Global structure and holonomy of conserved resolutions in the cylindrical Dirac doublet

Cylindrical Dirac modes underlie constructions in rotating QCD matter, boost-invariant Dirac-field quantization in heavy-ion physics, and high-energy twisted-particle scattering. The corresponding complete spinor frames can be regarded as alternative bases, but their equivalence does not determine the global behavior of eigenlines selected by conserved observables. Within the positive-energy doublet of the free massive Dirac Hamiltonian, we compare three conserved resolutions: $K$, which couples spin to transverse momentum; $K_m$, a mass-dependent operator derived from the transverse Dirac Hamiltonian; and helicity. On the common regular domain away from the momentum axis, explicit smooth, single-valued $SU(2)$ transformations relate all three splittings. Although globally $SU(2)$-equivalent on this common domain, they exhibit three distinct global extension behaviors. The $K$ projectors have azimuth-dependent polar limits and do not extend continuously to the axis. For nonzero mass, the $K_m$ projectors extend smoothly over the enclosed momentum ball and define Chern-trivial eigenlines. The helicity projectors are smooth on every nonzero momentum sphere, but their eigenlines carry opposite unit Chern numbers and cannot extend through the enclosed origin. The parent positive-energy Dirac connection Abelianizes exactly in the $K$ eigenlines on fixed-azimuth meridians, whereas its full three-dimensional curvature has noncommuting components. We obtain the azimuthal Wilson loop in closed form and derive the exact conversion probability between the two $K$ branches under purely geometric positive-energy transport.

Unified Exact Cylindrical Dirac Modes and Symmetry-Resolved Quantum Geometry

Exact cylindrical solutions of the free Dirac equation provide natural single-particle modes for a broad class of axially symmetric relativistic fermion systems, including electron vortices, twisted-particle scattering, rotating matter, and cylindrical field quantization, but are commonly formulated in different internal bases. We derive the general regular positive-energy cylindrical solution at fixed energy, transverse and longitudinal momenta, and total angular momentum, and show how the commonly used spin-polarized, separation, helicity, and transverse-helicity modes are embedded in the resulting two-dimensional solution space. A conserved transverse operator resolves the residual doublet into two symmetry-defined branches. Their parameter-dependent eigenspaces admit a gauge-invariant quantum-geometric characterization, with opposite Berry curvatures, a common quantum metric, and saturation of the two-level metric--curvature relation. We further derive symmetry constraints on branch conversion and the corresponding reduced two-state dynamics. The resulting framework connects mode classification, symmetry resolution, quantum geometry, and dynamics across distinct cylindrical Dirac settings.

Nonthermal Dynamics and Scar-Like Spectral Structures in a High-Spin Fermi Gas

We investigate nonequilibrium dynamics and weak ergodicity breaking in a harmonically trapped spin-$3/2$ Fermi gas by using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equation. The Shannon entropy remains bounded and oscillatory throughout the evolution, indicating restricted and nonuniform exploration of Hilbert space rather than immediate thermalization. The fidelity exhibits pronounced, nearly periodic revivals whose period is largely insensitive to particle number and interaction strength, while the revival amplitude gradually decreases with increasing system size and interaction strength. The Fourier spectrum of the fidelity reveals a set of sharp and approximately equally spaced peaks. By projecting the time-evolved state onto the instantaneous eigenbasis of the self-consistent mean-field Hamiltonian, we identify a sparse and spectrally stable manifold that forms a quasi-regular energy ladder, with spacing comparable to the dominant quasienergy interval extracted from the fidelity spectrum. These results indicate that the long-lived coherent oscillations originate from collective phase interference associated with a quasi-regular spectral structure embedded in the many-body continuum, rather than from a conventional eigenstate-dominated scar mechanism.

Perfect transmission of a Dirac particle in one-dimension double square barrier

Dirac particles can undergo perfect transmission through a sufficiently high potential barrier in the Klein zone. Although the perfect Klein tunneling (often referred to as the Klein paradox) is similar to the non-relativistic resonant transmission which occurs only when the kinetic energy exceeds the barrier, the underlying mechanism is believed to be fundamentally distinct. In this work, we show that for the relativistic double-barrier model the perfect-transmission curve can pass continuously from the above-barrier zone to the Klein zone. Additionally, in the Klein zone, perfect transmission occurs even for subcritical barrier heights, supported by both bound-state analysis and wave-packet dynamics. These findings suggest a connection between perfect Klein tunneling and resonant transmission, and provide new insights into the physical nature of the Klein paradox.

Vortex-Enhanced Zitterbewegung in Relativistic Electron Wave Packets

Zitterbewegung (ZBW), the trembling motion predicted by the Dirac equation, has long remained unobservable in free electrons due to its sub-Compton scale. We elaborately construct a relativistic vortex electron wave packet as a coherent superposition of both positive- and negative-energy Dirac states and derive their space-time dynamics. Our analysis demonstrates that introducing orbital angular momentum provides a mechanism for amplifying the ZBW amplitude far beyond that of conventional Gaussian packets, while maintaining coherence. The resulting relativistic vortex states unify Gaussian and Bessel-Gaussian models within a single framework and opens new possibilities for observing relativistic quantum dynamics in structured electron wave packets.

Spin-Orbit Structure and Helicity Anomaly in Relativistic Electron Vortex Beams

The relativistic electron vortex beam (REVB) has attracted increasing attention due to its nontrivial spin-orbit structure recently. As relativistic electrons are governed by the Dirac equation, exact solutions to this equation provide the most reliable starting point for understanding angular momentum characteristics of REVBs. In this work, a set of exact eigensolutions of the Dirac equation are derived in a complex cylindrical coordinate system using a generalized series expansion method. We demonstrate that the eigenstate carries net angular momentum with the vortex charge being the quantum number of the total angular momentum along the propagation direction and deduce the explicit expression for the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling strength. Furthermore, we show that helicity, which exhibits anomaly in the vortex state, can serve as a practical characterizing quantity for the REVB. This work lays a theoretical foundation for further exploration of REVBs in both theory and experiment.

Multi-Dimensional Phase Space Manipulation for Attosecond Electron Bunch Compression

Attosecond electron beams are essential for investigating ultrafast structural and electronic dynamics in matter with atomic-scale resolution. We propose a novel method that enables robust attosecond-level electron bunch compression. This method employs THz-driven linear energy chirping and multidimensional phase-space manipulation, effectively compressing the electron bunch and suppressing its arrival timing jitter. Implemented in an MeV ultrafast electron diffraction beamline, this method compresses a 3~MeV, 0.1~pC electron beam from an initial duration of 50~fs to 810~as while retaining 6~fC of charge, with 850~as arrival-time jitter. This approach enables unprecedented timing resolution in ultrafast sciences and offers significant potential for other accelerator applications involving attosecond-scale electron beams.

Pangu Ultra MoE: How to Train Your Big MoE on Ascend NPUs

Sparse large language models (LLMs) with Mixture of Experts (MoE) and close to a trillion parameters are dominating the realm of most capable language models. However, the massive model scale poses significant challenges for the underlying software and hardware systems. In this paper, we aim to uncover a recipe to harness such scale on Ascend NPUs. The key goals are better usage of the computing resources under the dynamic sparse model structures and materializing the expected performance gain on the actual hardware. To select model configurations suitable for Ascend NPUs without repeatedly running the expensive experiments, we leverage simulation to compare the trade-off of various model hyperparameters. This study led to Pangu Ultra MoE, a sparse LLM with 718 billion parameters, and we conducted experiments on the model to verify the simulation results. On the system side, we dig into Expert Parallelism to optimize the communication between NPU devices to reduce the synchronization overhead. We also optimize the memory efficiency within the devices to further reduce the parameter and activation management overhead. In the end, we achieve an MFU of 30.0% when training Pangu Ultra MoE, with performance comparable to that of DeepSeek R1, on 6K Ascend NPUs, and demonstrate that the Ascend system is capable of harnessing all the training stages of the state-of-the-art language models. Extensive experiments indicate that our recipe can lead to efficient training of large-scale sparse language models with MoE. We also study the behaviors of such models for future reference.

Magnetic-field oscillations of the critical temperature in ultraclean, two-dimensional Type-I superconductor

We investigate the influence of Landau Levels (LLs) and Zeeman energy, induced by an applied magnetic field ${\bf B}$, on the critical temperature $T_c$ for two-dimensional (2D) ultraclean metals using a fully quantum mechanical approach within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. In contrast to standard BCS theory, it allows for Cooper pair formation between electrons with opposite spins and momenta along the ${\bf B}$ direction, both on the same or on neighboring LLs. Our quantum mechanical treatment of LLs reveals that $T_c({\bf B})$ for electrons paired on the same LLs exhibits oscillations around the BCS critical temperature at lower magnetic fields, a phenomenon analogous to the de Haas-van Alphen effect. The Zeeman energy leads to a decrease in $T_c({\bf B})$ with increasing ${\bf B}$ for electrons paired both on the same and on neighboring LLs. Notably, as the $g$-factor increases, the amplitude of the ${\bf B}$ oscillations gradually diminishes until they vanish at higher magnetic fields. Conversely, for small $g$-factors, electron pairing on the same or on neighboring LLs can result in a re-entrant superconducting phase at very high magnetic fields.

Oscillatory magnetic field-dependent critical temperatures of ultraclean Type-II superconductors

The influence of the Zeeman energy and the Landau levels (LLs) arising from an applied magnetic field ${\bf B}$ upon the critical temperature $T_c$ is studied using a fully quantum mechanical method within the framework of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity that forms from an ultraclean metal. As in semiclassical treatments, we found that two electrons can form Cooper pairs with opposite spins and momenta in the ${\bf B}$ direction while either in the same or in neighboring LLs. However, the fully quantum mechanical treatment of the LLs causes $T_c({\bf B})$ for electrons paired on the same LL to oscillate about the critical temperature of the BCS theory, similar to that of the de Haas-van Alphen effect. The Zeeman energy causes $T_c({\bf B})$ to decrease in an oscillatory fashion with increasing ${\bf B}$ for electrons paired either on the same or on neighboring LLs. For the Zeeman $g > 1$, pairing on neighboring LLs results in the highest $T_c({\bf B})$. For $g < 1$, pairing on the same LLs gives the highest $T_c({\bf B})$. In addition, $T_c({\bf B})$ for electrons paired on neighboring LLs exhibits an apparent symmetry around $g=2$, as the oscillatory critical temperature behaviors are nearly identical for $g=2\pm\delta$.

Thermodynamics of Barrow Einstein-power-Yang-Mills AdS black hole in the restricted phase space

As we know that due to the quantum gravitational effects black hole horizons are ``fractalized'' into a sphereflake by Barrow. Based on this issue, in this work we investigate the phase structure and stability of the Einstein-Power-Yang-Mills AdS black holes with the fractal structure on the black hole horizon in the restricted phase space. Through the thermodynamics first law and the Smarr relation in the restricted phase space, we observe that the mass parameter is understood as the inter energy and the Smarr relation is not a homogeneous function of order one for all quantities due to the fractal structure. And the fractal structure can be regarded as a phase transition probe. When this system with the fixed central charge there exists a novel phenomena: the supercritical phase transition. Furthermore the effects of the fractal parameter and non-linear Yang-Mills parameter on the thermodynamics stability of this system are also investigated.

Barrow's non-linear charged Anti-de Sitter black hole and stability

As we know that the horizon area of a black hole will increase when it absorbs matters. While based on Barrow's idea of fractal black hole horizon, ones [Phys. Lett. B 831 (137181) 2022] had proposed that for a spherically fractal structure the minimal increase of the horizon area is the area of the smallest bubble sphere. And the corresponding black hole entropy is of a logarithmic form, which is similar to that of Boltzmann entropy under a certain condition. Based on these, we re-derive the entropy of the Barrow's Einstein-power-Yang-Mills (EPYM) AdS black hole, and calculate the temperature and heat capacity of the Barrow's EPYM AdS black hole. There exists an interesting phenomena that the ratio between the Barrow's temperature and the Hawking temperature of the EPYM AdS black hole is fully consistent with that of other Schwarzschild-like black holes. The Barrow's temperature and Hawking temperature with the certain range of $\Lambda$ are monotonically increasing and the corresponding heat capacities are all positive, which means these black holes are thermodynamically stable. Besides, for the Barrow's EPYM AdS black hole its heat capacity has a Schottky anomaly-like behavior, which may reflect the existence of the discrete energy level and the microscopical degree of freedom.

Flexible multi-bunch-length operation for continuous-wave x-ray free-electron lasers

The X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are cutting-edge instruments pivotal in a broad range of fields, providing high-power X-ray pulses with durations spanning from femtoseconds to attoseconds. One of the critical challenges in XFEL facilities is the simultaneous accommodation of diverse requirements for XFEL operation modes and photon properties across different undulator lines. This paper proposes a dipole-kicker combination in the bunch compressors to vary the electron bunch length for the continuous-wave XFEL facilities driven by a superconducting linac. This method enables optimization of the electron bunch length on a per-bunch basis, tailored to each specific needs of each undulator. Through start-to-end simulations based on the parameters of the Shanghai high-repetition-rate XFEL and extreme light facility, we demonstrate the feasibility of this technique. The results show its effectiveness in enabling simultaneous operations of self-amplified spontaneous emission and externally seeded FEL across different undulator lines, ensuring optimal electron bunch compression for each undulator line.

Phase structure of the de Sitter Spacetime with KR field based on the Lyapunov exponent

Since the spontaneously broken of the Lorentz symmetry in the gravity theory with the non-minimally coupling between the Kalb-Ramond (KR) field (that acquires a nonzero vacuum expectation value) and the Einstein gravity, there exists the exactly static and spherically symmetric black holes solutions related with the Lorentz violating parameter. Based on this, we consider the corresponding black hole solution in the de-Sitter (dS) spacetime with the KR field and investigate the thermodynamic properties in the expanded phase space through introducing the interplay entropy between the black hole and cosmological horizons. Especially we analyze the effect of the Lorentz-violating parameter on the thermodynamic properties. Furthermore, the Lyapunov exponent and the shadow of these static and spherically symmetric black holes in this Lorentz-violating gravity theory are also investigated. These study will open a new perspective to probe the thermodynamics of black holes.

Coupler RF kick and emittance optimization of the SHINE injector

Coupler RF kick due to the asymmetric structure caused by the coupler, is more likely to lead to emittance growth in the SHINE injector with low beam energy. The calculation of coupler RF kick and resulting emittance dilution has been studied in detail in the literature. In this paper, a novel approach is provided that a lossy material is placed on the surface of the superconducting cavity to approximate the Q0 of the TESLA cavity, and a frequency solver of CST is used to simulate the electromagnetic field distribution, which is used to calculate coupler RF kick, and calibrated against the results of CST Particle Tracking Studio with a good agreement. In order to minimize the emittance growth of SHINE injector, a 1.3 GHz symmetric twin-coupler cavity is adoped in the single-cavity cryomodule, and the rotational angle and permutation of the 8 cavities in the 8-cavities cryomodule is optimized. Ultimately, the optimized emittance is lower than the design parameter.

Topology and phase transition for EPYM AdS black hole in thermal potential

As we all know the local topological properties of thermodynamical systems can be expressed by the winding numbers as the defects. The topological number that is the sum of all winding numbers can be used to classify the global topological nature of thermodynamical systems. In this paper, we construct a kind of thermal potential and then put the Einstein-power-Yang-Mills AdS black hole in it. Through the analysis of the geometric characteristics of the thermal potential based on the complex analysis we find the topological number is an invariant that is same as shown in the way of the Duan's $\phi$-mapping topological current [Sci. Sin. 9, 1072 (1979)]. Furthermore, we adopt the Kramer's escape rate method to investigate the intensity of the first-order phase transition.

Nonlinearity effect on Joule-Thomson expansion of Einstein-power-Yang-Mills AdS black hole

Considering the nonlinearity of the Yang Mills charge, we investigate the Joule-Thomson expansion for the Einstein-Power-Yang-Mills AdS black holes in the context of the gauge-gravity duality. Under this framework, we calculate the Joule-Thomson coefficient, describe all relevant inversion and isenthalpic curves in the temperature-pressure plane that determining in this manner the corresponding cooling and heating regions. Finally, we analyze the effect of the charge nonlinearity on the Joule-Thomson expansion.

Thickness dependence of superconductivity in FeSe films

The films of FeSe on substrates have attracted attention because of their unusually high-temperature (Tc) superconducting properties whose origins continue to be debated. To disentangle the competing effects of the substrate and interlayer and intralayer processes, we present here results of density functional theory (DFT)-based analysis of the electronic structure of unsupported FeSe films consisting of 1 to 5 layers (1L-5L). Furthermore, by solving the Bardeen-Schrieffer-Cooper (BCS) equation with spin-wave exchange attraction derived from the Hubbard model, we find the superconducting critical temperature Tc for 1L-5L and bulk FeSe systems in reasonable agreement with experimental data. Our results point to the importance of correlation effects in superconducting properties of single- and multi-layer FeSe films, independently of the role of substrate.
