Multi-spin interactions can be engineered with artificial quantum spins. However, it is challenging to verify such interactions experimentally. Here we describe two methods to characterize the $n$-local coupling of $n$ spins. First, we…

Entanglement is an essential property of quantum many-body systems. However, its local detection is challenging and was so far limited to spin degrees of freedom in ion chains. Here we measure entanglement between the spins of atoms located…

In a two-dimensional quantum dot in a GaAs heterostructure, the spin-orbit scattering rate is substantially reduced below the rate in a bulk two-dimensional electron gas [B.I. Halperin et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2106 (2001)]. Such a…

We study quantum charge transport in two-dimensional networks in the presence of a magnetic field and spin-orbit interaction. The interplay of the corresponding Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields leads to an intricate behavior of the…

We develop a detailed theory for spin transport in a one-dimensional quantum wire described by Luttinger liquid theory. A hydrodynamic description for the quantum wire is supplemented by boundary conditions taking into account the exchange…

Measurements in clean two-dimensional electron systems confined to wide GaAs quantum wells in which two electric subbands are occupied reveal an unexpected rotation of the orientation of the stripe phase observed at a half-filled Landau…

A number of recent experiments report spin polarization in quantum wires in the absence of magnetic fields. These observations are in apparent contradiction with the Lieb-Mattis theorem, which forbids spontaneous spin polarization in one…

We study spin polarization in a split-gate quantum wire focussing on the effect of a realistic smooth potential due to remote donors. Electron interaction and spin effects are included within the density functional theory in the local spin…

We have computed the probability distribution of the conductance of a ballistic and chaotic cavity which is connected to two electron reservoirs by leads with a single propagating mode, for arbitrary values of the transmission probability…

The influence of Coulomb interaction on the electron transport through molecular wires is studied in the regime of incoherent tunneling. In the limit of strong Coulomb repulsion, the current for spinless electrons is determined. It is shown…

The fate of spin-charge separation beyond the low energy remains elusive up to now. Here we develop a microscopic theory of the correlation functions using the strong coupling expansion of the Hubbard model and demonstrate its validity down…

The energy dependence and intensity of Coulomb interaction between quasiparticles in metallic wires is obtained from two different methods: determination of the temperature dependence of the phase coherence time from the magnetoresistance,…

We investigate ballistic transport and quantum interference in a nanoscale quantum wire loop fab-ricated as a GaAs/AlGaAs field-effect heterostructure. Four-terminal measurements of current and voltage characteristics as a function of top…

The spin dynamics in a broad range of systems can be studied using circularly polarized optical excitation with alternating helicity. The dependence of spin polarization on the frequency of helicity alternation, known as the spin inertia…

We describe two experiments to study the influence of fluctuations in the electron charge on the transport properties of a quantum dot. First, we scan a device from single- to double quantum-dot behavior by varying the conductance of a…

We analyze the effect of an auxiliary scatterer, such as the potential of a scanning tip, on the conductance of an interacting one-dimensional electron system. We find that the differential conductance for tunneling into the end of a…

We investigate high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases in AlGaAs heterostructures by employing Schottky-gate-dependent measurements of the samples' electron density and mobility. Surprisingly, we find that two different sample…

Electron transport properties in a parallel double-quantum-dot structure with three-terminals are theoretically studied. By introducing a local Rashba spin-orbit coupling, we find that an incident electron from one terminal can select a…

We study the effect of Coulomb interactions on the conductance of a single-mode quantum wire connecting two bulk leads. When the density of electrons in the wire is very low, they arrange in a finite-length Wigner crystal. In this regime…

We investigate the dynamics of Bloch electrons using a density operator method and connect this approach with previous theories based on wave packets. We study non-interacting systems with negligible disorder and strong spin-orbit…
