The design and study of hybrid qubits is driven by their ability to get along the best of charge qubits and of spin qubits, {\em i.e.} the speed of operation of the former and the very slow decoherence rates of the latter ones. There are…

Resonances in quantum mechanics are commonly introduced as quasi-bound states embedded in the continuum, a perspective that can be conceptually challenging due to the abstract nature of continuum states. In this work, we discuss an…
