New preprint! Non-reciprocal interactions don’t arise from a potential. Yet, we found a way to encode them in a Hamiltonian, which captures the phase transitions of non-reciprocal systems! With Yubo Shi, Roderich Moessner, and @marinbukov.bsky.social @mpipks.bsky.social. arxiv.org/pdf/2505.05246

A new protocol for engineering hierarchical symmetries using external drives opens a new path to stabilizing quantum states in quantum computers and simulators - research by Z. Fu, R. Moessner, H. Zhao, @marinbukov.bsky.social now published in Phys. Rev. X: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.14.041070.
