Andreev bound state spectroscopy of a quantum-dot-based Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with superconducting terminals

This paper analytically and numerically demonstrates that a quantum-dot-based Aharonov-Bohm interferometer with superconducting terminals is spectrally equivalent to a simpler side-coupled system, revealing how geometric factors and side-mode competition govern Andreev bound state spectra and induce a Josephson diode effect.

Interplay of Zeeman Splitting and Tunnel Coupling in Coherent Spin Qubit Shuttling

This paper demonstrates high-fidelity (99.8%) bucket-brigade spin shuttling in a silicon MOS device and reveals that residual errors are highly sensitive to the ratio between interdot tunnel coupling and Zeeman splitting, a relationship validated by a four-level Hamiltonian model to guide future quantum architecture optimization.

Melting of quantum Hall Wigner and bubble crystals

By combining Corbino-geometry transport experiments in ultraclean GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells with Hartree--Fock elasticity and Kosterlitz--Thouless--Halperin--Nelson--Young melting theory, this study quantitatively predicts the melting temperatures of quantum Hall bubble crystals, thereby validating the defect-mediated melting framework for strongly interacting electronic solids.

Ultra-slow orbital and spin dynamics in an electrically tunable quantum dot molecule

This paper demonstrates the deterministic optical charging and electrical tuning of a quantum dot molecule to create spin-photon interfaces, revealing remarkably long spin-relaxation times and confirming the system's potential for generating multidimensional photonic cluster states.

Ramsey correlation spectroscopy with phase cycling using a single quantum sensor

This paper introduces RESOLUTE, a novel Ramsey correlation spectroscopy protocol utilizing phase cycling and population imbalance storage that extends effective coherence time beyond the standard T2T_2^* limit, enabling the detection of low-frequency signals such as 13^{13}C nuclear spin precession in regimes previously inaccessible to single quantum sensors.
