By combining optical spin injection techniques with transport spectroscopy tools, we demonstrate a spin-photodetector allowing for the electrical measurement and active filtering of conduction band electron spin at room temperature in a…
We introduce a previously unknown spin-related transport phenomenon, consisting in a transformation (swapping) of spin currents, in which the spin direction and the direction of flow are interchanged. Swapping is due to the spin-orbit…
Presented is a prediction, based on the Frenet-Serret differential geometry of space curves, that the wave number dependence of the average kinetic energy per unit length of two mutually interacting highly curved quantum vortex scales as…
For systems described by the two-site Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we show that a sinusoidal modulation of the tunneling matrix element assists higher-order co-tunneling processes. Using this mechanism, we propose an efficient new scheme for…
Emergent anyons are the key elements of the topological quantum computation and topological quantum memory. We study a two-component fermion model with conventional two-body interaction in an open boundary condition and show that several…
In the framework of the time dependent local density approximation, applied to valence electrons, coupled non-adiabatically to molecular dynamics of ions, the irradiations of ethylene by laser and fast charged projectiles are studied. We…
The semiclassical equations of motion for a Bloch electron include an anomalous velocity term analogous to a $k$-space "Lorentz force", with the Berry connection playing the role of a vector potential. By examining the adiabatic evolution…
We consider the high-density-limit correlation energy $\Ec$ in $D \ge 2$ dimensions for the $^1S$ ground states of three two-electron systems: helium (in which the electrons move in a Coulombic field), spherium (in which they move on the…
We show that the exact wave function for two electrons, interacting through a Coulomb potential but constrained to remain on the surface of a $\mathcal{D}$-sphere ($\mathcal{D} \ge 1$), is a polynomial in the interelectronic distance $u$…
We have performed a comprehensive study of the singlet ground state of two electrons on the surface of a sphere of radius $R$. We have used electronic structure models ranging from restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock theory to…
Experimentally observed grey solitons are analytically extracted from a physically viable \GP equation. Associated Lieb and Bogoliubov modes are calculated for these class of solitons. It is observed that, these nonlinear excitations have…
We present a rigorous derivation of a real space Full-Potential Multiple-Scattering-Theory (FP-MST), valid both for continuum and bound states, that is free from the drawbacks that up to now have impaired its development, in particular the…
We study the stability of singly- and doubly-quantized vortex states of harmonically trapped dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) by calculating the low-lying excitations of these condensates. We map the dynamical stability of these…
We investigate the structure of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with long-range anisotropic dipolar interactions. We find that a small perturbation in the trapping potential can lead to dramatic changes in the condensate's density…
We develop a theoretical formalism to model the linear spectrum of a quantum dot embedded in a high quality cavity, in presence of an arbitrary mechanism modifying the homogeneous spectrum of the quantum dot. Within the simple assumption of…
We consider the thermodynamics of a homogeneous superfluid dilute Bose gas in the presence of weak quenched disorder. Following the zero-temperature approach of Huang and Meng, we diagonalize the Hamiltonian of a dilute Bose gas in an…
The two dimensional Thomas-Fermi approximation is applied to the problem of parabolic quantum dot composed of N electrons and an on-center impurity. Change induced by impurity on electron density, chemical potential and total energy is…
I show that in low dimensions the interactions in dilute Bose mixtures are strongly renormalized, which leads to a considerable change of stability conditions compared to the mean-field results valid in the high-density regime. Estimates…
The influence of a weak random potential on the collective modes of a trapped interacting Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature is calculated in the limit when the correlation length of the disorder is smaller than the healing length…
A dynamical many-body theory is presented which systematically extends beyond mean-field and perturbative quantum-field theoretical procedures. It allows us to study the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum-degenerate atomic gases. The…
