Emergent vortices at a ferromagnetic superconducting oxide interface by Petrović, A P, Paré, A, Paudel, T R, Lee, K, Holmes, S, Barnes, C H W, David, A, Wu, T, Tsymbal, E Y, Panagopoulos, C

“…This hysteresis is argued to arise from vortex depinning within a thin (< 20 nm) superconducting layer, mediated by discrete ferromagnetic dipoles located solely above the layer. The pinning strength may be modified by varying the superconducting channel thickness via electric field-effect doping. …”

On fundamental aspects of quantum extreme learning machines by Xiong, W, Facelli, G, Sahebi, M, Agnel, O, Chotibut, T, Thanasilp, S, Holmes, Z

“…Notably, the expressivity of QELMs is fundamentally limited by the number of Fourier frequencies and the number of observables, while the complexity of the prediction hinges on the reservoir. As a cautionary note on scalability, we identify four sources that can lead to the exponential concentration of the observables as the system size grows (randomness, hardware noise, entanglement, and global measurements) and show how this can turn QELMs into useless input-agnostic oracles. …”

Construction of 2,6-trans pyrans via Prins cyclization and its application towards the total synthesis of methyl sarcophytoate by Hu, Xuhong

“…Prins cyclization reaction involving a homoallylic alcohol with aldehyde is one of the most efficient methods to synthesize tetrahydropyran rings. However, due to the strong 1,3-diaxial interaction, the 2,6-cis tetrahydropyran moiety was formed preferably in most cases. …”

Palladium-catalyzed enantioselective arylation of racemic ketones to form bridged bicycles via dynamic kinetic resolution by Huang, Xiaolei, Oh, William Ray Jun Jie, Zhou, Steve Jianrong

“…Enantioselective α‐arylation of racemic ketones containing existing α′‐stereocenters is reported for the first time via base‐induced dynamic kinetic resolution. Bridged bicyclic rings are formed in good ee values, which are difficult to obtain otherwise. …”
