Quantum correlation measures are extensively studied in neutrino systems as some measures show nonclassical features in neutrino oscillation. Entanglement is also a splendid measure to study in the neutrino system. Entanglement of formation is a fundamental concept in the realm of quantum physics, and it is a widely used measure for quantifying entanglement. We analyze the effects of non-standard interaction on the entanglement of formation in the context of various experimental setups for a three-flavor neutrino oscillation scenario. We find that the impact of NSI can be maximum in the DUNE, i.e., the long-baseline neutrino experiment.

U(1) extension of the Standard Model (SM) is well motivated, where the charges of SM fermions are fixed by gauge anomaly cancellations and Yukawa interactions. While the literature extensively discusses anomaly cancellation solutions in which SM fermions are vector-like under new U(1)(X) symmetry, allowing the Yukawa structure to remain invariant, chiral solutions in which SM fermions are chiral under new symmetry are not well explored. In this work, we venture into these relatively unexplored chiral solutions. We presented a particularly intriguing chiral solution with the introduction of three right-handed fermions (RHFs). We termed this symmetry as Dark-Hyper Charge (DHC) Symmetry. This terminology stems from the resemblance of the U(1)(X) charges of the SM particles to hypercharge, with the term 'dark' referring to the relatively large charges of the RHFs. This implies that the branching fraction of Z' to these RHFs should be significantly high. The introduced RHFs could potentially serve as Dark Matter (DM) candidates. We will demonstrate in a model-independent manner using only the Z' interaction channel, that the lightest RHF, denoted as F-1, is a viable DM candidate, and it can meet all current DM constraints with a mass of M-F1 greater than or similar to 150 GeV.

We perform DNSs of grid turbulence with mean scalar gradient and conduct scale-by-scale analysis to reveal the interscale transfer of passive scalar. The scale-by-scale scalar (SBSS) equation, which can be deemed as an extended equation of the Karman-Howarth-Monin-Hill (KHMH) equation, is derived and employed in the DNS data to evaluate the interscale transfer between two points. The results reveal that the inverse cascade phenomenon of the scalar appears in the upstream regions. Further analysis reveals that the existence of fluid mass with an unmixed scalar plays an essential role in the inverse cascade phenomenon.

Taking advantage of the high thermo-optic coefficient of silicon is an effectiveway to realize optical phase shifting in silicon photonic circuits. Based on the imec iSiPP200 silicon photonics platform, different types of integrated silicon photonic phase shifters are compared, including doped-silicon side heaters, diode-loaded heaters, doped waveguides, and metal top heaters. The effect of thermal insulation on phase shifter efficiency and bandwidth is discussed for different architectures with and without substrate undercut. By locally removing the silicon substrate underneath the heater, the efficiency of doped-silicon side heaters is improved by a factor of 2.7 for a pi phase shift.

In this study, the feedback loop phenomena caused by upstream propagating waves (guided jet waves) in a Mach 0.9 free jet are investigated. A point source is placed at the end of the potential core of a three-dimensional free jet as a noise source in the jet and the sensitivity of the flow field is measured. The results show that the case St(D) = 0.47 has the highest sensitivity, which was consistent with the allowable frequency range of the guided jet wave. This result supports the idea that guided jet waves cause free shear layer instability waves.

Alkaline water electrolysis is the important pathway for the green hydrogen production, where oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the rate-limiting step due to the sluggish reaction kinetics. Transition metal heterogeneous catalyst is the kind of important OER catalyst for alkaline water electrolysis due to its good performance, low price and environmental friendliness. In this work, the porous sulfide nickel@nickel iron alloy catalyst (i.e. NM/NS@Ni3Fe) is prepared by the designed high-temperature vulcanization and multi-step electrodeposition method. The NM/NS@Ni3Fe catalyst exhibits an outstanding OER performance in an alkaline environment, with a low potential of 1.53 V at high current density of 1000 mA cm(-2) and a low Tafel slope of 89 mV dec(-1). The excellent OER performance is attributed to the unique electronic structure of Ni3S2/Ni3Fe heterogeneous interface and the catalyst layer with porous structure. The results indicate that Ni3S2 provides good electronic conductivity and the low electronegativity S atoms increase the formation of oxygen vacancies, which effectively improves the OER performance. In addition, the hydrophilic and porous structure of the electrode facilitates bubbles release and electrolyte flow at high current density. It provides the guidance for the design of porous heterogeneous OER catalysts with good-performance.

Report on the advancement in the integration of the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) stabilization scheme on a single InP photonic integrated circuit by monolithically integrating a tunable laser and an electro-optic phase modulator (EOPM). A semi-insulating substrate allows a sufficiently reduced electrical crosstalk between the laser and the external EOPM to allow PDH stabilization. A novel implementation of the PDH lock is demonstrated, whereby an EOPM internal to the integrated lasing cavity is modulated. The frequency noise suppression of both implementations is measured and compared to those achieved with a bulk phase modulator. A 58 dB frequency noise suppression at 10-100 Hz is achieved.

Attosecond four-wave mixing spectroscopy is a relatively new technique for studying ultrafast dynamics of highly excited states with exquisite temporal precision and spectral resolution. The attosecond four-wave mixing technique, as described in this paper, uses non-collinear beam geometries of one attosecond pulse together with two optical pulses to obtain background-free, spatially isolated emission signals in the extreme ultraviolet range that directly resolve coherent dynamics in the time domain. This method is advantageous by avoiding the strong spectral modulations that often complicate the interpretation of collinear attosecond transient absorption studies while also enabling greater control over the spatial and temporal characteristics of each light-matter interaction used to probe the ultrafast processes. This paper describes a broad range of attosecond four-wave mixing experiments performed in gas phase atoms and molecules, and a recent extension into solids.

Amorphous germanium nanostrip is embedded in polymer to form a waveguide. Such waveguides only transmit TM-polarized light while imposing a strong absorption on the TE-polarized light. Furthermore, this absorption is shown to saturate upon femtosecond pulse excitation. This property is used to construct on-chip saturable absorber by depositing a Ge strip onto a polymer waveguide. Such hybrid waveguide is sandwiched between an InP reflective gain chip and a fiber Bragg grating to construct a mode-locked laser. Experiments have shown a pulse train with a 147-ps pulse width at 50.58-MHz repetition rate. The electronic signal-to-noise ratio is larger than 50 dB.

The hybrid integration of III-V gain media with low-loss photonic integrated circuits has advanced the performance of laser systems in terms of laser stability and coherence. The advent of lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) photonics for self-injection locking and external cavities has allowed to increase in the frequency tuning rates of such lasers beyond the peta-hertz per second regime. Yet such lasers have up to now been difficult to operate and require complex photonic circuits and have only achieved low output powers. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid integrated frequency-agile laser based on an InP RSOA and an extended electro-optic Bragg waveguide reflector (E-DBR) manufactured with a wafer-scale lithium niobate-on-insulator process. The E-DBR laser can be tuned over 10 GHz with a tuning efficiency of more than 550 MHz/V with megahertz speed, and good linearity while featuring high optical output power of more than 10 mW and kilohertz linewidth.
