Summary: In this study, we investigate the steady-state multi-stability of a cavity system containing spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that the cavity photon number and atomic population exhibit multi-stable behavior, which can be tuned with system parameters. Additionally, we find the occurrence of population transitional phase for the atomic states, which can be controlled by spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman field effects.

Summary: Synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) show potential in next-generation spintronic devices due to zero net magnetization and high thermal stability, despite typically requiring an in-plane effective magnetic field. A new study demonstrates field-free switching in an all-SAF system with significantly reduced net magnetization, showing robustness up to approximately 460 K.

Summary: In this study, light-matter interactions in two-dimensional photonic systems with a synthetic magnetic field were investigated, leading to the formation of strongly coupled Landau-photon polaritons. The transitions of photonic modes from extended plane waves to circulating Landau levels had a significant impact on the resulting emitter-field dynamics, making it non-Markovian and chiral. These quasiparticles could be probed using advanced photonic lattices and may have various applications in quantum simulation of strongly interacting topological models.

Summary: In this study, a field theory was developed to reveal the physical origin and topological properties of longitudinal and transverse spins for arbitrary electromagnetic waves. The experimental results showed that the number of spin-momentum locking states coincides with the spin Chern number, providing valuable insight for constructing spin-based field theory and exploiting optical topological quasiparticle-based applications.

Summary: Field-free spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching of perpendicular synthetic antiferromagnets (p-SAFs) is achieved through the introduction of an interlayer with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMIs). The existence of the DMI interlayer is experimentally confirmed, and deterministic field-free switching is demonstrated. The proposed strategy is compatible with magnetic tunnel junction device structure and provides a method for high-performance SOT devices based on p-SAFs.

Summary: In this study, we developed a theory for the relaxation of single-electron silicon spin qubits in the presence of a magnetic field gradient. We successfully reproduced experimental measurements using our theoretical modeling, showing that the presence of a gradient field can modify the spin-mixing mechanisms and the EDSR Rabi frequency of a silicon spin qubit. The effect strongly depends on the details of the interface roughness.

Summary: We propose a spin two-axis-twisting mechanism using coherent population trapping (CPT) based atom-photon interactions. CPT occurs when the ground states are resonantly coupled to a common excited state, resulting in atoms trapped in the dark state. Close to CPT, the atoms behave as two dark-state based spins and interact with the common cavity vacuum fields. The previously non-existent interaction between them is responsible for the twisting of the ground state spin. The compatibility of twisting spin squeezing with resonant atom-light interaction makes this scheme different from previous ones. The CPT resonant unit serves as a new ingredient for quantum networks.

Summary: Spin textures, such as magnetic domain walls and skyrmions, have the potential to revolutionize electronic devices by encoding information bits. Antiferromagnetic spin textures offer a solution to material-related drawbacks in ferromagnetic films, paving the way for faster, smaller, more energy-efficient, and more robust electronics. Synthetic antiferromagnets, comprised of two or more magnetic layers separated by spacers, can have their functionality easily manipulated through different materials and interface engineering.

Summary: The study reveals that when a spinful double quantum dot is coupled to leads in a pseudospin valve configuration, the interaction and interference can lead to a rich variety of current resonances, which are modulated by system parameters. Furthermore, in the presence of ferromagnetic leads and pseudospin anisotropy, the resonances split, turn into dips, and acquire a Fano shape, indicating the presence of a synthetic spin-orbit interaction on the double quantum dot. The results are accurately captured by a set of rate equations derived for a minimal model and matched with numerical results obtained within a next to leading order approximation in the framework of a generalized master equation.

Summary: Photonic spin-orbit interactions in nanostructures have attracted significant interest in nanophotonics, offering new opportunities for enhancing light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Various phenomena such as the photonic spin-Hall effect and spin-vortex conversion have been demonstrated, highlighting the potential of PSOIs in shaping light wavefronts. The review systematically covers experimental observations and detections of PSOIs, discussing the advantages, challenges, and future perspectives in probing these interactions.

Summary: This study explores the physics of topological lattice models immersed in c-QED architectures with arbitrary coupling strength with the photon field. It proposes the use of cavity transmission as a topological marker and studies its behavior. The specific case of a fermionic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain coupled to a single-mode cavity is used to illustrate the findings, which confirm that the cavity can act as a quantum sensor for topological phases. The persistence of topological features and the calculation of entanglement entropy are also discussed.

Summary: In this study, we propose an exact analytical approach to investigate the optical response of a two-level system coupled to a microcavity. By increasing the pulse area of the excitation field, we are able to form a quantum Mollow quadruplet, which quantizes the semiclassical Mollow triplet.

Summary: A novel composite light-matter magnetometer is proposed, using a multi-component Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to two distinct electromagnetic modes of a linear cavity for magnetic field measurement. The sensitivity of this magnetometer exhibits Heisenberg-like scaling with respect to the atom number, with a calculated lower bound for sensitivity at the order of fT (root Hz(-1))(-1) -pT (root Hz)(-1) for a condensate of 10(4) atoms with coherence times on the order of several ms under state-of-the-art experimental parameters.

Summary: The proposed model is based on an open quantum-gas-cavity-QED setup to study the physics of dynamical gauge potentials. It involves atomic tunneling mediated by photon scattering to induce a dynamical gauge field and results in different types of current formation. The system can enter an unstable regime exhibiting oscillations with an induced electromotive force as expected from Faraday's law of induction.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the zero-temperature quantum phase diagram of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical cavity. The coupled atom-cavity system demonstrates key aspects of the t-J-V-W model, showcasing a rich phase diagram with multiple density and spin-ordered phases that can be controlled through pump strength and detuning. Real-time observation of emitted fields can provide strong signatures of the realized phase and facilitate the determination of phase transition lines.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the many-body phases of a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with cavity-mediated dynamic spin-orbit coupling. We identify three quantum phases with distinct atomic and photonic properties: the normal homogeneous phase, the superradiant spin-helix phase, and the superradiant supersolid spin-density-wave phase. The last phase exhibits an emergent crystal with a specific lattice structure in the atomic density distribution.
