By leveraging light-hole mixing to create a highly asymmetric lambda system and compensating for differential Stark shifts, the authors demonstrate simultaneous high-fidelity electron-spin control and high-cyclicity optical readout in semiconductor quantum dots, overcoming a key limitation for quantum communication technologies.
This paper demonstrates the real-space imaging and spectroscopic identification of individual quantum Hall quasiparticles in graphene using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, revealing distinct signatures of localized anyons and providing a pathway toward manipulating them.
This study demonstrates that vertical electric fields can deterministically tune layer-specific Hubbard parameters in dual-gated MoSe/WS heterobilayers, enabling the quantitative extraction of layer-dependent on-site Coulomb repulsions and the stabilization of generalized Wigner crystal and stripe phases by shifting the ground state to the WS layer.
This paper demonstrates that defect-engineered 2D MoS2 monolayers, created via soft plasma etching to introduce sulfur vacancies, enable highly sensitive and selective SERS detection of catechol-containing neurotransmitters like dopamine and epinephrine down to sub-nanomolar concentrations, with machine learning algorithms achieving 100% accuracy in distinguishing their spectra.
This paper demonstrates that the topological value of disconnected entanglement entropy in a monitored Rashba nanowire persists for a time linear in system size despite boundary dissipation, a phenomenon driven by the interplay between non-conserved particle number, topological manifold degeneracy, and the eventual poisoning of ballistic quasiparticles.
This paper demonstrates that temperature modulations and gradients can harness depolarizing fields and combine with strain to dynamically control ferroelectric states and induce persistent polar textures without the need for external electrical poling.
This paper demonstrates that residual orbital magnetization, generated by the interplay of local crystal fields and spin-orbit coupling, intrinsically governs the anomalous Hall effect in altermagnets through the generalized Středa relation, challenging the view that their small remanent magnetization is irrelevant to transport phenomena.
This study experimentally determines the absolute bandgap deformation potentials for the indirect and direct bandgaps of bilayer WSe using nanoparticle-induced strain and photoluminescence measurements, revealing that minimal localized strain can significantly enhance its optical brightness and enable direct bandgap conversion.
This study demonstrates that single hydrogen atoms manipulated via scanning tunneling microscopy can be used to engineer and experimentally realize all fundamental non-relativistic magnetic phases, including altermagnetism and Lieb ferrimagnetism, within a single graphene platform.
This paper proposes a scalable altermagnet-superconductor heterostructure platform that enables the creation and rotation-controlled manipulation of Majorana zero modes to implement universal quantum logic gates through braiding.
