We propose to generate heat pulses in mesoscopic conductors using light fields. In contrast to single-electron excitations such as levitons, which are created by accurate voltage drives, our approach relies on modulating the temperature of…

We develop a nonequilibrium Green's function theory for dispersion interactions between two nanostructures, each an open quantum system driven into a nonequilibrium steady state by an applied bias voltage. Starting from the two-particle…

The recent discovery of the 3D quantum Hall effect in $\mathrm{HfTe_5}$ has also revealed puzzling signatures of possible 3D fractionalization. Beyond the first plateau associated with the lowest Landau band, Hall conductivity exhibits a…

We uncover hierarchy of topological phases within the synthetic Brillouin zone of a three-terminal Josephson junction's (3-TJJ's) Bogoliubov-de Gennes spectrum. We demonstrate that the above-gap continuum realizes a Chern insulator phase…

In collinear altermagnets, the real-space rotational symmetry of opposite spin sublattices generates a large nonrelativistic spin-splitter current. Orbital transport in this setting has remained largely unexplored. Here, we introduce the…

We investigate the coherent exciton spin dynamics in a single InAlAs/AlGaAs quantum dot using time-resolved quantum state tomography. Under two-LO-phonon quasi-resonant excitation of neutral exciton, we observe pronounced quantum beats in…

We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics and loss of coherence in a quantum impurity system using the spinless resonant level model subject to sudden quenches of the hybridization between the impurity and the metal. The survival…

Altermagnets host chirally split magnons that promise unique functionalities for information processing. However, their distinctive transport signatures, crucial for experimental identification and manipulation, remain elusive. Here, we…

We study the duality between quasi-particle and electron tunneling in point-contact geometries of fractional quantum Hall states. To treat non-Abelian edge operators, we introduce a "phase-shift instanton" that incorporates phase factors…

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) and their thin-films are increasingly used in electronic and photonic devices replacing traditional bulk semiconductors. However, thermal properties of the QDs are comparatively underexplored relative to device…

In this paper we theoretically and numerically investigate transport signatures of quantum interference on the current through a single molecule magnet transistor tunnel coupled to oppositely polarized leads in the presence of a local…

Motivated by the indications of high-Tc superconductivity in natural graphite enriched in the rhombohedral phase, we study the band structure of several stacking configurations that combine two of the three graphite structures as well as…

Electrochemical metallization (ECM) memristors have potential applications in future neuromorphic computing hardware. The set, reset, and variable-resistance features of these devices originate in the formation and breakup of metal…

In this work, we provide a complete description of the scattering matrix elements and electron energy spectrum in one dimensional PT-symmetric hybrid finite systems, using the characteristic determinant approach. We present an analytical…

We study quantum tunneling through a potential barrier whose height fluctuates in time and is modeled by Gaussian white noise. We map the stochastic dynamics onto an equivalent time-independent Lindblad equation for the density matrix,…

Proximity-induced superconductivity in low-dimensional systems offers a powerful pathway to engineer topological superconducting phases in, otherwise, non-superconducting systems. These exotic phases are of fundamental and technological…

Formation of nonequilibrium counterparts of supersolids, simultaneously characterized with spontaneous superfluid and crystalline order, was recently reported in incoherently pumped polariton condensates. We investigate collective…

We investigate the electronic transport properties of a superconductor-quantum dot-superconductor Josephson junction coupled to a ferromagnetic metal reservoir in the presence of an external magnetic field. The device is described by an…

We demonstrate that an anisotropic and rotated Fermi surface can generate a finite transverse response in electron transport, even in the absence of a magnetic field or Berry curvature. Using a two-dimensional continuum model, we show that…

Self-sustained oscillators play a central role in the stabilization and synchronization of complex dynamical systems. A number of different physical systems are currently being investigated to clarify the importance of such active…
