Spin-entanglement of two electrons occupying two spatial regions -- domains -- is expressed in a compact form in terms of spin-spin correlation functions. The power of the formalism is demonstrated on several examples ranging from…
We calculate that the electron states of strained self-assembled Ge/Si quantum dots provide a convenient two-state system for electrical control. An electronic state localized at the apex of the quantum dot is nearly degenerate with a state…
We study the interlayer pairing states in layered systems of two different 2d electronic subsystems, one with relativistic linear and the other with non-relativistic parabolic spectrum. The complex order parameter of the paired state has a…
