We present Monte Carlo and Langevin micromagnetic calculations to investigate thermal switching of single-domain ferromagnetic particles. For the Monte Carlo study we place particular emphasis on the probability that the magnetization does…

A two dimensional magnetic particle in the presence of an external magnetic field is studied. Equilibrium thermodynamical properties are derived by evaluating analytically the partition function. When the external field is applied…

We propose a microscopic model that describes the magnetic behavior of the mixed-spin quantum systems R$_2$BaNiO$_5$ (R= magnetic rare earth). An evaluation of the properties of this model by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations shows remarkable…

We investigate macroscopic quantum tunneling of a Bose condensate and how it is affected by the interatomic interaction. We study the dynamics of a condensate falling under gravity and scattering on a Gaussian potential barrier that models…

Using a quantum generalization of the Onsager principle of microscopic reversibility, the magnetization of a system in a non-equilibrium steady state quantum dot is formulated as a response of the interaction energy to an external field.…

Thermally-induced transitions between bistable magnetic states of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) are of interest for generating random bitstreams and for applications in stochastic computing. An applied field transverse to the easy axis of…

In a recent paper, cond-mat/0404041, J. Vanacken et al. reported experimental studies of crystals of Mn12-ac molecular nanomagnets in pulsed magnetic fields with sweep rates up to 4000 T/s. Steps in the magnetization curve were observed.…

The behavior of molecular nanomagnets in periodic magnetic field transverse to the easy axis direction is investigated. It is shown that at sufficiently strong field the tunneling time can be considerably reduced.

Levitated systems have great potential in quantum sensing and exploring quantum effects at the macroscopic scale. Of particular interest are recent works suggesting that a levitated ferromagnet can beat the standard quantum limit of…

We explore a wide range of fundamental magnetic phenomena by measuring the dephasing of matter-wave interference fringes upon application of a variable magnetic gradient. The versatility of our interferometric Stern-Gerlach technique…

A new family of supramolecular, antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled dimers of single-molecule magnets (SMMs) has recently been reported [W. Wernsdorfer, N. Aliaga-Alcalde, D.N. Hendrickson, and G. Christou, Nature 416, 406 (2002)]. Each…

Periodic nanostructures can display the dynamics of arrays of atoms while enabling the tuning of interactions in ways not normally possible in Nature. We examine one dimensional arrays of a ``synthetic atom,'' a one dimensional ring with a…

We explore the quantum-classical crossover of two coupled, identical, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) rings. The motivation for this work is based on a series of recent papers. In ~[1] we showed that the entanglement…

This work will incorporate a few related tools for addressing the conceptual difficulties arising from sewing together classical and quantum mechanics: deterministic operators, weak measurements and post-selection. Weak Measurement, based…

Free-standing, interconnected metallic nanowire networks with density as low as 40 mg/cm^{3} have been achieved over cm-scale areas, using electrodeposition into polycarbonate membranes that have been ion-tracked at multiple angles.…

We present a hybrid quantum-classical variational scheme to enhance precision in quantum metrology. In the scheme, both the initial state and the measurement basis in the quantum part are parameterized and optimized via the classical part.…

We predict that quantized mechanical motion can be detected by embedding a mechanical resonator into a quantum SQUID. If the system is tuned to the regime when a plasma frequency of the SQUID matches the resonator frequency, the…

The theory for the quantum tunneling of nano-magnets is developed within the intermediate spin framework. Periodic magnetic effects are seen to reflect that associated with a change of flux by a single flux quantum $\Phi_{0}$. Essential are…

We present a review of suppression of tunneling rate (energy splitting) for half-odd-integer spins in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic particles. We also review the quenching of the tunneling rate in the presence of a magnetic field.

By numerically solving the equations of motion for atomic spins we show that internal spin-wave processes in large enough magnetic particles, initially in unstable states, lead to complete magnetization reversal and thermalization. The…
