In as-grown bulk crystals of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ with $x\lesssim0.3$, excess Fe ($y>0$) is inevitable and correlates with a suppression of superconductivity. At the same time, there remains the question as to whether the character…

We suggest a method of entangling significantly the distant ends of a spin chain using minimal control. This entanglement between distant individual spins is brought about solely by exploiting the dynamics of an initial mixed state with…

Fractionalization is a phenomenon in which strong interactions in a quantum system drive the emergence of excitations with quantum numbers that are absent in the building blocks. Outstanding examples are excitations with charge e/3 in the…

The electron spin decay lifetime in materials can be characterized by relaxation (T1) and irreversible (T2) and reversible (T2*) decoherence processes. Their interplay leads to a complex dependence of spin relaxation times on the direction…
