Manipulation of Superposed Vortex States of $\gamma$ Photon via Nonlinear Compton Scattering

Vortex $\gamma$ photons in superposition states have important applications in photonuclear, high-energy, and strong-field physics. However, their controlled generation in the $\gamma$-ray regime remains a great challenge. Here, we put forward a novel method for the generation of vortex $\gamma$ photon in superposition states, with controllable orbital angular momentum (OAM) separation $\Delta\ell^\prime$ and modal weights, via nonlinear Compton scattering driven by multifrequency circularly polarized laser fields. We develop a strong-field quantum electrodynamics (QED) framework to reveal the underlying mechanism and calculate the radiation probabilities. In our method, the superposition arises from interference between energy-degenerate multiphoton pathways carrying distinct OAM. For two-frequency fields, the OAM separation follows $\Delta\ell'=\nu\mp1$ (upper/lower sign for equal/opposite helicities), and modal weights are tunable by laser intensities, with $\nu$ the frequency ratio. Vortex $\gamma$ photons in controllable superposition states from our method have significant applications in strong-field QED and nuclear photonics.

Generation of Ultrarelativistic Vortex Leptons with Large Orbital Angular Momenta

Ultrarelativistic vortex leptons with intrinsic orbital angular momenta (OAM) have important applications in high energy particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, etc. However, unfortunately, their generation still poses a great challenge. Here, we put forward a novel method for generating ultrarelativistic vortex positrons and electrons through nonlinear Breit-Wheeler (NBW) scattering of vortex $\gamma$ photons. For the first time, a complete angular momentum-resolved scattering theory has been formulated, introducing the angular momentum of laser photons and vortex particles into the conventional NBW scattering framework. We find that vortex positron (electron) can be produced when the outgoing electron (positron) is generated along the collision axis. By unveiling the angular momentum transfer mechanism, we clarify that OAM of the $\gamma$ photon and angular momenta of multiple laser photons are entirely transferred to the generated pairs, leading to the production of ultrarelativistic vortex positrons or electrons with large OAM. Furthermore, we find that the cone opening angle and superposition state of the vortex $\gamma$ photon, distinct characteristics aside from its intrinsic OAM, can be determined via the angular distribution of created pairs in NBW processes. Our method paves the way for investigating strong-field quantum electrodynamics processes concerning the generation and detection of vortex particle beams in intense lasers.

Predicting Critical Nodes in Temporal Networks by Dynamic Graph Convolutional Networks

Many real-world systems can be expressed in temporal networks with nodes playing far different roles in structure and function and edges representing the relationships between nodes. Identifying critical nodes can help us control the spread of public opinions or epidemics, predict leading figures in academia, conduct advertisements for various commodities, and so on. However, it is rather difficult to identify critical nodes because the network structure changes over time in temporal networks. In this paper, considering the sequence topological information of temporal networks, a novel and effective learning framework based on the combination of special GCNs and RNNs is proposed to identify nodes with the best spreading ability. The effectiveness of the approach is evaluated by weighted Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model. Experimental results on four real-world temporal networks demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms both traditional and deep learning benchmark methods in terms of the Kendall $\tau$ coefficient and top $k$ hit rate.

Finding important edges in networks through local information

In transportation, communication, social and other real complex networks, some critical edges act a pivotal part in controlling the flow of information and maintaining the integrity of the structure. Due to the importance of critical edges in theoretical studies and practical applications, the identification of critical edges gradually become a hot topic in current researches. Considering the overlap of communities in the neighborhood of edges, a novel and effective metric named subgraph overlap (SO) is proposed to quantifying the significance of edges. The experimental results show that SO outperforms all benchmarks in identifying critical edges which are crucial in maintaining the integrity of the structure and functions of networks.
