Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent theoretical work predicted emergence of chiral topological superconducting phase with spontaneously broken time reversal symmetry in a twisted bilayer composed of two high-$T_c$ cuprate monolayers, such as Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. Here we identify large intrinsic Hall response that can be probed through the polar Kerr effect measurement as a convenient signature of the $\mathcal{T}$-broken phase. Our modelling predicts the Kerr angle $\theta_K$ to be in the range of 10-100 $\mu$rad, which is a factor of $10^3-10^4$ times larger than what is expected for the leading chiral supercondutor candidate Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. In addition we show that the optical Hall conductivity $\sigma_H(\omega)$ can be used to distinguish between the topological $d_{x^2-y^2}\pm id_{xy}$ phase and the $d_{x^2-y^2}\pm is$ phase which is also expected to be present in the phase diagram but is topologically trivial.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
