Abstract

We describe and analyze a cellular nonlinear network based on magnetic nanostructures for image processing. The network consists of magneto-electric cells integrated onto a common ferromagnetic film - spin wave bus. The magneto-electric cell is an artificial two-phase multiferroic structure comprising piezoelectric and ferromagnetic materials. A bit of information is assigned to the cell's magnetic polarization, which can be controlled by the applied voltage. The information exchange among the cells is via the spin waves propagating in the spin wave bus. Each cell changes its state as a combined effect of two: the magneto-electric coupling and the interaction with the spin waves. The distinct feature of the network with spin wave bus is the ability to control the inter-cell communication by an external global parameter - magnetic field. The latter makes possible to realize different image processing functions on the same template without rewiring or reconfiguration. We present the results of numerical simulations illustrating image filtering, erosion, dilation, horizontal and vertical line detection, inversion and edge detection accomplished on one template by the proper choice of the strength and direction of the external magnetic field. We also present numerical assets on the major network parameters such as cell density, power dissipation and functional throughput, and compare them with the parameters projected for other nano-architectures such as CMOL-CrossNet, Quantum Dot Cellular Automata, and Quantum Dot Image Processor. Potentially, the utilization of spin waves phenomena at the nanometer scale may provide a route to low-power consuming and functional logic circuits for special task data processing.

Irrationality Measure Controls Long-Wavelength Charge Fluctuations in Quasiperiodic Systems

Quasiperiodic order is characterized by irrational frequencies whose rational approximability known as irrationality measure defines distinct arithmetic classes. We establish that this arithmetic classification has direct physical consequences for long-wavelength charge fluctuations. In translation-covariant quasiperiodic systems, the infrared scaling of charge fluctuation is governed by the interplay between the irrationality exponent of irrational frequency and the large-harmonic decay of the hull charge profile: the latter determines the available charge weight, while the former controls how efficiently that weight is transferred to the infrared. Consequently, all algebraic irrational frequencies share the same arithmetic scaling, whereas exceptionally well-approximable transcendental frequencies can exhibit strongly enhanced infrared fluctuation scaling. We further prove that occupied states separated from the Fermi level by a gap stable throughout the hull contribute only an analytic infrared background, leaving the nontrivial scaling to near-Fermi states. Our results extend to general translation-covariant multi-frequency quasiperiodic systems.

Curvature-Induced Geometric Universality in Non-Hermitian Anderson Transitions

In Euclidean space, universality classes of Anderson transitions are primarily determined by symmetry and spatial dimensionality. Here, we present evidence for a geometry-controlled universality class of non-Hermitian Anderson transitions on hyperbolic-like lattices. In this setting, critical behavior is influenced by the large-scale hyperbolic geometry, characterized by negative curvature, exponential volume growth, and a non-Euclidean notion of spatial scaling. Finite-size scaling of participation ratios across several distinct \( \{p,q\} \) tilings reveals one-parameter scaling collapses with a common critical exponent \( \nu\simeq1 \) within numerical accuracy. A complementary phenomenological coarse-grained Landau-Ginzburg analysis shows how exponential correlation-volume growth suppresses critical fluctuations, offering a rationale for the observed mean-field-like scaling. Our results suggest that spatial curvature can act as an additional organizing principle for Anderson-transition universality beyond the conventional dimensionality- and symmetry-based classification.

Finite-rank multiplicative perturbations of rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrices

We study finite-rank multiplicative deformations of rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrices. More precisely, we consider models of the form $\mathbf{A}(\mathbf{I}+\mathbf{T})$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is a large rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrix, $\mathbf{T}$ is a finite-rank normal perturbation, and $\mathbf{I}$ denotes the identity matrix. We characterize the emergence of outlier eigenvalues, their fluctuations, and the associated eigenvector overlaps. Our results provide a multiplicative non-Hermitian counterpart to the classical Baik--Ben Arous--P\'ech\'e framework.
