Multimode phonon-mediated enhancement of entanglement and competing synchronization in cavity magnomechanics

The generation of quantum correlations in hybrid quantum systems remains a central challenge due to the intrinsic limitations of linear interactions. In cavity magnomechanical platforms, the cavity-magnon coupling gives rise to hybridized cavity-magnon polaritons (CMPs). However, as a beam-splitter-type interaction, it does not by itself generate entanglement between the polariton modes in the absence of additional nonlinear or parametric processes. Here, we propose a mechanism based on multimode phonon mediation, in which multiple vibrational modes act as parallel scattering channels that couple the polaritons through Stokes and anti-Stokes processes. We show that , in the parameter regime explored here, the presence of multiple phonon modes leads to a monotonic enhancement of steady-state entanglement, thereby going beyond the limitations of conventional single-mode schemes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that quantum synchronization between the polariton modes originates from the same underlying scattering processes responsible for entanglement generation, yet exhibits an opposite scaling behavior with increasing phonon number for the phase quadrature, while the amplitude synchronization reveals collective squeezing that grows with the number of phonon channels. Our results provide new insights into the role of multimode interactions in shaping quantum correlations and establish a viable pathway for controlling entanglement and collective dynamics in hybrid magnomechanical platforms.

Weak charged current induced electron and positron scattering off proton at JLab and MAMI energies

The development of next-generation, high-luminosity, and high-precision charged lepton beam facilities at JLab and MAMI has opened, in recent years, a new frontier in the exploration of weak interaction processes induced by electrons and positrons in the neutral current sector, which can also be used to study weak interaction processes induced by charged currents. In particular, these processes in the intermediate energy regime, spanning from a few hundred MeV to a few GeV, play a crucial role in understanding electroweak dynamics, nucleon structure, and hadronic response functions. This review presents a comprehensive theoretical study of weak charged-current interactions of electrons and positrons with free protons, encompassing quasielastic scattering in both the strangeness conserving and strangeness changing channels, together with inelastic production of the $P_{33}$(1232), $P_{11}$(1440), $S_{11}$(1535) resonances, $η$ and $K$ mesons, and associated production of strange particles. We analyse differential and total cross sections, polarization observables of the final baryons, and spin asymmetries of the proton target, demonstrating their sensitivity to the underlying weak interaction dynamics and to possible second class currents, thereby enabling stringent tests of G- and T- invariance. The explored kinematic region also offers a unique and independent opportunity to constrain the axial vector sector of the weak interaction, and it provides a discussion of alternative ways to determine the axial dipole mass in the quasielastic scattering region, a fundamental parameter that is in debate for nearly two decades. It also focuses on the study of the axial-vector form factors associated with the excitation of the $P_{33}(1232)$ resonance in a manner that is free from the uncertainties inherent in their determination from studies of (anti)neutrino-induced weak processes.

Enhanced Magnon Synchronization in Coupled WGM Optomagnonic Resonators with Phase-Dependent Photon Hopping

We investigate quantum synchronization in a coupled cavity optomagnonic system which consists of two spatially separated optical whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) resonators and each resonator is also coupled to a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere through the optomagnonic interaction. Phase-dependent single-photon hopping factor couples the two optical resonators and provides an indirect interaction between the two distant magnon modes. We then investigate complete synchronization, ϕ-synchronization, and quantum phase synchronization using the covariance-matrix formalism as well as also studying the effects of the hopping term on the overall synchronization dynamics of two distant magnon modes. It can be seen that the photon-hopping phase provides an efficient way to control the synchronization dynamics and when it is varied from 0 to π, the magnon trajectories gradually evolve from weakly correlated motion to a highly synchronized state, which is also accompanied by a significant reduction in the synchronization error. The influence of the photon-hopping strength and thermal fluctuations is also investigated, where it can be seen that stronger photon hopping enhances all synchronization measures, while thermal noise weakens the coherent correlations responsible for synchronized dynamics. Our results demonstrate that the phase of the hopping factor offers a simple and effective approach for controlling synchronization dynamics in WGM based coupled cavity optomagnonic systems and also provide a useful route towards coherent control of collective magnon dynamics in such quantum optomganonic devices.

Controlled Quantum Metrology with Anisotropic Heisenberg Spin Interactions under Intrinsic Decoherence

We theoretically investigate quantum parameter estimation in a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg spin system with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction in the presence of intrinsic decoherence described by the Milburn model. Using the Quantum Fisher Information (QFI), we study the estimation of both the uniform magnetic field and the DM interaction strength. Analytical expressions for the time-evolved density matrix are obtained and used to explore the effects of exchange anisotropy, intrinsic decoherence, and probe-state preparation on the achievable estimation precision. Our results show that suitable tuning of the anisotropic exchange coupling and the initial entangled state can considerably enhance the estimation performance, with different optimal parameter regimes emerging for magnetic-field and DM-interaction sensing. To better understand the role of quantum resources in metrology, we also examine the behaviour of concurrence, quantum coherence, and von Neumann entropy. Overall, our findings demonstrate that anisotropic Heisenberg spin systems with DM interaction provide a promising and flexible platform for high-precision quantum metrology even in the presence of intrinsic decoherence.

Charged current induced electron-proton scattering and the axial vector form factor

We investigate the total scattering cross section($σ$), the differential cross section$\left(\frac{dσ}{dQ^2}\right)$, the longitudinal($A_L(E_e,Q^2)$) and perpendicular($A_P(E_e,Q^2)$) spin asymmetries of the polarized target proton, as well as the longitudinal($P_L(E_e,Q^2)$), perpendicular($P_P(E_e,Q^2)$), and transverse($P_T(E_e,Q^2)$) polarization components of the final neutron, in the weak charged current induced electron-proton scattering relevant to the future experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility(JLab) and Mainz Microtron(MAMI). The analysis is performed assuming time-reversal(T) invariance as well as without assuming T invariance, allowing for a nonvanishing transverse polarization component of the final nucleon, perpendicular to the production plane. Numerical results are presented for the above mentioned observables, and their sensitivities to the various parameterizations of the axial vector form factor $g_1(Q^2)$ and a nonzero weak electric form factor $g_2(Q^2)$ are examined. We find that the cross section depends strongly on the parameterizations used for the axial vector form factor. Moreover, the dipole parameterization of $g_1(Q^2)$ with a higher value of the axial dipole mass $M_A$ simulates the apparent enhancement in $σ$ obtained using the non-dipole parameterizations like the $z$-expansion and Faddeev equation form. The cross sections are found to depend only weakly on the weak electric form factor $g_2(Q^2)$, which is associated with the violation of G-invariance. On the contrary, the spin observables both $A_{L,P}(E_e, Q^2)$ and $P_{L,P}(E_e, Q^2)$ are found to be strongly dependent on $g_2(Q^2)$. This study may be useful in the analysis of the neutrino oscillation experiments to provide an alternative constrain on the parameterization of axial vector form factor, which currently has large uncertainties.

Theoretical modeling of charged current $ν_μ(\barν_μ)-^{40}Ar$ DIS at DUNE energies

The charged current $ν_μ(\barν_μ)$-induced deep inelastic scattering (DIS) from an $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$ target is studied using a microscopic framework that incorporates nuclear medium effects due to Fermi motion, binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic ($π$ and $ρ$) contributions, and nuclear shadowing and antishadowing across the relevant Bjorken-$x$ region. The nuclear structure functions $F_{iA}(x,Q^2)$ $(i=1\text{-}3)$ are evaluated using a relativistic nucleon spectral function ($S_h$) within the local density approximation employing the free nucleon structure functions, $F_{iN}(x,Q^2)$ $(i=1\text{-}3)$. These $F_{iN}(x,Q^2)$ $(i=1\text{-}3)$ are calculated using parton distribution functions (PDFs) from MMHT 2014 parameterization, including higher-order perturbative QCD corrections up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO), along with nonperturbative target mass corrections (TMC). The resulting nuclear structure functions $F_{iA}(x,Q^2)$ $(i=1\text{-}3)$ are subsequently used to compute the differential DIS cross sections for $^{40}Ar$ nucleus. Numerical results are presented for $ν_μ(\barν_μ)$ beam energies $E=4$ GeV and $E=6$ GeV for the differential scattering cross sections $\frac{d^2σ}{dx dy}$ and $\frac{dσ}{dx}$, relevant to ongoing and upcoming liquid-argon neutrino experiments such as DUNE and the Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino program.

Nonreciprocal photon blockade in a spinning microwave magnomechanical system through kerr-magnon and optical parametric amplifier

Unconventional quantum antibunching, arising from quantum interference effects, represents a notable form of quantum correlation that has attracted significant attention for its ability to generate high-quality single-quantum sources. In this work, we propose a scheme to achieve and actively control strong photon blockade in a spinning microwave magnomechanical system by leveraging the combined nonlinear effects of Kerr-induced magnon interactions and an optical parametric amplifier. By exploiting the Sagnac-Fizeau shift, we establish nonreciprocal photon blockade and verify this effect through a combination of analytical modelling and numerical simulations. To gain intuitive insight into the underlying nonreciprocity, we approximate the equal-time second-order correlation function using the analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation. This analytical result is then compared with the full numerical solution derived from the Lindblad master equation. The influences of thermal noise, the probe field amplitude, and the magnetic-dipole coupling strength are investigated within the constraints of the weak-coupling regime. The system's nonclassicality is characterized using the Mandel parameter, complemented by an analysis of the time evolution of the second-order correlation function. Our work provides a pathway for realizing nonreciprocal photon blockade in a nonlinear spinning microwave magnomechanical system.

Higher order perturbative and nonperturbative QCD corrections on the proton structure functions and parity violating electron asymmetry

We study the nonperturbative and higher order perturbative corrections on the electromagnetic ($F_{1p,2p}^γ$) and electromagnetic-weak interference ($F_{1p,2p,3p}^{γZ}$) structure functions and their impact on the parity violating electron asymmetry in the deep inelastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electron off an unpolarized proton target. The numerical results for them are presented by including the perturbative corrections beyond the leading order (LO) up to the next-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) and nonperturbative QCD corrections due to the target mass corrections (TMC) and the higher twist (HT: twist-4) effects. We also present the numerical results for the electron beam spin asymmetry $A_{PV}^{(e)}(x,Q^2)$ corresponding to the JLab energies of 6 GeV, 12 GeV and 22 GeV and discuss the feasibility of determining the $d/u$ quark distribution ratio. The results obtained in this work may be useful for the analysis of future measurements at the Electron Ion Collider(EIC) in USA, and the Electron ion collider in China(EicC) aimed at studying parity violating effects in the deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons from unpolarized proton targets.

Multipartite quantum entanglement in $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric molecular optomechanics: Nonreciprocal enhancement and thermal resilience to \SI{500}{\kelvin}

We present a theoretical framework for a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric double-cavity molecular optomechanical system demonstrating nonreciprocal enhancement of multipartite quantum entanglement at elevated temperatures. All bipartite entanglement channels ($E_{ac}$, $E_{aB_1}$, $E_{cB_2}$, $E_{B_1B_2}$) simultaneously maximize at optimal nonreciprocal asymmetry $J_1/J_2 \approx 5$, with entanglement persisting to $T \sim \SIrange{400}{500}{\kelvin}$ (material-limited ceiling) two orders of magnitude beyond conventional optomechanical systems. This thermal resilience and balanced enhancement across all channels arise from synergistic combination of ultra-high-frequency molecular vibrations ($ω_m/2π= \SI{30}{\tera\hertz}$), collective $\sqrt{N}$ coupling enhancement with $N=\num{e6}$ molecules, and directional nonreciprocal coupling shielding entanglement-generating interactions from backaction noise. Unlike optical parametric amplifier schemes where vibration-vibration enhancement suppresses optical-vibration correlations, our $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric architecture circumvents this fundamental trade-off, validated through rigorous stability analysis via Routh-Hurwitz criterion.

Quantum phase synchronisation enhanced via Coulomb interaction in an optomechanical system

In this work, we investigate the dynamics of quantum synchronization in a four-mode optomechanical system, focusing on the influence of the Coulomb interaction between two mechanical resonators. We analyze the effect of the Coulomb coupling on three distinct synchronization regimes, i.e., complete quantum synchronization, $ϕ$-synchronization, and quantum phase synchronization. Our results show that while the Coulomb interaction plays a pivotal role in significantly enhancing quantum phase synchronization by facilitating energy exchange and phase coherence, it has little impact on complete and $ϕ$-synchronization. This indicates that amplitude and frequency locking are primarily determined by the optical driving, whereas phase alignment depends critically on inter-resonator coupling. We also demonstrate that the oscillations of the two optical cavities, which are indirectly coupled via the mechanical resonators, can become aligned over time, resulting in classical synchronization. These findings provide a robust mechanism for controlling collective quantum dynamics and offer a foundation for applications in quantum communication, precision sensing, and the development of synchronized quantum networks.

Cavity magnomechanical framework for a high-efficiency quantum battery

We theoretically investigate a quantum battery architecture where two identical two-level atoms are charged by a cavity-magnomechanical system, which includes a microwave cavity, a magnon mode hosted in a YIG sphere, and phonon mode due to the deformation of the YIG sphere. The charging process relies on coherent energy exchange, where the atoms couple to the cavity, which in turn, it interacts with the magnon mode via a beam-splitter mechanism. By deriving the system Hamiltonian under the rotating-wave approximation and employing a Lindblad master equation to rigorously model dissipation, we analyze the complete dynamical evolution of the battery. Our study demonstrates that strong, resonant light-matter interactions are crucial for enhancing the key performance metrics: charging efficiency, stored energy, and ergotropy (extractable work). We systematically investigate the deleterious effects of detuning and decoherence, and critically, we uncover a non-trivial interplay between the system's coupling strengths. This reveals optimal operating regimes where constructive interference maximizes performance, while excessive coupling in specific channels can degrade it. Ultimately, our findings provide a quantitative framework for engineering high-efficiency quantum batteries in hybrid magnonic platforms, offering a design roadmap for future experimental realizations.

Identification of Gamma Ray Pulsar Candidates in the \emph{Fermi}-LAT 4FGL-DR4 Unassociated Sources Using Supervised Machine Learning

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the \emph{Fermi} Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been continuously providing good quality survey data of the entire sky in the high energy range from 30 MeV to 500 GeV and above since August 2008. A succession of gamma-ray source catalogs is published after a comprehensive analysis of the \emph{Fermi}--LAT data. The most recent release of data in the fourth \emph{Fermi}--LAT catalog of gamma-ray sources (4FGL-DR4), based on the first 14 years of observations in the energy band 50 MeV-1 TeV, contains 7195 sources. A large fraction ($\sim$ 33\%) of this population has no known counterparts in the lower wave bands. Such high energy gamma-ray sources are referred to as unassociated or unidentified. An appropriate classification of these objects into known type of gamma-ray sources such as the active galactic nuclei or pulsars is essential for population studies and pointed multi-wavelength observations to probe the radiative processes. In this work, we perform a detailed classification of the unassociated sources reported in the 4FGL-DR4 catalog using two supervised machine learning techniques-Random Forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting. We mainly focus on the identification of new gamma-ray pulsar candidates by making use of different observational features derived from the long-term observations with the \emph{Fermi}--LAT and reported in the incremental 4FGL-DR4 catalog. We also explore the effects of data balancing approach on the classification of the \emph{Fermi}--LAT unassociated sources.

Even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states with spontaneously broken rotational symmetry

The interplay between the fractional quantum Hall effect and nematicity is intriguing as it links emerging topological order and spontaneous symmetry breaking. Anisotropic fractional quantum Hall states (FQHSs) have indeed been reported in GaAs quantum wells but only in tilted magnetic fields, where the in-plane field explicitly breaks the rotational symmetry. Here we report the observation of FQHSs with highly anisotropic longitudinal resistances in purely perpendicular magnetic fields at even-denominator Landau level (LL) fillings ν = 5/2 and 7/2 in ultrahigh-quality GaAs two-dimensional hole systems. The coexistence of FQHSs and spontaneous symmetry breaking at half fillings signals the emergence of nematic FQHSs which also likely harbor non-Abelian quasiparticle excitations. By gate tuning the hole density, we observe a phase transition from an anisotropic, developing FQHS to an isotropic composite fermion Fermi sea at ν = 7/2. Our calculations suggest that the mixed orbital components in the partially occupied LL play a key role in the competition and interplay between topological and nematic orders.

Charged current neutrino and antineutrino induced associated particle production from nucleons

In this work, we study the charged-current (anti)neutrino-induced associated particle($KΛ$) production($ΔS=0$) from free nucleons in the energy region of a few GeV, relevant to the (anti)neutrino oscillation experiments with accelerator and atmospheric neutrinos. We employ a model based on effective Lagrangians to evaluate the contributions from the nonresonant and the resonant diagrams. The nonresonant background terms are calculated using a microscopic model derived from the SU(3) chiral Lagrangians. For the resonant contributions, we consider the low-lying spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ resonances, such as $S_{11}(1650)$, $P_{11}(1710)$, $P_{11}(1880)$, and $S_{11}(1895)$, and spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ resonances, such as $P_{13}(1720)$ and $P_{13}(1900)$, which have finite branching ratios to the $KΛ$ channel. These resonant contributions are modelled using an effective phenomenological Lagrangian approach, with strong couplings determined from the experimental branching ratios and the decay widths to the $KΛ$ channel. To fix the parameters of the vector current interaction, the model is first used to reproduce satisfactorily the MAMI experimental data on the real photon induced scattering off the nucleon resulting an eta meson in the final state and with the CLAS data for the $KΛ$ production in the final state. The PCAC hypothesis and the generalized Goldberger-Treiman relation are used to fix the parameters of the axial vector interaction. The model is then applied to study the weak production of $KΛ$ induced by the neutrinos and antineutrinos, and predicts the numerical values for the $Q^2$-distribution, the kaon kinetic energy distribution, and the total scattering cross sections with and without a cut on the CM energy W. The results presented in this work are relevant for the present and future accelerator and atmospheric neutrino experiments.

Neutrino-nucleon elastic scattering in presence of non-standard interactions: cross sections and nucleon polarizations

New physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) may appear in the form of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI). We have studied neutral current (anti)neutrino-nucleon scattering in presence of NSI. We obtain that in this scenario, nucleon matrix elements depend not only on the isovector axial nucleon form factor but also on the isoscalar one. For the axial form factors we consequently rely on the quark flavor decomposition performed by QCD simulations in the lattice (LQCD). We have examined cross sections and polarization observables. For the current bounds on diagonal muon flavor NSI couplings we find substantial deviations from the SM predictions in cross sections and transverse polarizations of the outgoing nucleons. In view of the progress in the precision of LQCD determinations of nucleon properties, modern measurements of neutral current (anti)neutrino-nucleon scattering will be in the position to discover or significantly constrain NSI.

Perturbative and nonperturbative QCD corrections in polarized nucleon structure functions and spin asymmetries of nucleons

We have studied the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) of polarized charged leptons from polarized nucleon targets and evaluated the polarized nucleon structure functions $g_{1N,2N}(x,Q^2)$ as well as the nucleon asymmetries $A_{1N,2N}(x,Q^2)$ for protons and neutrons. The higher order perturbative corrections up to the Next-to-Next-to-the-Leading Order (NNLO), using the parameterization of Polarized Parton Distribution Functions (PPDFs) given by Borsa, Stratmann, Vogelsang, de Florian and Sassot (BDSSV24) in the 3-flavor $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ scheme, along with the nonperturbative corrections$-$namely the twist-3 corrections and the Target Mass Corrections (TMC)$-$have been included in the calculations. The numerical results for the polarized nucleon structure functions, the nucleon asymmetries and the sum rule integrals of the nucleon structure functions$-$corresponding to the Ellis-Jaffe, Bjorken, and Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rules$-$have been evaluated numerically and are found to be in agreement with the experimental results from SLAC, CERN, DESY and JLab. The benchmarking of the PPDFs of BDSSV24 at NNLO using the present data on polarized nucleon structure functions and other observables will be useful in studying the nuclear medium effects in the scattering of the charged leptons from nuclei at the JLab, EIC, DESY, etc., and the scattering of the (anti)neutrinos from polarized nucleons and nuclei at the proposed neutrino factories.

Exploring the giant monopole resonance in superheavy nuclei: A theoretical perspective

Within the relativistic mean field framework, in an extended Thomas-Fermi approximation, we calculate the binding energy and charge distribution radius for the latest superheavy nuclei, synthesised in various laboratories, with atomic numbers $Z = 110-118$. The binding energy and radii are compared with the results obtained from relativistic Hartree calculations along with the experimental data, wherever available, to check the reliability of the methods. The calculations are extended to estimate the giant monopole resonances to understand the collective vibration of the nucleons for such superheavy nuclei. The giant monopole resonances obtained from scaling calculations are compared with the constraint computations. Furthermore, the results are compared with other known methods, such as the relativistic Random Phase Approximation (RPA) and time-dependent mean field calculations, along with some known lighter nuclei, specifically Zr isotopes (N = 42-86) and O isotopes (N = 10-36). Finally, the nuclear compressibility of the superheavy nuclei is predicted from the energy obtained in the breathing mode.

Superheavy Nuclei and the Changing Face of Nuclear Magicity

Using a relativistic mean field formalism, we analyzed the magic number sequence for finite nuclei in the superheavy valley. The result for the IOPB-I parameter set is compared with the well-known NL3 force. The magic numbers obtained from IOPB-I and NL3 interactions are found to be similar. Analysing the single-particle levels and the number of nucleons occupied in it, we find the close shell sequence as 2, 8, 18, 34, 50, 58, 80, 82, 92, 114, 120, 120, 138, 164, 172, 184 and 198 for the $^{318}{120}$ mass region. Again, with a careful inspection, we noticed large shell gaps at nucleon numbers 2, 8, 18, 34, 50, 58, 80, 92, 120, 138, 164, 172, 184, and 198, which may be considered as the magic number sequence for the superheavy nuclei. This change may be due to the shape change of the nuclear potential as compared to the stability valley.
