Allan variance has been widely utilized for evaluating the stability of the time series generated by atomic clocks and lasers, in time regimes ranging from short to extremely long. This multiscale examination capability of the Allan variance may also be beneficial in evaluating the chaotic oscillating dynamics of semiconductor lasers— not just for conventional phase stability analysis. In the present study, we demonstrated Allan variance analysis of the complex time series generated by a semiconductor laser with delayed feedback, including low-frequency fluctuations (LFFs), which exhibit both fast and slow dynamics. While the detection of LFFs is difficult with the conventional power spectrum analysis method in the low-frequency regime, the Allan variance approach clearly captured the appearance of multiple time-scale dynamics, such as LFFs. This study demonstrates that Allan variance can help in understanding and characterizing diverse laser dynamics, including LFFs, spanning a wide range of timescales.

We consider a system of weakly coupled one-dimensional wires forming a three-dimensional stack in the presence of a spatially periodic modulation of the chemical potential along the wires, equivalent to a charge density wave (CDW). An external static magnetic field is applied parallel to the wire axes. We show that, for a certain parameter regime, due to interplay between the CDW and magnetic field, the system can support a second-order topological phase characterized by the presence of chiral quasi-1D quantum Hall effect (QHE) hinge modes. Interestingly, we demonstrate that direction of propagation of the hinge modes depends on the phase of the CDW and can be reversed only by electrical means without the need of changing the orientation of the magnetic field. Furthermore, we show that the system can also support 2D chiral surface QHE states, which can coexist with one-dimensional hinge modes, realizing a scenario of a hybrid high-order topology. Performing two-terminal transport simulations in the linear response regime, we confirm quantized QHE resistance plateaus, which are highly robust to disorder giving a clear signature of hinge and surface states.

We study work extraction processes mediated by finite-time interactions with an ambient bath—partial thermalizations—as continuous-time Markov processes for two-level systems. Such a stochastic process results in fluctuations in the amount of work that can be extracted and is characterized by the rate at which the system parameters are driven in addition to the rate of thermalization with the bath. We analyze the distribution of work for the case in which the energy gap of a two-level system is driven at a constant rate. We derive analytic expressions for average work and a lower bound for the variance of work showing that such processes cannot be fluctuation-free in general. We also observe that an upper bound for the Monte Carlo estimate of the variance of work can be obtained using Jarzynski's fluctuation-dissipation relation for systems initially in equilibrium. Finally, we analyze work extraction cycles by modifying the Carnot cycle, incorporating processes involving partial thermalizations, and we obtain efficiency at maximum power for such finite-time work extraction cycles under different sets of constraints.
