This paper analytically derives the steady-state properties, parity leakage, and decoherence rates of a Majorana tetron qubit under extrinsic quasiparticle poisoning, revealing how energy splitting gradually diminishes the exponential suppression of dephasing.
This paper introduces "tape-recorder coarse graining," an adaptive method that reorganizes environmental modes into active and outgoing sets with stochastic truncation, enabling efficient long-time simulations of interacting fermionic transport while providing rigorous, nonperturbative error bounds on the full device-reservoir state.
The paper proposes a novel micromechanical qubit design utilizing quantized oscillations in superfluid helium, which leverages charge-neutral Josephson tunneling to achieve discrete energy levels and millisecond-scale coherence times at millikelvin temperatures.
This study reveals that the electrical conductance of quasi-one-dimensional molecular wires assembled from metal superatoms can anomalously increase with length when structured as bundles, a phenomenon driven by Fermi level alignment that reduces the tunneling barrier and offers a new strategy for regulating molecular-scale circuitry.
This paper introduces a non-invasive nuclear spin-based spectroscopy technique for low-strain GaAs/AlGaAs epitaxial quantum dots, enabling the detailed characterization of few-electron energy spectra and many-body states to establish a new regime for optically active electron spin qubits with extended coherence.
This paper proposes two protocols utilizing local spin qubits, such as NV centers in diamond, to extend magnetic noise sensing beyond the Gaussian regime by enabling the spatially resolved measurement of higher-order noise cumulants and non-Markovian dynamics in quantum materials.
This paper proposes a novel method to accurately characterize valley coupling in Si/SiGe quantum dots by combining -factor measurements with valley phase information, specifically utilizing measurements around a valley vortex to overcome the statistical overestimation inherent in standard sampling approaches.
Motivated by recent experiments, this paper identifies a valley-coherent charge density wave (VC-CDW) as a universal stripe order in quarter-metal states of chirally stacked -layer graphene, demonstrating how its symmetry properties depend on layer parity and how it can coexist with anomalous Hall order to lift valley degeneracy under displacement fields.
This paper introduces the Trimer Thouless Pump, a minimal three-band generalization of the Rice-Mele model that enables genuinely multigap topological charge transport mediated by a geometrically active middle band, with a proposed experimental realization using ultracold atoms in optical superlattices.
This paper establishes the rigorous conditions under which momentum-dependent similarity transformations preserve the bulk spectral properties of non-Hermitian lattice systems with open boundary conditions, specifically requiring the generalized Brillouin zone to lie within the smallest zero of the transformation's determinant and the absence of critical non-Hermitian skin effects, thereby clarifying when bulk topological invariants in transformed coordinates reliably predict boundary physics.
