Hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanostructures are a central component for research spanning condensed matter physics and quantum information processing. Continued progress relies critically on the ability to characterize, control, and…
We demonstrate that the near-field thermal radiation between subwavelength SiC nanowires with square cross sections is dominated by multiple corner and edge resonances rather than the single surface-phonon-polariton channel of planar…
A frequency comb, known for its precision as an "optical ruler", features an evenly spaced spectral pattern. While these combs are vital in photonic quantum technologies, their microwave counterparts are now highly sought after for…
Periodically driven systems host topological phases without static analogs, such as the anomalous Floquet phase characterized by trivial bulk bands yet robust boundary modes. In this work, we investigate the scattering problem of a Floquet…
The use of resonators to modify the behavior of electromagnetic systems demonstrates its potential for application in a wide range of problems. However, existing theoretical studies often resort to the single-mode approximation, rarely…
A recent study showed that, in spin-1 chiral fermion systems composed of two linearly dispersing bands and one trivial band, impurity scattering produces an asymmetric cusp in the spectral conductivity. We demonstrate that this asymmetric…
Rhombohedral multilayer graphene at high displacement fields hosts superconductivity emerging from a spin valley polarized quarter metal, with transport signatures suggestive of time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking and chiral…
Electron scattering by longitudinal acoustic phonons in a quantizing magnetic field is considered. Expressions for the scattering rate in a magnetic field tilted to the quantum well layers are derived. By analyzing these expressions, trends…
Topological pumps offer a promising route to operate as connecting buses, supplying efficient and robust connectivity between non-neighboring elements in a network. Here, we investigate a finite quasiperiodic Fibonacci-type photonic chain…
We study quantum transport in a periodically driven (Floquet) topological system coupled to static fermionic reservoirs. Using the Floquet nonequilibrium Green's-function (NEGF) formalism we show, from exact numerics for a strip geometry,…
Terahertz (THz) technology enables multi-Tbps satellite communications, but conventional semiconductor detectors suffer from fundamental performance degradation above 1 THz due to the Drude limit of free electrons. Here, we theoretically…
Altermagnets can replace ferromagnets in tunnel junctions, yielding large tunneling magnetoresistance, ultrafast switching, and low-power functionality. While most studies explore the linear-response regime, interesting features emerge at…
Spatial variations of the valley splitting in a quantum well present a key challenge for conveyor-mode shuttling of electron spins in Si/SiGe, giving rise to Landau-Zener-like excitations that cause leakage outside the qubit subspace. Here,…
Graphene nano-ribbons, GNRs, are promising channel materials for next-generation ultra-miniaturised devices due to their exceptional electrical and thermal properties which arise from their atomic thickness, as well as their ability to have…
Topological interface states in one-dimensional superlattices provide spatially localized phonon modes protected by the topology of the underlying band structure. In GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), such states can be…
We show that the complete knowledge of the non-Markovian island-state dynamics of a floating Majorana island does not, in general, determine the thermodynamic transport statistics measured in the leads. We demonstrate this statement in a…
Strongly interacting electrons in clean two-dimensional devices are theorized to exhibit many distinct transport regimes, such as ballistic, hydrodynamic, or diffusive. Realistic samples often lie in crossover regimes between these…
Low-energy fermionic excitations in two-dimensional materials deviate from the conventional Schr\"odinger description and are instead governed by Dirac equations. Such Dirac fermions give rise to a variety of unconventional quantum…
We study Andreev-mediated transport and current fluctuations in interacting normal-superconducting quantum-dot systems. Using a generalized master equation based on real-time diagrammatics and full counting statistics, we compute the…
We report the first observation of controlled, strain-induced square moire patterns in stacked graphene. By selectively displacing native wrinkles, we drive a reversible transition from the usual trigonal to square moire order. Scanning…
