Artificial crystals such as moir\'e superlattices can have a real-space periodicity much larger than the underlying atomic scale. This facilitates the presence of Bloch oscillations in the presence of a static electric field. We demonstrate…

From the pioneering work of Winter [Phys. Rev. 124, 452 (1961)], a magnetic domain wall of Bloch type is known to host a special wall-bound spin-wave mode, which corresponds to spin-waves being channeled along the magnetic texture. Using…

A transmon qubit embedded in a high-impedance environment acts in a way dual to a conventional Josephson junction. In analogy to the AC Josephson effect, biasing of the transmon by a direct current leads to the oscillations of voltage…
