Abstract The pion, as the Goldstone boson of the strong interaction, is the lightest QCD bound state and responsible for the long-range nucleon-nucleon interaction inside the nucleus. Our knowledge on the pion partonic structure is limited by the existing Drell-Yan data which are primarily sensitive to the pion valence-quark distributions. The recent progress of global analysis of pion’s parton distribution functions (PDFs) utilizing various experimental approaches are introduced. From comparis

Abstract Graph states are one of the most significant classes of entangled states, serving as the quantum resources for quantum technologies. Recently, integrated quantum photonics is becoming a promising platform for quantum information processing, enabling the generation, manipulation, and measurement of photonic quantum states. This article summarizes state-of-the-art experimental progress and advances in the chip-based photonic graph states. 1 Introduction Ever since its discovery, entangle

Abstract We present a microscopic many-body calculation of the nonlinear two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (2DCS) of trion-polaritons and exciton-polaritons in charge-tunable transition-metal-dichalcogenides monolayers placed in an optical microcavity. The charge tunability leads to an electron gas with nonzero density that brings brightness to the trion — a polaron quasiparticle formed by an exciton with a nonzero residue bounded to the electron gas. As a result, a trion-polariton is creat

3 Relaunch of Asian Network on Condensed Matter, Complex Systems and Statistical Physics 2023–2026 by Paul A. Pearce and Sergej Flach The Asian Network on Condensed Matter, Complex Systems and Statistical Physics (https://pcs.ibs.re.kr/ICTP_Asian_Network/ICTP_Asian_Network.html) was initially launched in 2017 and ran for the 3-year period 2017–2019. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the Network underwent a hiatus for 3 years from 2020 to 2022. We are now pleased to announce that, starting from 3

2 Panel on “Asia & Pacific: achievements in the region and expectations from IUPAP” by Kuijuan Jin, Mihoko Nojiri, Sunil Gupta, and Leong Chuan Kwek In conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), members of Asia Pacific region organized a successful panel discussion at the main celebration event in Trieste on July 12, 2022. The panelists were William J. Munro (NTT, Japan), Xiaoyen Shen, Venu Gopal Achanta (Tata Institute of Fundamental

1 Institut Fizik Malaysia: the first fifty years by Bernardine R. Wong and Meng-Hock Koh 1.1 Introduction This year, 2023, marks a significant milestone in the history of physics in Malaysia. The Malaysian Institute of Physics (Institut Fizik Malaysia, IFM) was formed on January 29, 1973, and celebrates its golden jubilee this year. This article briefly traces the formation of IFM against the backdrop of physics in Malaysia, highlights some of the achievements and sketches possible future direc
