text: We investigate how the critical driving amplitude at the Floquet many-body
localized (MBL) to ergodic phase transition differs between smooth and nonsmooth
drives. To this end, we numerically study a disordered spin-1/2 chain which is
periodically driven by a sine or square-wave drive over a wide range of driving
frequencies. In both cases the critical driving amplitude increases monotonically
with the frequency, and at large frequencies it is identical for the two drives.
However, at low and intermediate frequencies the critical amplitude of the square-wave
drive depends strongly on the frequency, while that of the sinusoidal drive is
almost constant over a wide frequency range. By analyzing the density of drive-induced
resonances we conclude that this difference is due to resonances induced by the
higher harmonics which are present (absent) in the Fourier spectrum of the square-wave
(sine) drive. Furthermore, we suggest a numerically efficient method for estimating
the frequency dependence of the critical driving amplitudes for different drives
which is based on calculating the density of drive-induced resonances. We conclude
that delocalization occurs once the density of drive-induced resonances reaches
a critical value determined only by the static system.

text: We present conductance-matrix measurements in long, three-terminal hybrid
superconductor-semiconductor nanowires, and compare with theoretical predictions
of a magnetic-field-driven, topological quantum phase transition. By examining
the nonlocal conductance, we identify the closure of the excitation gap in the
bulk of the semiconductor before the emergence of zero-bias peaks, ruling out
spurious gap-closure signatures from localized states. We observe that after the
gap closes, nonlocal signals and zero-bias peaks fluctuate strongly at both ends,
inconsistent with a simple picture of clean topological superconductivity.

text: We study a mobile quantum impurity, possessing internal rotational degrees
of freedom, confined to a ring in the presence of a many-particle bosonic bath.
By considering the recently introduced rotating polaron problem, we define the
Hamiltonian and examine the energy spectrum. The weak-coupling regime is studied
by means of a variational ansatz in the truncated Fock space. The corresponding
spectrum indicates that there emerges a coupling between the internal and orbital
angular momenta of the impurity as a consequence of the phonon exchange. We interpret
the coupling as a phonon-mediated spin-orbit coupling and quantify it by using
a correlation function between the internal and the orbital angular momentum operators.
The strong-coupling regime is investigated within the Pekar approach, and it is
shown that the correlation function of the ground state shows a kink at a critical
coupling, that is explained by a sharp transition from the noninteracting state
to the states that exhibit strong interaction with the surroundings. The results
might find applications in such fields as spintronics or topological insulators
where spin-orbit coupling is of crucial importance.

text: "Superconductor insulator transition in transverse magnetic field is studied
in the highly disordered MoC film with the product of the Fermi momentum and the
mean free path kF*l close to unity. Surprisingly, the Zeeman paramagnetic effects
dominate over orbital coupling on both sides of the transition. In superconducting
state it is evidenced by a high upper critical magnetic field \U0001D435\U0001D4502,
by its square root dependence on temperature, as well as by the Zeeman splitting
of the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) measured by scanning tunneling microscopy.
At \U0001D435\U0001D4502 a logarithmic anomaly in DOS is observed. This anomaly
is further enhanced in increasing magnetic field, which is explained by the Zeeman
splitting of the Altshuler-Aronov DOS driving\r\nthe system into a more insulating
or resistive state. Spin dependent Altshuler-Aronov correction is also needed
to explain the transport behavior above \U0001D435\U0001D4502."

text: In the superconducting regime of FeTe(1−x)Sex, there exist two types of vortices
which are distinguished by the presence or absence of zero-energy states in their
core. To understand their origin, we examine the interplay of Zeeman coupling
and superconducting pairings in three-dimensional metals with band inversion.
Weak Zeeman fields are found to suppress intraorbital spin-singlet pairing, known
to localize the states at the ends of the vortices on the surface. On the other
hand, an orbital-triplet pairing is shown to be stable against Zeeman interactions,
but leads to delocalized zero-energy Majorana modes which extend through the vortex.
In contrast, the finite-energy vortex modes remain localized at the vortex ends
even when the pairing is of orbital-triplet form. Phenomenologically, this manifests
as an observed disappearance of zero-bias peaks within the cores of topological
vortices upon an increase of the applied magnetic field. The presence of magnetic
impurities in FeTe(1−x)Sex, which are attracted to the vortices, would lead to
such Zeeman-induced delocalization of Majorana modes in a fraction of vortices
that capture a large enough number of magnetic impurities. Our results provide
an explanation for the dichotomy between topological and nontopological vortices
recently observed in FeTe(1−x)Sex.
