We show that every even-denominator fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state possesses at least two robust, topologically distinct gapless edge phases if charge conservation is broken at the boundary by coupling to a superconductor. The new edge…

Recently, exciting progress has been made in using the superconducting nanowires coupled to gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) to mimic the Kiteav chain and realize the Majorana-bound states via a poor man's route. The essential ingredient is…

Recent demonstrations using electron spins stored in quantum dots array as qubits are promising for developing a scalable quantum computing platform. An ongoing effort is therefore aiming at the precise control of the quantum dots…

We report charge detection studies of a lateral double quantum dot with controllable charge states and tunable tunnel coupling. Using an integrated electrometer, we characterize the equilibrium state of a single electron trapped in the…

We report the observation of fractional shifts in the experimental stability diagrams of PbTe nanowire quantum dots. Although this behavior may appear to suggest fractional charge transport, akin to that reported in the fractional quantum…

An ultrasmall quantum dot coupled to a lead and to a quantum box (a large quantum dot) is investigated. Tuning the tunneling amplitudes to the lead and box, we find a line of unstable non-Fermi-liquid fixed points as function of the gate…

We study a strongly interacting quantum dot connected to a normal and to a superconducting lead. By means of the slave-boson technique we investigate the low temperature regime and discuss electrical transport through the dot. We find that…

We have realized a tunable coupling over a large frequency range between an asymmetric Cooper pair transistor (charge qubit) and a dc SQUID (phase qubit). Our circuit enables the independent manipulation of the quantum states of each qubit…

Interfacing s-wave superconductors and quantum spin Hall edges produces time-reversal-invariant topological superconductivity of a type that can not arise in strictly 1D systems. With the aim of establishing sharp fingerprints of this novel…

We report measurements of the cross-correlation between current noise fluctuations in two capacitively coupled quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime. The sign of the cross-spectral density is found to be tunable by gate voltage and…

Resonant tunneling through identical potential barriers is a textbook problem in quantum mechanics. Its solution yields total transparency (100% tunneling) at discrete energies. This dramatic phenomenon results from coherent interference…

We describe a novel mechanism for charge pumping through tunnel-coupled quantum dots in the regime of strong Coulomb blockade. The quantum state of an additional electron within the structure is steered by changing the tunneling couplings…

We have observed that the supercurrent across phase-biased, highly transmitting atomic size contacts is strongly reduced within a broad phase interval around {\pi}. We attribute this effect to quasiparticle trapping in one of the discrete…

We study spin-dependent transport through a quantum nanostructure composed of a quantum dot (QD) surrounded by a quantum nanoring. The nanostructure is side-attached to source and drain electrodes and we assume that the confining potential…

We consider the possibility of using a micromechanical gate electrode located just above the island of a single-electron transistor to measure directly the fluctuating island charge due to tunnelling electrons.

The many-body state of carriers confined in a quantum dot is controlled by the balance between their kinetic energy and their Coulomb correlation. In coupled quantum dots, both can be tuned by varying the inter-dot tunneling and…

We elaborate on the recently introduced concept of reentrant Kondo effect in quantum impurities/dots coupled to hybrid metal-semiconductor contacts [G.~Diniz {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 101}, 125115 (2020)]. By noticing the equivalence…

Chiral Majorana-fermion modes are shown to emerge as edge excitations in a superconductor--topological-insulator hybrid structure that is subject to a magnetic field. The velocity of this mode is tunable by changing the magnetic-field…

We investigate the conductance through and the spectrum of ballistic chaotic quantum dots attached to two s-wave superconductors, as a function of the phase difference $\phi$ between the two order parameters. A combination of analytical…

Charged excitations in the fractional quantum Hall effect are known to carry fractional charges, as theoretically predicted and experimentally verified. Here we report on the dependence of the tunneling quasiparticle charge, as determined…
