Fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect, a lattice analogue of fractional quantum Hall effect, offers a unique pathway toward fault-tolerant quantum computation and deep insights into the interplay of topology and strong…
In a series of recent papers we have proved rigorously that time travel is a reality and very much feasible by using quantum mechanical processes. There are plenty of indirect experimental support untill a direct experiment is conducted.…
In a significant conceptual revision to the tenfold classification scheme for topological insulators and superconductors, it was recently demonstrated that most three-dimensional (3D) classes are simultaneously "localizable" in two…
In this work, we study a Josephson junction with parallel-connected quantum dots (QDs) threaded by a magnetic flux in the central region. We discretize the superconducting (SC) electrode into three discrete energy levels and modify the…
Through extensive self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculations in a tight-binding model of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), we show that many-body effects lead to a considerable increase of the bandwidth of the flat bands and, concomitantly, to…
In this work, we employ a surrogate BCS model with discrete energy levels to investigate a hybrid system comprising two quantum dots (QD1 and QD2), where QD1 is tunnel-coupled to two superconducting leads. Through exact diagonalization of…
Decoupling the global Berry-curvature contribution to the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) from local domain- and texture-related contributions in bulk ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals is difficult in standard measurements. We address this in…
Large-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) realizes a multicomponent quantum Hall (QH) platform of spin, valley and layer pseudospins with strong Coulomb interaction-driven symmetry broken phases. Here, we investigate the low energy…

Hybrid circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) aims at coupling various quantum degrees of freedom, among which are spin and charge degrees of freedom in gate defined quantum dots, phonons or magnons... with quantized electromagnetic fields…
We investigate the transport signatures of pseudo-Landau levels (PLLs) in two-dimensional anisotropic Dirac systems with tilted cones, whose effective bandstructure results from strain-induced pseudogauge fields. In contrast to conventional…
Topological edge states are an attractive starting point for post-CMOS device concepts, but turning them into elementary logic still requires simple architectures with a clear physical mechanism. Here we investigate binary logic in…
Magnomechanical systems provide a promising route for exploring coherent hybrid magnon-phonon interactions and hybrid information processing, but their realization has so far been limited by weak magnon-phonon coupling in conventional bulk…
Optically dark excitonic states play a critical role in the valleytronic, electronic, and optical properties of monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides. Here, we investigate how electrostatic doping affects the in-plane…
Polariton condensates provide a versatile platform for exploring non-equilibrium phase transitions and collective phenomena in open quantum systems. Near the condensation threshold, these systems are particularly sensitive to fluctuations…
Synthetic materials are obtained by assembling atoms or artificial atoms into regular arrays, thereby forming artificial crystals that offer powerful platforms to emulate and explore condensed-matter phenomena in highly controlled settings.…
Atomic-scale disorder shapes the potential energy landscape traversed by photoexcited charge carriers, while the carriers themselves also dynamically reshape this landscape. However, resolving ultrafast photocarrier motion at atomic length…
