We investigate a non-Hermitian Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring system with a quantum dot (QD) embedded in each of its two arms. The energy levels of the QDs are complex in order to take into account the physical gain or loss of the ring system…

Electron transport through a spin-orbit-coupled quantum ring is investigated within linear response theory. We show that the finite width of the ring results in the appearance of Fano resonances in the conductance. This turns out to be a…
Surface electrons of strong topological insulator wires acquire a Berry phase difference of $\pi$ on orbiting the wire. This can be detected in response of clean wires (whose Fermi level is tuned to the Dirac point) to the presence of the…
Magnetic oscillations of Dirac surface states of topological insulators are expected to be associated with the formation of Landau levels or the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We instead study the conductance of Dirac surface states subjected to an…

Spin superconductor (SSC) is an exciton condensate state where the spin-triplet exciton superfluidity is charge neutral while spin $2(\hbar/2)$. In analogy to the Majorana zero mode (MZM) in topological superconductors, the interplay…
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect was convincingly demonstrated using a micro-sized toroidal magnet but it is almost always explained using an infinitely-long solenoid or an infinitely-long flux line. The main reason for this is that the formal…
