Summary: This work theoretically analyzes the influence of bright and dark reservoir populations on the sound velocity of incoherently driven polaritons. The contribution of dark excitons is found to significantly lower the sound velocity and deviate it from the square-root-like behavior.

Summary: The study investigates the coupling phenomenon between the motional and the polarization degrees of freedom in nonparaxial polarized light beams propagating in a bulk nonlinear Kerr medium, realizing a spin-orbit-coupled mixture of fluids of light. An anisotropic Bogoliubov spectrum with both low-frequency gapless branches and high-frequency gapped ones is discovered. Experimental protocols are proposed to study the excitation mechanisms of these modes, highlighting a phenomenon of hybridization between density and spin modes unique to spin-orbit coupling.

Summary: Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials have unique properties and promising applications in optoelectronic devices. By vertically stacking TMD materials, researchers can control the electronic and optical properties. The integration of TMD heterostructures in planar microcavities is important for controlling light-matter interactions and forming robust polaritons. The authors demonstrate the systematic control of coupling strength by embedding multiple WS2 monolayers in a planar microcavity and observe the presence of long-living dark excitations.

Summary: Thermodynamic properties of an interacting system of bosons at finite temperatures and zero chemical potential were studied within the Skyrme-like mean-field model, focusing on the interplay between attractive and repulsive interactions. Various modifications in thermodynamic properties were found as the strength of attractive forces increased, leading to different types of first order phase transitions. While some of these transitions also exist in the Boltzmann approximation, the effects of Bose statistics introduce significant additional changes in the thermodynamic quantities due to the possibility of Bose-Einstein condensation.

Summary: The numerical method and PYTHON package CHiMES introduces a second order extension of classical field approach to accurately simulate quantum systems initially well approximated by mean field theory. The success of this method depends on two conditions: the quantum system must be well described by classical theory initially, and the growth of the higher order moments must be hierarchical.

Summary: The study demonstrates a strong light-matter coupling regime between microcavity photons and excitons in an atomically thin WSe2. Coherence buildup is accompanied by a threshold-like behavior in the emitted light intensity, characteristic of a polariton laser effect. Valley physics is also evident in the manipulation of polaritons via the valley-Zeeman effect in the presence of an external magnetic field.

Summary: Recent experiments in exciton-polariton systems have provided precise measurements of the polariton-polariton interaction constant, crucial for controlling the nonlinear dynamics of polariton condensates. By utilizing a new microscopic description involving electrons, holes, and photons, researchers performed accurate calculations of the interaction constants, showing varying results under different light-matter coupling strengths.

Summary: Lasers and Bose-Einstein condensates exhibit macroscopic quantum coherence in different ways, with lasers having a defined global phase and fluctuating photon numbers, while BECs have a conserved number of particles and an undefined global phase. Researchers have created a unified framework connecting these two states using gate-based quantum circuits. By measuring the total number of particles without destroying coherence, they found that particle conservation enhances long-range phase coherence.

Summary: This paper reports the study of the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) in single crystalline Pb2V3O9 and finds a strong correlation between the temperature-dependent critical magnetic fields and the Bose-Einstein condensation phase of the quantum magnet Pb2V3O9. This shows the potential of using spin current as a probe to study the spin correlation and phase transition properties in quantum magnets.

Summary: Room-temperature exciton polaritons in a monolayer WS2 exhibit narrow linewidth and enhanced coherence, capable of propagating over tens of micrometers with partial coherence and displaying ballistic transport characteristics. When interacting with cavity photons in optical microcavities, excitons in TMDCs can form exciton polaritons with inherited useful properties.

Summary: We conducted a high-field study on the S = 2 quantum magnet Ba2FeSi2O7, which has a strongly anisotropic easy-plane square lattice. By observing the spin level crossing and magnetic field-induced spin level crossing, we studied the interplay between spin level crossings and antiferromagnetic order in this high-spin antiferromagnetic system. We determined the phase boundaries and spin level crossings using various measurements and calculations, and discovered the multiferroic behavior of magnetically induced electric polarization.

Summary: The study focused on the effect of pseudomagnetic field on a polariton condensate in a ring-shaped microcavity, resulting in a stable four-leaf pattern. The pattern was found to originate from the interaction of cavity potential, energy relaxation, and TE-TM splitting. Comparisons with the dissipative one-dimensional spinor Gross-Pitaevskii equation with the TE-TM splitting energy showed good qualitative agreement.

Summary: In this study, the ferromagnetic quantum Heisenberg model in one dimension was considered for spins greater than or equal to 1/2. Upper and lower bounds on the free energy were provided, showing that at low temperatures it approaches the free energy of an ideal Bose gas of magnons as predicted by the spin-wave approximation. The trial state used for the upper bound also yielded a similar estimate in two spatial dimensions, believed to be accurate at low temperatures.

Summary: The study focuses on quantum spins with S ≥ 1 and two-body interactions with O (2S + 1) symmetry in a one-dimensional system. A rigorous proof of dimerization within an open region of the phase diagram for sufficiently large S is presented, along with the proof of the existence of a gap for excitations.

Summary: The study investigates the Frohlich polaron model on a three-dimensional torus, providing a proof of the second-order quantum corrections to its ground-state energy in the strong-coupling limit. The presence of translational symmetry (and its breakdown in the Pekar approximation) makes the analysis significantly more challenging than in previous studies in confined cases.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the characteristics of a class of polaron-type Hamiltonians under the strong-coupling limit. The results show that the ground state energy of the system is bounded by the total momentum, in agreement with the semiclassical approximation. Additionally, we demonstrate that the effective mass diverges in the strong coupling limit for all models in all spatial dimensions. Moreover, for certain models with a phonon dispersion relation that grows at least linearly with momentum, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the effective mass quotient, which agrees with the semiclassical Landau-Pekar formula and provides a rigorous confirmation of its validity.

Summary: We study the interaction between two quantum particles forming a bound state in d-dimensional free space. The particles are constrained in k directions and subject to Neumann boundary conditions. We prove that the ground state energy decreases strictly as k increases, indicating that the particles tend to stick to the corner where all boundary planes intersect. Additionally, we show that the resulting Hamiltonian, after removing the free part of the kinetic energy, has only a finite number of eigenvalues below the essential spectrum.

Summary: We study the energy-momentum relation of a large polaron described by the Frohlich Hamiltonian. By using a suitable family of trial states, we derive an optimal parabolic upper bound for the energy-momentum relation in the limit of strong coupling. This upper bound consists of a momentum independent term matching the predicted two-term expansion of the ground state energy for the strongly coupled polaron at rest, and a term quadratic in momentum with a coefficient given by the inverse of twice the classical effective mass introduced by Landau and Pekar.

Summary: We quantitatively characterize weakly first-order thermal phase transitions in three-dimensional spin-one quantum magnets out of planar spin-nematic states using Poisson-Dirichlet distributions (PDs) and large-scale quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The thermal melting of the nematic state is identified to be a weakly first-order transition based on thermal properties and the distribution of the nematic order parameter, contrary to previous claims. Exact results for the order parameter distribution and Binder cumulants at the discontinuous melting transition are obtained through PD calculations. Our findings establish the thermal melting of planar spin-nematic states as a generic platform for quantitative approaches to weakly first-order phase transitions in quantum systems with a continuous SU(2) internal symmetry.
