This paper demonstrates that topological insulator-based single-electron transistors function as effective, magnetic-field-compatible charge sensors capable of detecting proximity charges and Zeeman-shifted trap states, thereby establishing a critical foundation for their future integration into hybrid devices for Majorana zero mode detection and braiding.
This paper introduces a material-agnostic platform using high-overtone bulk acoustic wave resonators (HBARs) to directly characterize spin-phonon interactions in complex crystalline materials at millikelvin temperatures, enabling the study of coupling strength and anisotropy with minimal fabrication constraints to advance hybrid quantum systems.
This paper introduces soliton_solver, an open-source, GPU-accelerated Python package that utilizes a modular, theory-agnostic architecture to efficiently simulate and visualize topological solitons across diverse two-dimensional non-linear field theories.
This study demonstrates that oxygen diffusion from lithography resist during the lift-off fabrication of Niobium nanowires causes the superconducting transition width to broaden as wire width decreases, while confirming that these devices behave as two-dimensional superconductors suitable for high-temperature hybrid quantum applications.
This paper investigates topological phase transitions in Haldane and Kane-Mele models with six-fold rotation symmetry, demonstrating that while the Concentric Wilson Loop Spectrum successfully identifies topological properties where conventional invariants fail, the resulting topology for the six-fold symmetric system is fragile rather than robust.
This paper presents a theoretical framework demonstrating that interface excitons at lateral transition metal dichalcogenide heterojunctions exhibit tunable linear photoluminescence polarization exceeding 10%, driven by trigonal warping and energy-dependent effective masses, which can be further controlled via external in-plane electric fields.
This paper demonstrates that H-stacked WSe2/WS2 moiré superlattices, by enhancing intersite exciton repulsion through a quadrupolar charge distribution, stabilize robust, valley-polarized excitonic Mott states and doublons with significantly extended lifetimes compared to R-stacked counterparts.
This paper establishes a reproducible molecular beam epitaxy process for growing high-quality thin films and nanostructures, revealing a novel kinetic-driven "selective stoichiometric shift" and intrinsic structural asymmetry that provide fundamental insights for integrating topological materials into hybrid quantum architectures.
This paper demonstrates that an induced mass term serves as a tunable control parameter in periodically driven graphene, governing the amplitude, sign, and resonance structure of current oscillations while suppressing Josephson-like effects as the gap increases, thereby offering potential applications in THz nanoelectronics and optically controlled quantum switches.
This paper demonstrates that combining interlayer coupling, hopping anisotropy, and off-resonant circularly polarized light in an AB-stacked bilayer Haldane lattice enables controlled transitions among Dirac, semi-Dirac, and higher-Chern insulating phases, where the merging of Dirac points and valley-selective band inversions driven by light helicity reshape the topological phase space and allow for dynamically tunable quantized anomalous Hall responses.
