The Wiedemann--Franz law, which determines the universality of the ratio of thermal conductivity to electrical conductivity, is studied in the hydrodynamic electron transport regime, where electron--electron scattering predominates over…
In Hermitian impurity scattering, each isolated late-time exponential is the fingerprint of a bound state. We show that this correspondence breaks down in non-Hermitian bands. For a single impurity in a non-Hermitian lattice, the late-time…
Quantum thermodynamics addresses the dynamics of heat flow in quantum devices driven out of equilibrium. Although mesoscopic circuits at low temperatures provide a flexible platform to explore this dynamics, experimental studies are wanting…
Altermagnets represent a novel category of magnetic materials characterized by zero net magnetization yet featuring spin-split band structures, and they demonstrate distinctive orbital-spin locking phenomena. Commencing from the minimal…
We propose a mechanism of supercurrent-induced phonon angular momentum in mixed parity superconductors and s-wave superconductors with spin orbit coupling. We derive analytical expressions of phonon angular momentum induced by the…
We investigate the optical response of a conduction electron in a helically twisted mesoscopic medium containing a screw dislocation and a uniform torsional background, in the presence of an axial magnetic field and an Aharonov--Bohm flux.…
Moir\'e superlattices are generally assumed to act only at the interface where lattice mismatch or twist occurs. Here, we study charge transport in large-angle helical twisted trilayer graphene, where interlayer tunneling is strongly…
A time-dependent theory for the interactions between spatially separated lossy cavities in a homogeneous background medium using quantized quasinormal modes (QNMs) is presented. The cavities interact via a bath of traveling photons,…
We investigate electron paring in two-dimensional electron systems mediated by the vacuum fluctuations of a quantized magnetic flux generated by the inductor of an LC resonator. The interaction induces long-range attractive interactions…
We report gate-controlled quantum-dot transport in a trilayer MoSe2 device that combines a graphite back gate beneath the active region, a separate global gate for conductive access regions, and local top finger gates. In the low-backgate…
The development of compact and highly sensitive microwave detectors compatible with complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) processes is an active research area but remains a major challenge in microwave technology. Spin-torque…
We show that excitons forming between moir\'e flat Chern bands possess a substantial electric dipole moment comparable to the moir\'e lattice parameter times the elementary charge ($\sim10^2$ Debye). At a hole filling factor of one in…
We compute the magnetoelectric conductivity of a semimetal hosting an ideal gapped nodal ring (GNR) in three distinct planar-Hall configurations, in the simultaneous presence of an external electric field $\boldsymbol{E}$, a magnetic field…
The advent of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures has enabled formation of bespoke materials with atomic precision, where numerous quantum and topological phenomena have already been discovered. This atomic-layer tunability, however, comes…
Nonlinear light-matter interaction and, in particular, high-harmonic generation (HHG) are fundamentally interesting and frequently discussed as versatile probes of quantum materials with potential for optical information processing…
We establish a quantitative bulk-boundary correspondence in interacting topological insulators by relating many-body topological invariants to characteristic degeneracy structures in the entanglement spectrum. Focusing on generalized…
The divergence of the electron density of states (DOS) plays an important role in enhancing many-body interactions and inducing various quantum phases in low-dimensional systems. However, such unique electronic structures remain…
Friction forces are conventionally modeled via semiclassical theories that associate energy dissipation with newtonian motion on corrugated interface potentials. This consolidated approach is challenged at the nanoscale by observation of…
We predict a supercurrent-driven N\'eel spin-orbit torque in a superconductor/$d$-wave altermagnet heterostructure, associated with the emergence of spin-triplet correlations. The effect can be understood as a consequence of the…
The geometry of Fermi sea hosts a unique form of quantum topology that governs the conductance quantization of metal and is characterized by the Euler characteristic $\chi_F$, offering a new perspective in the study of topological quantum…
