We demonstrate that the system of two connected in series resistively shunted Josephson nanojunctions may exhibit a novel quantum Coulomb drag effect mediated by cotunneling of Cooper pairs. In the Coulomb blockade regime, one of the junctions can develop a non-vanishing electric current while an external voltage bias is applied to another one. This phenomenon results from a non-trivial interplay between macroscopic quantum coherence, dissipation, and electron–electron interactions and can be directly tested in future experiments.

Despite significant progress made over the past decade, the structure of nuclear matter at short internucleon distances remains one of the least studied problems in nuclear physics. At distances of the order of the nucleon size, nuclear matter is represented by compact groups of correlated nucleons, called short range correlations, with relative momenta exceeding the Fermi momentum. These objects are produced for short periods of time by fluctuations in the average nuclear density when two or more nucleons get together within the distance of about 1 fermi. One of the important characteristics of the correlations is their universality, which implies the independence of their properties from the mass number of the nucleus. Therefore, the features of these nuclear structure objects reflect the properties of nuclear matter rather than specific nuclei. Information about short-range physics is mainly extracted from the analysis of processes with large energy-momentum transfers. In this letter we present the results of a reanalysis of data on the production of high momentum protons and antiprotons on nuclei in the virtually unexplored kinematic region of large energy-momentum transfers in the region where main contribution to the cross sections comes from three-nucleon correlation. For the first time in hadron induced reactions we observed the existence of the correlations universality in the creation of proton and antiprotons, which consist exclusively of quarks or antiquarks, respectively. The analysis conducted indicates a change in the proton formation mechanism from quasi-elastic to deep inelastic scattering with an increase in the energy-momentum transferred to the detected cumulative protons.

In this work, the magnon–photon hybridization in a technologically simple system based on an yttrium iron garnet film and a microwave resonator integrated into a microstrip line is numerically simulated for the first time using the ANSYS HFSS package. A characteristic splitting of the resonant frequencies (anticrossing) is demonstrated, indicating the implementation of a strong coupling between magnon and photon modes. A relative frequency splitting on the order of 0.06 is obtained. Furthermore, the influence of the spatial position of the yttrium iron garnet resonator on the parameters of hybrid states is studied, and the possibility of controlling the hybridization frequency by adjusting the resonator parameters is demonstrated. The results show the feasibility of implementing a strong magnon–photon coupling in a simple and easily reproducible microstrip structure and can be used in the design of sensors, tunable microwave filters, and elements of hybrid magnon or quantum systems.

The possibility of controlling the spectrum of high harmonics in the range of 50–200 eV under the excitation of a gas jet by a pair of intense femtosecond near- (1.24 μm) and mid-infrared (4.5 μm) laser pulses has been experimentally demonstrated. It has been established that an increase in the intensity of long-wavelength radiation from ~10⁹ to ~10¹² W/cm² under the peak intensity 10¹⁴ W/cm² of the short-wavelength pulse leads to a transition from a discrete spectrum containing sum and difference frequencies to a quasi-continuous broadband spectrum. This transition has been explained by a change in the regime of influence of the mid-infrared field on the dynamics of the generating electron. The obtained results demonstrate the prospects for generating radiation with the quasi-continuous broadband spectrum up to the soft X-ray region when generating high harmonics by a synthesized laser field.

A theory of high-frequency hydrodynamic flows of two-dimensional electrons in nanostructures with a low defect density and edges with various imperfections is developed. It is shown that a resonance in high-frequency viscosity coefficients leads to a dependence of the sample impedance on a magnetic field with a sharp singularity, the character of which depends on the edge type: complete adhesion of the fluid to the edges corresponds to a narrow high resonance, while increasing fluid slip near the edges leads to a strong broadening of the peak and a decrease in its amplitude, followed by its disappearance. Thus, the type of boundary conditions is an important factor determining the shape of high-frequency two-dimensional electron flows. Possible explanations within the developed model for the anomalous magnetophotoresistance observed in ultrapure graphene samples and GaAs quantum wells are discussed.

Surface electromagnetic waves in graphene in a static magnetic field have been theoretically studied in the hydrodynamic regime. The antisymmetric conductivity tensor of graphene is obtained taking into account the spatial dispersion arising due to the effect of hydrodynamic pressure. It is shown that the spatial dispersion leads to a uniaxial anisotropy of the graphene conductivity in addition to the gyrotropy of graphene arising in the magnetic field. Dependences of the frequency of magnetoplasmoacoustic waves on the dispersion, magnetic field, and electron density are calculated. At large wave vectors, the magnetoplasmon is transformed into electronic magnetosound with a nearly linear dependence of the frequency on the wave vector. It is shown that the magnetic gyrotropy of graphene does not hybridize the polarization states of magnetoplasmons in the quasielectrostatic regime.

The method of extrapolation of variational calculation results to large model spaces based on an ensemble of artificial neural networks is applied to the study of properties of nuclei with A = 6. Using ab initio No-Core Shell Model (NCSM) calculations with the realistic Daejeon16 NN interaction, we extrapolate the energies and root-mean-square (rms) radii of the point-proton, point-neutron, and point-nucleon (matter) distributions in the ground states of ({}_{{}}^{6}{text{He}}) and ({}_{{}}^{6}{text{Li}}) nuclei. We perform pioneering extrapolations of energies and rms radii of resonant states, in particular, of the ({}_{{}}^{6}{text{Be}}~) ground state and of the excited states (0⁺, 1) and (3⁺, 0) of ({}_{{}}^{6}{text{Li}}).

The interaction of neutrinos with an energy of up to 55 MeV from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator with a promising ¹²⁷I detector at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (United States) has been studied. The resonance structure of the charge-exchange strength function S(E) has been calculated taking into account high-lying resonances, and the effect of this structure on the cross section σ(E) for the accelerator neutrino capture by the ¹²⁷I nucleus has been examined. The influence of the Gamow–Teller resonance GTR-1 and the second new higher resonance GTR-2 on the energy dependence of the cross section σ(E) has been analyzed. The effect of the high-lying analog resonance AR-2 has also been taken into account for the first time. It has been found that the contributions of GTR-1, GTR-2, and AR-2 to the calculated cross section σ(E) are from 60% to ≈80%, about 12%, and ≤10%, respectively. The contribution of high-lying resonances to the (ν, n) and (ν, 2n) neutrino capture cross sections with neutron emission and the formation of the ¹²⁶I and ¹²⁵I isotopes, respectively, has been analyzed. The comparison of the cross sections for the interaction of accelerator neutrinos calculated by different methods with experimental data has shown coincidence at energies below the neutron separation threshold E_x < S_1n and strong discrepancy at higher energies, which is difficult to explain. A new measurement of cross sections at energies E_x > S_1n is needed.

The values of the Hubble constant obtained from the data on the early and late Universe differ by 10%, which is about five standard deviations. The DESY collaboration data can help solve this problem. These data are very consistent with the previously obtained refinement of the standard recombination theory, and the value of the Hubble constant H₀ = 73.5 km/s/Mpc from measurements in the late Universe.

The radiation of a quantum particle in a thermostatic electromagnetic field with a nonzero photon density in the presence of a strong Stark interaction between the particle and field is considered. New fundamental effects—the suppression of radiation by the Stark interaction in an intense broadband field and an additional “decay” shift in the energy of the decaying level, which is different from the Lamb and Stark level shifts—have been established. A new effect of the suppression of radiation is complementary to the effect of suppression of the polarization relaxation of the quantum particle in a squeezed field, which is discovered earlier by Gardiner. The new effect can occur independently of the effect established by Gardiner.
