Three-Photon and Hybrid Coherent-Fock Interference in a Two-Phase Six-Port Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

We present a unified theoretical analysis of three-photon quantum interference in a Six-Port Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (6p-MZI) constructed from two cascaded tritters, with two independent phase modulators placed between the tritter arms. We analytically derive the transfer matrix of the 6p-MZI and show how they organize into three symmetry classes, governed by the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) structure of the tritter and the conjugate relations. Furthermore, we analyze two input regimes: First, three indistinguishable single photons are injected into the tritter, and the output probability distributions $P_{[111]}$, $P_{[\{300\}]}$, and $P_{[\{210\}]}$ are derived as functions of the two relative phases $(\phi_1, \phi_2)$. At $\phi_2 = 0$, the single-phase limit is recovered, which confirms 100\% visibility of the even-distribution fringe. Second, a hybrid coherent-Fock input $|\alpha\rangle_1|\alpha\rangle_2|1\rangle_3$ is analyzed via the density matrix formalism. The average photon number at each output port exhibits amplitude-dependent phase shifts. Our results establish the 6p-MZI as a programmable platform for tripartite quantum state manipulation and coherent amplitude sensing.

Quantum Information Analysis in a q-Deformed Deng-Fan Model

We introduce a $q$-deformed Deng-Fan potential ($q$DFP) model that enables controlled modulation of short-range repulsion and long-range attraction while preserving the equilibrium configuration. The model is solved exactly within the framework of the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation, yielding closed-form expressions for the energy eigenvalues and wave functions in terms of hypergeometric functions. We show that the deformation parameter $q$ induces non-uniform spectral shifts and a redistribution of bound states. In particular, for $q<1$, the system exhibits spectral compression and enhanced spatial localization. In addition, we investigate the system from an information-theoretic perspective using Shannon entropy, Fisher information, and Fisher--Shannon complexity measures in both position and momentum spaces. The results reveal that the deformation parameter governs the redistribution of quantum information, establishing a direct connection between spatial confinement and momentum delocalization in accordance with the Bia{\l}ynicki-Birula and Mycielski entropic uncertainty principle. Stronger deformation pushes the quantum state further from the minimum-uncertainty configuration, increasing the entropic excess above the BBM bound and reducing the information content about complementary observables, even as position-space localization sharpens. The analysis of entropic and Fisher information densities further shows how the deformation reshapes both the local information content and the structural complexity of the quantum states. We show that in the limit $q\to 1$, the $q$DFP model is reduced to the standard Deng-Fan potential.

Controllable diatomic molecular quantum thermodynamic machines

We present quantum heat machines using a diatomic molecule modelled by a $q$-deformed potential as a working medium. We analyze the effect of the deformation parameter and other potential parameters on the work output and efficiency of the quantum Otto and quantum Carnot heat cycles. Furthermore, we derive the analytical expressions of work and efficiency as a function of these parameters. Interestingly, our system operates as a quantum heat engine across the range of parameters considered. In addition, the efficiency of the quantum Otto heat engine is seen to be tunable by the deformation parameter. Our findings provide useful insight for understanding the impact of anharmonicity on the design of quantum thermal machines.

Driven Magnon-Photon System as a Tunable Quantum Heat Rectifier

Controlling heat flow at the quantum level is a key challenge for next-generation quantum technologies, including thermal management and quantum information processing. Here, we investigate quantum heat transport in an asymmetrically driven hybrid magnon-photon system in contact with two thermal baths at different temperatures. We demonstrate that external driving of the magnonic subsystem provides a versatile control knob for tailoring steady-state heat currents and their asymmetry. We identify the mechanisms governing thermal rectification in the hybrid system: we find that strong rectification emerges in the regime of weak magnon-photon hybridization combined with intense magnon driving. In this regime, the external drive enables control over both the magnitude and direction of the heat current, allowing the rectification parameter to be tuned across its entire physically accessible range.

Quantum information entropy of heavy mesons in the presence of a point-like defect

Using Schr\"{o}dinger's formalism, we investigate the quantum eigenstates of the heavy mesons trapped by a point-like defect and by Cornell's potential. One implements this defect to the model considering a spherical metric profile coupled to it. Furthermore, the Nikiforov-Uvarov method is applied to theory to study the quantum eigenstates of the heavy mesons. To calculate the quantum information entropy (QIE), one considers the wave functions that describe the charmonium and bottomonium states. To explore the QIE, we use the well-known Shannon's entropy formulated at the position and reciprocal space. The analysis of the QIE gives us relevant information about how the quantum information change with the variation of the point-like defect. Consequently, considering the Bialynicki-Birula and Mycielski (BBM) relation, we show how this defect influences the quarkonium position and momentum uncertainty measures.

Quantum information entropy of a particle trapped by the Aharonov-Bohm-type effect

In this research article, we use the Shannon's formalism to investigate the quantum information entropy of a particle trapped by the Aharonov-Bohm-type effect. For quantum information study, it is necessary to investigate the eigenstates of the quantum system, i. e., the wave functions and energies of the quantum states. We assumed that the particle is in principle, confined in a cylindrical box in the presence of an Aharonov-Bohm-type effect due to dislocation defect. Analysis of the quantum information entropy, reveals that the dislocation influences the eigenstates and, consequently, the quantum information of the system.

Quantum information of the Aharanov-Bohm ring with Yukawa interaction in the presence of disclination

We investigate the quantum information by a theoretical measurement approach of an Aharanov-Bohm (AB) ring with Yukawa interaction in curved space with disclination. It obtained the so-called Shannon entropy, through the eigenfunctions of the system. The quantum states considered come from a Schroedinger theory with the AB field in the background of curved space. With this entropy, it can explore the quantum information at the position space and reciprocal space. Furthermore, we discussed how the magnetic field, the AB flux, and the topological defect influence the quantum states and the information entropy.

Optimization of the JUNO liquid scintillator composition using a Daya Bay antineutrino detector

To maximize the light yield of the liquid scintillator (LS) for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 t LS sample was produced in a pilot plant at Daya Bay. The optical properties of the new LS in various compositions were studied by replacing the gadolinium-loaded LS in one antineutrino detector. The concentrations of the fluor, PPO, and the wavelength shifter, bis-MSB, were increased in 12 steps from 0.5 g/L and <0.01 mg/L to 4 g/L and 13 mg/L, respectively. The numbers of total detected photoelectrons suggest that, with the optically purified solvent, the bis-MSB concentration does not need to be more than 4 mg/L. To bridge the one order of magnitude in the detector size difference between Daya Bay and JUNO, the Daya Bay data were used to tune the parameters of a newly developed optical model. Then, the model and tuned parameters were used in the JUNO simulation. This enabled to determine the optimal composition for the JUNO LS: purified solvent LAB with 2.5 g/L PPO, and 1 to 4 mg/L bis-MSB.

RheoSpeckle: a new tool to investigate local flow and microscopic dynamics of soft matter under shear

To investigate the interplay between microscopic dynamics and macroscopic rheology in soft matter, we couple a stress-controlled-rheometer equipped with a Couette cell to a light scattering setup in the imaging geometry, which allows us to measure both the deformation field and the microscopic dynamics. To validate our setup, we test two model systems. For an elastic solid sample, we recover the expected deformation field within 1 micron. For a pure viscous fluid seeded with tracer particles, we measure the velocity profile and the dynamics of the tracers, both during shear and at rest. The velocity profile is acquired over a gap of 5 mm with a temporal and spatial resolution of 1 s and 100 microns, respectively. At rest, the tracer dynamics have the expected diffusive behavior. Under shear, the microscopic dynamics corrected for the average drift due to solid rotation scale with the local shear rate, demonstrating that our setup captures correctly the relative motion of the tracers due to the affine deformation.

Polymer Assisted Synthesis of FeNi Nanoparticles

Polymer assisted spherical FeNi nanoparticles were prepared via wet chemical method using hydrazine as a reducing agent and polymers (PVP and PEG) as reducing and stabilizing agent. Structural studies performed using XRD and TEM shows uniform dispersion of fine FeNi nanocrystallites in nanocomposite particles. The size and thermal stability of FeNi nanoparticles prepared under same reaction condition was found to be dependent on the type and the molecular weight of the polymer used. However, the magnetic properties of nanocomposite particles were not influenced by the polymers. The study highlights subtle differences in using polymers during the synthesis of alloyed nanocomposite particles.
