[S. Omkar, Y.S. Teo and H. Jeong] Resource-Efficient Topological Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation ... Aug 10, 2020 l Hit 1002

We propose an all-linear-optical scheme to ballistically generate a cluster state for measurement-based topological fault-tolerant quantum computation using hybrid photonic qubits entangled in a continuous-discrete domain. Availability of near-deterministic Bell-state measurements on hybrid qubits is exploited for this...

Strain engineering of the magnetic multipole moments and anomalous Hall effect in pyrochlore iridate... Jul 22, 2020 l Hit 1501

The recent observation of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) without notable magnetization in antiferromagnets has suggested that ferromagnetic ordering is not a necessary condition. Thus, recent theoretical studies have proposed that higher-rank magnetic multipoles formed by clusters of spins (cluster multipoles) can gen...

Coherent many-body exciton in van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS3 Jul 22, 2020 l Hit 950

Excitons are the composite particles of an electron-hole pair and rarely observed for many-body states with strong correlation. Here we show that a rare spin-orbital entangled exciton state appears below TN=150 K in NiPS3, an antiferromagnetic (AFM) van der Waals (vdW) material. It arises intrinsically from the archety...

Momentum-dependent magnon lifetime in the metallic non-collinear triangular antiferromagnet CrB2 Jul 9, 2020 l Hit 2312

Noncollinear magnetic order arises for various reasons in several magnetic systems and exhibits interesting spin dynamics. Despite its ubiquitous presence, little is known of how magnons, otherwise stable quasiparticles, decay in these systems, particularly in metallic magnets. Using inelastic neutron scattering, we ex...

[Kok Chuan Tan, Seongjeon Choi, and Hyunseok Jeong] Negativity of Quasiprobability Distributions as ... Mar 26, 2020 l Hit 1504

We demonstrate that the negative volume of any s-parametrized quasiprobability, including the Glauber-Sudashan P-function, can be consistently defined and forms a continuous hierarchy of nonclassicality measures that are linear optical monotones. These measures belong to an operational resource theory of nonclassicalit...

[Sungjoon Park,Prof. Bohm-Jung Yang] Thermal Hall Effect, Spin Nernst Effect, and Spin Density Induc... Mar 13, 2020 l Hit 1685

We theoretically study the intrinsic thermal Hall and spin Nernst effect in collinear ferrimagnets on a honeycomb lattice with broken inversion symmetry. The broken inversion symmetry allows in-plane Dzyaloshinskii−Moriya interaction between the nearest neighbors, which does not affect the linear spin wave theory...

[KPS Award Winner] Junyeong Ahn (Ph.D. Candidate) received the Young Physicist Prize! Oct 29, 2019 l Hit 2206

Junyeong Ahn, a Ph.D Candidate at Prof. Bohm-Jung Yang's group, won the Young Physicist Prize at the KPS autumm meeting held at Gwangju, Kim Dae Joong convention center for Oct.23-25, 2019. The Prize is awarded for Junyeong's outstanding achievement about the band topology of wave functions in space-time inversi...

Kibble-Zurek universality in a strongly interacting Fermi superfluid The Kibble-Zurek mechanism describes the spontaneous formation of topological defects in a system crossing a continuous phase transition. Its central premise is the notion of universality, which states that the characteristic scaling exponent describi...

In the past decade, intensive studies on monolayer MoS2-based phototransistors have been carried out to achieve further enhanced optoelectronic characteristics. However, the intrinsic optoelectronic characteristics of monolayer MoS2 have still not been explored until now because of unintended interferences, such as mul...

The research paper “Taming of random lasers” by Prof. Heonsu Jeon’s group, published online in the last April, now appears in the cover of the July 2019 issue of Nature Photonics, along with the following introductory remarks: Random lasers are notorious for their unpredictability and uncontrollabilit...
