Spin squeezing protocols successfully generate entangled many-body quantum states, the key pillars of the second quantum revolution. In our recent work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 090403 (2022)] we showed that spin squeezing described by the…

We study effects of the shape of a two-dimensional waveguide on the spin-dependent electron transport in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. The transition from classical motion to the tunneling regime can be controlled there by modulating…
