Twisted Optical Funfair for Atoms
Intense optical vortices work together to fling neutral atoms with accelerations trillions of times that of the earth.
Novel Advances in the Quantum Gravity Theory
Scientists have shown that the Landau Lifshitz gravitational energy momentum pseudo-tensor can be generalized to metric theories of gravity, where the terms of any order in the derivatives of the metric are present.

Classical and Quantum Systems: Transport Due to Rare Events
Possible mechanisms for energy transfer based on ‘rare’ or ‘non-perturbative’ effects, in physical systems that present a many-body localized phenomenology are reviewed.
Monolayer PbS: A Novel Topological Dual-Valley Material
A PbS monolayer is demonstrated to be a novel platform for topological, valleytronic, and optical phenomena.
Models for a Multimode Bosonic Tunneling Junction
Decoherence plays an important role in quantum mechanics. In general, uncontrolled interaction of a quantum system with its environment will cause it to lose its quantum properties. Controlled decoherence or dissipation, on the other hand, can be used to engineer...
