of non-classical brain functions

Christian Kerskens, David López Pérez · 26 Sep 2022

Abstract Recent proposals in quantum gravity have suggested that unknown systems can mediate entanglement between two known quantum systems, if the mediator itself is non-classical. This approach may be applicable to the brain, where speculations about quantum operations in consciousness and cognition have a long history. Proton spins of bulk water, which most likely interfere…

Generation and verification of 27-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states in a superconducting quantum computer

Gary J. Mooney, Gregory A. L. White, Charles D. Hill et al. · 16 Aug 2021

Abstract Generating and detecting genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) of sizeable quantum states prepared on physical devices is an important benchmark for highlighting the progress of near-term quantum computers. A common approach to certify GME is to prepare a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and measure a GHZ fidelity of at least 0.5. We measure the fidelities using…
