A robust, fiber-coupled scanning probe magnetometer using electron spins at the tip of a diamond nanobeam

Kavli Affiliate: Toeno Van Der Sar | First 5 Authors: Yufan Li, Gesa Welker, Richard Norte, Toeno van der Sar, | Summary: Fiber-coupled sensors are well suited for sensing and microscopy in hard-to-reach environments such as biological or cryogenic systems. We demonstrate fiber-based magnetic imaging based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) sensor spins at the tip of […]

Heterogeneous integration of amorphous silicon carbide on thin film lithium niobate

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Zizheng Li, Naresh Sharma, Bruno Lopez-Rodriguez, Roald van der Kolk, Thomas Scholte | Summary: In the past decade, lithium niobate (LiNbO3 or LN) photonics, thanks to its heat-free and fast electro-optical modulation, second-order non-linearities and low loss, has been extensively investigated. Despite numerous demonstrations of high-performance LN […]

The quantum metric of electrons with spin-momentum locking

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | First 5 Authors: Giacomo Sala, Maria Teresa Mercaldo, Klevis Domi, Stefano Gariglio, Mario Cuoco | Summary: Quantum materials are characterized by electromagnetic responses intrinsically linked to the geometry and topology of the electronic wavefunctions. These properties are encoded in the quantum metric and Berry curvature. While Berry curvature-mediated transport […]

$mathbb{Z}_4$ transitions in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Bowy M. La Rivière, Natalia Chepiga, , , | Summary: We study the nature of quantum phase transitions out of $mathbb{Z}_4$ ordered phases in quantum loop models on a zig-zag ladder. We report very rich critical behaviour that includes a pair of Ising transitions, a multi-critical Ashkin-Teller […]

Constant search time algorithm via topological quantum walks

Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: D. O. Oriekhov, Guliuxin Jin, Eliska Greplova, , | Summary: It is well-known that quantum algorithms such as Grover’s can provide a quadradic speed-up for unstructured search problems. By adding topological structure to a search problem, we show that it is possible to achieve a constant search-time […]

Probing universal critical scaling with scan-DMRG

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, , , , | Summary: We explore the universal signatures of quantum phase transitions that can be extracted with the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm applied to quantum chains with a gradient. We present high-quality data collapses for the order parameter and for the […]
