• Abstract: The discovery of the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in 1980 marked a turning point in condensed matter physics: given appropriate experimental conditions, the Hall conductivity {\sigma}_xy of a two-dimensional (2D) electron system is exactly quantized. But what happens to the QHE in three dimensions (3D)? Experiments over the past 40 years showed that some of the remarkable physics of the QHE, in particular plateau-like Hall conductivities {\sigma}_xy accompanied by minima in the longitudinal resistivity \r{ho}_xx, can also be found in 3D materials. However, since typically \r{ho}_xx remains finite and a quantitative relation between {\sigma}_xy and the conductance quantum e^2/h could not be established, the role of quantum Hall physics in 3D remains unsettled. Following a recent series of exciting experiments, the QHE in 3D has now returned to the centre stage. Here, we summarize the leap in understanding of 3D matter in magnetic fields emerging from these experiments.

• Three-dimensional quantum anomalous Hall effect in Weyl semimetals [24.511994395713693]
  The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is a quantum phenomenon in which a two-dimensional system exhibits a quantized Hall resistance $h/e2$ in the absence of magnetic field. In this work, we extend this novel phase to three dimensions and thus propose a three-dimensional QAHE exhibiting richer and more versatile transport behaviors. This three-dimensional QAHE not only fill the gap in the Hall effect family but also holds significant potentials in device applications such as in-memory computing.

• Combinatorial quantum gravity and emergent 3D quantum behaviour [0.0]
  We review quantum gravity, an approach which combines Einstein's idea of dynamical geometry with Wheeler's "it from bit" hypothesis. In the 2D case, the geometric phase describes negative-curvature surfaces with two inversely related scales, an ultraviolet (UV) Planck length and an infrared (IR) radius of curvature. We obtain curved trajectories around massive particles also in 3D, representing the large-scale gravity interactions.

  We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory. It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame. The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system. The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

  Quantum correlations between distant particles remain enigmatic since the birth of quantum mechanics. We predict a novel kind of bound quantum state in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box. Such states could be realized in the waveguide quantum electrodynamics platform.

  Noncommuting charges have emerged as a subfield at the intersection of quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. We simulate a Heisenberg evolution using laser-induced entangling interactions and collective spin rotations. We find that small subsystems equilibrate to near a recently predicted non-Abelian thermal state.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  The one-dimensional (1D) and three-dimensional (3D) problems are considered. It is shown that the sum of the contributions from all quantum corrections strictly vanishes, when a quantum particle interacts with some specific medium. The momenta of quantum particles in these media and the wave functions of stationary states are determined.

• (Quasi-)Quantization of the electrical, thermal, and thermoelectrical conductivities in two and three dimensions [2.6429854587819075]
  We investigate the Hall, thermal Hall, and Nernst effects analytically and numerically in 2D and 3D. We find quasi-quantized values for the Hall and thermal Hall conductances in two dimensions, which are the related 2D quanta scaled by a characteristic length. The Nernst conductivity is not generally quantized. Instead, an integration in energy is required to obtain a universally (quasi-)quantized thermoelectric quantity.
