We compute valley splittings in Si/SiGe superlattices using ab initio density functional theory (DFT). This first-principle approach is expected to provide an excellent description of interfaces, strains, and atomistic disorder without…
This thesis investigates the role of the quantum gravity cut-off for effective field theories (EFTs) coupled to Einstein gravity, with an emphasis on its implications at low energies within the context of the Swampland program. Part I…
We present an implementation in a linear-scaling density-functional theory code of an electronic enthalpy method, which has been found to be natural and efficient for the ab initio calculation of finite systems under hydrostatic pressure.…
We obtain a Quantum Electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions by applying a Kaluza--Klein type method of dimensional reduction to Quantum Electrodynamics in 3+1 dimensions rendering the model more realistic to application in solid-state systems,…
In complex systems, it is often the case that the region of interest forms only one part of a much larger system. The idea of joining two different quantum simulations - a high level calculation on the active region of interest, and a low…
We investigate a two-component, cylindrical, quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma subjected to a {\em radial} confining harmonic potential and an applied magnetic field in the symmetric gauge. It is demonstrated that such a system as can be…
We discuss the choice and implementation of inter-valley potentials in the so-called two bands $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$ model for the opposite $X$, $Y$ or $Z$ valleys of silicon. We focus on the description of valley splittings in…
The phenomenological two-level atom is re-analysed using the methods of effective field theory. By presenting the Dicke-Jaynes-Cummings model in real space, an exact diagonalization is accomplished going beyond the rotating wave…
This work focuses on understanding the nonlinear-optical response of a 1-D quantum wire embedded in 2-D space when quantum-size effects in the transverse direction are minimized using an extremely weighted delta function potential. Our aim…
Embedded density functional theory (e-DFT) is used to describe the electronic structure of strongly interacting molecular subsystems. We present a general implementation of the Exact Embedding (EE) method [J. Chem. Phys. 133, 084103 (2010)]…
In this work, we aim to characterize the structure of higher-derivative corrections within low-energy Effective Field Theories (EFTs) arising from a UV-complete theory of quantum gravity. To this end, we use string theory as a laboratory…
We study theoretically a double quantum dot hydrogen molecule in the GaAs conduction band as the basic elementary gate for a quantum computer with the electron spins in the dots serving as qubits. Such a two-dot system provides the…
We apply quantum electrodynamical density functional theory to obtain the electronic density, the spin polarization, as well as the orbital and the spin magnetization of square periodic arrays of quantum dots or antidots subjected to the…
We introduce a new quantum embedding method to explore spin-phonon interactions in molecular magnets. This technique consolidates various spin/phonon couplings into a limited number of collective degrees of freedom, allowing for a fully…
Quantum computing (or generally, quantum information processing) is of prime interest for it potentially has a significant impact on present electronics and computations1-5. Essence of quantum computing is a direct usage of the…
We construct a quantum mechanics based on the hypothesis of existing compact extra dimensions for a particle that wants to detect it. By introducing a probability function, we express the transition of particle to the extra 2d window. The…
Quantum walks are powerful tools for quantum applications and for designing topological systems. Although they are simulated in a variety of platforms, genuine two-dimensional realizations are still challenging. Here we present an…
The Born--Oppenheimer approximation is the standard tool for the study of molecular systems. It is founded on the observation that the energy scale of the electron dynamics in a molecule is larger than that of the nuclei. A very similar…
Quantum computation with electron spin qubits requires coherent and efficient manipulation of these spins, typically accomplished through the application of alternating magnetic or electric fields for electron spin resonance (ESR). In…
The quantum valley Hall effect (QVHE) has been observed in a variety of experimental setups, both quantum and classical. While extremely promising for applications, one should be reminded that QVHE is not an exact topological phenomenon and…
