We propose a scheme to produce spin entangled states for two interacting electrons. One electron is bound in a well in a semiconductor quantum wire and the second electron is transported along the wire, trapped in a surface acoustic wave…
Bound states are dissipation-resilient states that may emerge when quantum systems are strongly coupled to reservoirs with band gaps. We analyze an exactly solvable bosonic model for bound state existence and reproduce these results by a…
The quantum spin Hall state can be understood in terms of spontaneous O(3) symmetry breaking. Topological skyrmion configurations of the O(3) order parameter vector carry a charge 2e, and as shown previously, when they condense, a…
