In this work, we experimentally demonstrate two-state fluctuations in a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) device formed out of a metallic atomic force microscopy tip, vacuum gap, and multilayer MoSe$_2$ sample. We show that noise in this…
Consider a quantum system prepared in state $\psi$, a unit vector in a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space. Let $b_1,...,b_d$ be an orthonormal basis and suppose that, with some probability $0<p<1$, $\psi$ ``collapses,'' i.e., gets replaced by…

It has recently been proven that certain effective wavefunctions in fractional quantum mechanics and condensed matter do not have a locally conserved current; as a consequence, their coupling to the electromagnetic field leads to extended…
