Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Lin Wang, Anton Akhmerov, , | Summary: Recent measurements of the out-of-plane magnetoresistance of delafossites (PdCoO$_2$ and PtCoO$_2$) observed oscillations which closely resemble the Aharanov-Bohm effect. We develop a semiclassical theory of these oscillations and show that they are a consequence of the quasi-2D dispersion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Lin Wang, Anton Akhmerov, , | Summary: Recent measurements of the out-of-plane magnetoresistance of delafossites (PdCoO$_2$ and PtCoO$_2$) observed oscillations closely resembling the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Here, we show that the magnetoresistance oscillations are explained by the Bloch-like oscillations of the out-of-plane electron trajectories. We develop […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Kushagra Aggarwal, Andrea Hofmann, Daniel Jirovec, Ivan Prieto, Amir Sammak | Summary: Hole gases in planar germanium can have high mobilities in combination with strong spin-orbit interaction and electrically tunable g-factors, and are therefore emerging as a promising platform for creating hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices. A key challenge […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Byoung-moo Ann, Wouter Kessels, Gary. A. Steele, , | Summary: Driving quantum systems periodically in time plays an essential role in the coherent control of quantum states. The rotating wave approximation (RWA) is a good approximation technique for weak and nearly-resonance driven fields. However, these experiments […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Kim Pöyhönen, Daniel Varjas, Michael Wimmer, Anton R. Akhmerov, | Summary: Platforms for creating Majorana quasiparticles rely on superconductivity and breaking of time-reversal symmetry. By studying continuous deformations to known trivial states, we find that the relationship between superconducting pairing and time reversal breaking imposes rigorous bounds […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Tim Coopmans, Robert Knegjens, Axel Dahlberg, David Maier, Loek Nijsten | Summary: In order to bring quantum networks into the real world, we would like to determine the requirements of quantum network protocols including the underlying quantum hardware. Because detailed architecture proposals are generally too complex for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Sonja Schmid, Cees Dekker, , , | Summary: Proteins are the active working horses in our body. These biomolecules perform all vital cellular functions from DNA replication and general biosynthesis to metabolic signaling and environmental sensing. While static 3D structures are now readily available, observing the functional […]
Kavli Affiliate: P. G. Steeneken | First 5 Authors: D. Afanasiev, J. R. Hortensius, M. Matthiesen, S. Mañas-Valero, M. Šiškins | Summary: Magnetic van der Waals materials provide an ideal playground for exploring the fundamentals of low-dimensional magnetism and open new opportunities for ultrathin spin processing devices. The Mermin-Wagner theorem dictates that as in reduced […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Nils Klughammer, Cees Dekker, , , | Summary: Holes in metal films block any transmitting light if the wavelength is much larger than the hole diameter, establishing such nanopores as so-called Zero Mode Waveguides (ZMWs). Molecules on the other hand, can still passage through these holes. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Xiao Xue, Bishnu Patra, Jeroen P. G. van Dijk, Nodar Samkharadze, Sushil Subramanian | Summary: The most promising quantum algorithms require quantum processors hosting millions of quantum bits when targeting practical applications. A major challenge towards large-scale quantum computation is the interconnect complexity. In current solid-state qubit […]
