Probing the quantum metric of 3D topological insulators

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | First 5 Authors: Giacomo Sala, Giacomo Sala, , , | Summary: The surface states of 3D topological insulators possess geometric structures that imprint distinctive signatures on electronic transport. A prime example is the Berry curvature, which controls electric frequency doubling via a higher order moment, called Berry curvature triple. […]

Quantum oscillations in two-dimensional hole gases with competing cyclotron and Zeeman energy

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Davide Costa, Davide Costa, , , | Summary: Evaluation of critical bandstructure and quantum transport parameters in two-dimensional systems is challenging when competition emerges among different energy scales shaping quantum oscillations in a magnetic field. Here we overcome this challenge in low-disorder strained germanium quantum wells by […]

Accurate ground states of $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory in 2+1D and 3+1D

Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: Thomas Spriggs, Thomas Spriggs, , , | Summary: We present a neural network wavefunction framework for solving non-Abelian lattice gauge theories in a continuous group representation. Using a combination of $SU(2)$ equivariant neural networks alongside an $SU(2)$ invariant, physics-inspired ansatz, we learn a parameterization of the ground […]

Quantum Frequency Conversion of Single Photons from a Tin-Vacancy Center in Diamond

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Julia M. Brevoord, Julia M. Brevoord, , , | Summary: Diamond tin-vacancy (SnV) centers are promising candidates for building quantum network nodes. However, their native photon emission at 619 nm is incompatible with metropolitan-scale networks operating at low-loss telecom wavelengths. To address this, we demonstrate highly efficient, […]
