The quantum speed limits (QSLs) set fundamental lower bounds on the time required for a quantum system to evolve from a given initial state to a final state. In this work, we investigate <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>C</mi><mi>P</mi></math> violation and the mass ordering problem of neutrino oscillations in matter using the QSL time as a key analytical tool. We examine the QSL time for the unitary evolution of two- and three-flavor neutrino states, both in vacuum and in the presence of matter. Two-flavor neutrino oscillations are used as a precursor to their three-flavor counterparts. We further compute the QSL time for neutrino state evolution and entanglement in terms of neutrino survival and oscillation probabilities, which are experimentally measurable quantities in neutrino experiments. A difference in the QSL time between the normal and inverted mass ordering scenarios, for neutrino state evolution as well as for entanglement, under the effect of a <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>C</mi><mi>P</mi></math> violation phase is observed. Our results are illustrated using the length scales and energies of ongoing long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiments such as T2K, NOvA, and the upcoming DUNE experiment. Notably, three-flavor neutrino oscillations in constant matter density exhibit faster state evolution across all these neutrino experiments in the normal mass ordering scenario. Additionally, we observe fast entanglement suppression in DUNE assuming a normal mass ordering.

We reveal a low-temperature equivalence between the hyperbolic lattice model featuring fractons and infinite decoupled copies of Zabrodin’s $\textit{p}$-adic model of AdS/CFT. The core of the equivalence is the subsystem symmetries of the hyperbolic fracton model, which always act on both the boundary and the bulk. These subsystem symmetries are associated with fractal trees embedded in the hyperbolic lattice, which have the same geometry as Zabrodin’s model. The fracton model, rewritten as electrostatics theory on these trees, matches the equation of motion of Zabrodin’s model. The equivalence extends from the action to lattice defects as $\textit{p}$-adic black holes.

The arrival time of electromagnetic signals traveling in chiral cosmic media is investigated in the context of Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw electrodynamics. Considering the interstellar medium (ISM) as a cold, ionized, chiral plasma, we derive the time delay between two traveling signals, expressed in terms of a modified dispersion measure (DM) which receives additional contribution from the chiral parameters. Faraday rotation angle is also addressed in this chiral plasma scenario, yielding modified rotation measures (RM). Using DMs data from five pulsars, we establish constraints on the chiral parameter magnitude at the order of <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>23</mn></mrow></msup><mi>–</mi><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>22</mn></mrow></msup><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><mi>GeV</mi></mrow></math>.

Based on the holographic duality, we construct the new <italic>p</italic>-wave metal/superconductor phase transitions triggered by the electric and magnetic fields. Especially, using the axion field, we introduce simultaneously the spontaneous (SBT) and explicit (EBT) breaking of translation and then investigate how the SBT and EBT corrections influence on the critical temperature, vector condensate and the optical conductivity. Concretely, for the case with pure electric field, both the EBT correction with weak SBT correction and the SBT correction lower the critical temperature <math altimg='si1.svg'><msub><mrow><mi>T</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>c</mi></mrow></msub></math> and soften the energy gap. Interestingly, for the strong enough SBT correction, the increasing EBT correction enhances firstly and then inhibits the phase transition. Meanwhile, the increasing EBT correction suppresses the SBT effect on <math altimg='si1.svg'><msub><mrow><mi>T</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>c</mi></mrow></msub></math>. At the lowest Landau energy level, the stronger SBT correction suppresses the phase transition for the weak magnetic field, whose inhibiting effect is finally eliminated by the strong enough magnetic field. The monotonic dependence of <math altimg='si1.svg'><msub><mrow><mi>T</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>c</mi></mrow></msub></math> on the EBT correction only exists for the weak SBT correction. For the Landau energy level in the excited state, the monotonic dependence of <math altimg='si1.svg'><msub><mrow><mi>T</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>c</mi></mrow></msub></math> on the EBT correction vanishes for the intermediate SBT correction with large magnetic field.
