Symmetry breaking for semiconductor photocatalysis by Di, Jun, Jiang, Wei, Liu, Zheng

“…The detailed contributions of symmetry breaking to the increased photocatalytic activity are intensely discussed and summarized based on the location of symmetry breaking; namely, spontaneous symmetry breaking in the material interior, localized symmetry breaking on the material surface, and external-field-induced symmetry breaking beyond the material.…”

Phase-dependent strategy to mimic quantum phase transitions by Yuan Zhou, Lian-Zhen Cao, Qing-Lan Wang, Chang-Sheng Hu, Zhu-Cheng Zhang, Wei Xiong

“…Assisted by a dichromatic optical drive with a phase-dependent control, this spin ensemble can effectively mimic different types of long-range Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick (LMG) interactions and then undergo quantum phase transitions (QPTs) due to phase-induced spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). In addition, this phase-controlled scheme also ensures the dynamical preparation of the spin-squeezed state (SSS), which may be a useful application in quantum measurement. …”
