We systematically study the efficiency of the intrinsic superconducting diode effect of several pair-density-wave states that can emerge in two-dimensional -wave metallic altermagnets. To this end, we investigate several scenarios using an effective minimal microscopic model and Ginzburg–Landau analysis in order to derive the corresponding pairing phase diagrams. In addition, we examine also whether the presence of a Rashba spin–orbit coupling and an applied external magnetic field are beneficial to this effect in these systems. As a consequence, our results add further support to the fact that altermagnetic materials indeed provide a good platform for the pursuit of finite-momentum superconductivity, which can lead to an optimization of the diode efficiency in some physically interesting situations. The latter phenomenon has been recently proposed to be key in improving the applicability of new energy-efficient quantum electronic devices.

In this paper, we construct an isotropic cosmological model in the theory of gravity in the frame of a flat FLRW spacetime, with the non-metricity tensor and the trace of the energy–momentum tensor. The gravity function is taken to be a quadratic equation, , where and are the arbitrary constants. We constrain the model parameters arising while solving the deceleration parameter as an integration constant together with the present value of the Hubble parameter using the Hubble datasets (OHD), the of 1048 data points, and the joint datasets (OHD + ). The universe model transitions from an early deceleration state to an acceleration in late times. This model also provides the ekpyrotic phase of the universe on the redshift . In this model, the Big Bang is described as a collision of branes, and thus, the Big Bang is not the beginning of time. Before the Big Bang, there is an ekpyrotic phase with the equation of state . In late times, the undeviating Hubble measurements reduce the tension in the reconstructed function. Additionally, we study various physical parameters of the model. Finally, our model describes a quintessence dark energy model at later times.

In the framework of gravity, where gravity emerges from non-metricity , we explore the cosmological implications of its non-minimal coupling to matter. Inspired by the recent success of Chaplygin gas models in explaining dark energy, we consider a background fluid composed of baryonic matter, radiation, and a family of Chaplygin gas variants namely Generalized Chaplygin Gas (GCG), Modified Chaplygin Gas (MCG), and Variable Chaplygin Gas (VCG). We constrain these models with three recent observational datasets: Observational Hubble Data (OHD), Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurements, and Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSO) data. For the QSO dataset, we propose an analytical expression for errors in comoving distance to circumvent the reliance on Monte Carlo simulations. Using kinematic diagnostics such as the deceleration and jerk parameters and Om diagnostic, we assess deviations of the proposed models from CDM. Our joint analysis of the three datasets reveals that the transition redshift from a decelerated to an accelerated expansion of the universe for the GCG, MCG and VCG models is , and respectively, indicating a departure from CDM.

Within this article one finds the statement of the Klein–Gordon problem within the real Hilbert space formalism (HS) in terms of complex wave functions, and in terms of quaternionic wave functions as well. The complex formulation comprises hermitian and non-hermitian cases, while the quaternionic solutions additionally set in motion self-interacting particles. The non-hermitian cases comprise non-conservative processes, while the self-interaction physically implies the increase of the effective mass of the particle, an effect that cannot be reproduced using a complex wave function. The obtained autonomous particle solutions, as well as the Klein problem agree to the previously discovered self-interacting non-relativistic particle, and thus reinforce HS as viable and consistent way to explore open problems in quantum mechanics. Also important, the negative energy problem that plagues the usual formalism is eliminated within this approach.

In this study, we explore the impact of the interacting parameter on dark matter in a model resulting from a parametrization of dark energy density. To ensure a model-independent approach, we treat as a free parameter, avoiding assumptions about the physics of the early Universe or specific recombination models. This approach allows late-time cosmological observations to directly constrain along with other parameters. Using recent measurements from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Year 1, cosmic chronometers (CC) and Pantheon supernova (SNe Ia) data, we uncover a significant effect of the interacting parameter on dark matter. Our analysis reveals that while non-interacting models attribute 68.2% of the cosmic energy density to dark energy, interacting models increase this share to 73.4%. To further probe these differences, we evaluate the evolution of the deceleration parameter for each model, contrasting them against the CDM paradigm and observational data from CC and SNe Ia measurements. Finally, we apply various statistical metrics to rigorously assess the performance of these models.

In this work, we investigate a cosmological scenario with a time-dependent cosmological constant (t) within the spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) framework. Here we study a power-law CDM model characterized by a dynamic cosmological constant expressed as a function of the Hubble parameter and its derivative Using recent observational datasets (DESI BAO, OHD, and PP&SH0ES), we constrain the model’s free parameters and analyze their impact on key cosmological quantities. A Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis of the best-fit value of km/s/Mpc from PP&SH0ES analysis only, which substantially alleviates the existing tension between early and late-time determinations of the Hubble constant, reducing it to . The reconstructed diagnostic exhibits a negative slope, indicating a dynamic dark energy behavior with quintessence-like characteristics (). These results suggest that the proposed model provides a viable alternative to the standard CDM paradigm to explain the late-time acceleration of the universe. Our findings show that this model alleviates the Hubble tension more effectively than the standard CDM. The model also demonstrates compatibility with late-time Hubble parameter observations and offers a compelling framework to address the limitations of CDM.

We investigate both intrinsic and extrinsic orbital Hall effects (OHE) in bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in the presence of short-range disorder using quantum kinetic theory. Bilayer TMDs provide an ideal platform to study the effects of inversion symmetry breaking on transport properties due to their unique structural and electronic characteristics. While bilayer TMDs are naturally inversion symmetric, applying a finite gate voltage to create a bias between the layers effectively breaks this symmetry. Our findings reveal that slightly away from the band edges, the extrinsic OHE eventually becomes the dominant contribution in both inversion-symmetric and asymmetric cases, with its prominence increasing significantly as a function of Fermi energy. Furthermore, we demonstrate that breaking inversion symmetry greatly enhances the extrinsic OHE. This enhancement arises from the fundamentally distinct behavior of orbital angular momentum (OAM) in centrosymmetric systems, where intraband components vanish due to symmetry constraints. As a result, in centrosymmetric systems, only the off-diagonal components of the density matrix contribute to the extrinsic OHE. In contrast, in noncentrosymmetric systems, both diagonal and off-diagonal components play a role. Our study suggests that in experimentally relevant highly doped systems, the OHE becomes predominantly extrinsic in both centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmetric although the contribution is much more pronounced in the latter. Importantly, we infer that even a weakly breaking of inversion symmetry can lead to a dramatic enhancement of the OHE, a finding with significant implications for experimental investigations.

The extraction of work from quantum systems is critical in quantum thermodynamics. In the case of homodyne/heterodyne measurement in de Sitter space (dS), we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve entanglement through extracted work in bi- and tripartite Gaussian states. We show that the entanglement detected by extracted work is in good agreement with that quantified by logarithmic negativity. The results indicate that the influence of de Sitter space curvature results in a distribution of quantum entanglement between modes in different open charts. Particularly, we show that the quantum entanglement of the initially correlated state persists up to infinite curvature.
