Abstract summary: We focus here on the spatial heterogeneity of the motion of charge density wave (CDW) at nanoscale in the archetypal case of La$_2-x$Sr$_x$NiO$_4+y$ perovskite at low temperature. We report compelling evidence that the unconventional increasing motion of CDW at T 50K is related with the decreasing of its correlation length using resonant soft X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) The key result of this work is the direct visualization of nanoscale spatial inhomogeneity of CDW relaxation dynamics by scanning micro X-ray diffraction

Abstract: While stripe phases with broken rotational symmetry of charge density appear in many complex correlated systems, the heterogeneity of spatial ordering and dynamics remains elusive. This missing info is at the heart of understanding the structure and function relation in quantum complex materials. We focus here on the spatial heterogeneity of the motion of charge density wave (CDW) at nanoscale in the archetypal case of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_{4+y}$ perovskite at low temperature. We report compelling evidence that the unconventional increasing motion of CDW at T < 50K is related with the decreasing of its correlation length using resonant soft X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS). The key result of this work is the direct visualization of nanoscale spatial inhomogeneity of CDW relaxation dynamics by scanning micro X-ray diffraction (SmXRD) showing a nanoscale landscape of percolating short range dynamic CDW puddles competing with large quasi-static CDW puddles giving rise to a novel form of nanoscale phase separation of the incommensurate stripes order landscape.

Diamond nanocrystals can harbor spin qubit sensors capable of probing the physical properties of biological systems with nanoscale spatial resolution. In this work, we significantly reduce magnetic surface noise by engineering core-shell structures. The observed results shed light on the underlying mechanisms governing spin dephasing in diamond nanocrystals.

Slow semiclassical dynamics of a two-dimensional Hubbard model in disorder-free potentials [77.34726150561087]
We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

Nonequilibrium phases of ultracold bosons with cavity-induced dynamic gauge fields [0.0]
We study nonequilibrium dynamical phases appearing in a two-leg bosonic lattice model with leg-dependent, dynamical complex tunnelings mediated by two-photon Raman processes. Notably, the phase diagram features a plethora of nonequilibrium dynamical phases including limit-cycle and chaotic phases. In the end, we relate regular periodic dynamics (i.e., limit-cycle phases) of the system to time crystals.

Probing dynamics of a two-dimensional dipolar spin ensemble using single qubit sensor [62.997667081978825]
We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

Quantum emitters interacting with photonic band-gap materials lead to the appearance of qubit-photon bound states. We study the features of the qubit-photon bound states when the emitters couple to the bulk modes in the different phases. We consider the coupling of emitters to the edge modes appearing in the different topological phases.

Scheme operates with laser and cavity fields detuned from the atomic transition by much more than the excited-state hyperfine splitting. This enables reduction of the dynamics to that of a simple, cavity-damped Tavis-Cummings model with the collective spin determined by the total angular momentum of the ground hyperfine level.
