We investigate the effect of spin-orbit interaction on the intra- and interdot particle dynamics of a double quantum dot under ac electric fields. The former is modeled as an effective ac magnetic field that produces electric-dipole spin…
$\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulators for photons and in general bosons cannot be strictly implemented because of the lack of symmetry-protected pseudospins. We show that the required protection can be provided by the real-space topological…
We investigate the effects of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and valley mixing on the transport and dynamical properties of a carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dot in the Kondo regime. As these perturbations break the pseudo-spin symmetry in the…
Selective control over the emission pattern of valley-polarized excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides is crucial for developing novel valleytronic, quantum information, and optoelectronic devices. While significant progress…
We present a systematic study of interface roughness and its effect on coherent dynamical processes in quantum dots. The potential due to a sharp, flat interface lifts the degeneracy of the lowest energy valleys and yields a set of valley…
Dopants in crystalline silicon such as phosphorus (Si:P) have electronic and nuclear spins with exceptionally long coherence times making them promising platforms for quantum computing and quantum sensing. The demonstration of single-spin…
We present a theoretical analysis of dynamic spin injection due to spin-dependent tunneling between a quantum well (QW) and a bound state split in spin projection due to an exchange interaction or external magnetic field. We focus on the…
We develop a theory of electron tunneling accompanied by carrier-carrier scattering in graphene - insulator - graphene heterostructures. Due to the dynamic screening of Coulomb interaction, the scattering-aided tunneling is resonantly…
Electron spin-qubits in silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterostructures are a major candidate for the realization of scalable quantum computers. A critical challenge in strained Si/SiGe quantum wells (QWs) is the existence of two nearly…
Coherent control and manipulation of quantum degrees of freedom such as spins forms the basis of emerging quantum technologies. In this context, the robust valley degree of freedom and the associated valley pseudospin found in…
Randomly-doped silicon has many competitive advantages for quantum computation; not only is it fast to fabricate but it could naturally contain high numbers of qubits and logic gates as a function of doping densities. We determine the…
Non-equilibrium transport through a quantum dot with one spin-split single-particle level is studied in the cotunneling regime at low temperatures. The Coulomb diamond can be subdivided into parts differing in at least one of two respects:…
We present a scalable protocol for suppressing errors during electron spin shuttling in silicon quantum dots. The approach maps the valley Hamiltonian to a Landau-Zener problem to model the nonadiabatic dynamics in regions of small valley…
The band structure of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with valence band edges at different locations in the momentum space could be harnessed to build devices that operate relying on the valley degree of freedom. To realize such…
Spatial heterogeneity and phase competition are hallmarks of strongly-correlated materials, promising tunable functionality on the nanoscale. Light-induced switching of a correlated insulator to a metallic state is well established.…
Nuclear spin levels play an important role in understanding magnetization dynamics and implementation and control of quantum bits in lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets. We investigate the hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole interactions…
We propose a valley- and spin-filter based on a normal/ferromagnetic/normal molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) junction where the polarizations of the valley and the spin can be inverted by reversing the direction of the exchange field in the…
We develop a parabolic-cylinder approach to valley-polarized conductance in tilted anisotropic Dirac-Weyl systems, showing that the smooth-interface scattering problem can be reduced analytically to the Weber equation, which belongs to the…
Interface disorder and its effect on the valley degeneracy of the conduction band edge remains among the greatest theoretical challenges for understanding the operation of spin qubits in silicon. Here, we investigate a counterintuitive…
We present a theoretical realization of quantum spin and quantum valley Hall effects in silicene. We show that combination of an electric field and intrinsic spin-orbit interaction leads to quantum phase transitions at the charge neutrality…
