Abstract

Further experiments showed the incorrectness of proposed interpretation. We have studied an in-plane resonant photo-response of an integer quantum Hall system in which time-reversal and parity symmetries are broken. The response of initially homogeneous system exhibits a complicate spatial structure sensitive to the system macroscopic sizes. Conceptually, the effect is explained by the large-scale quantum entanglement originated from an indistinguishable particle statistics. The concept is supported by the demonstration of entanglement-related transfer of information in the system interior.

Novel qubits in hybrid semiconductor-superconductor nanostructures

Hybrid semiconductor-superconductor qubits have recently emerged as a promising alternative to traditional platforms, combining material advantages with device-level tunability. A defining feature is their gate-tunable Josephson coupling, enabling superconducting qubit architectures with full electric-field control and offering a path toward scalable, low-crosstalk quantum processors. This approach seeks to merge benefits of superconducting and semiconductor qubits, for instance by encoding quantum information in the spin of a quasiparticle occupying an Andreev bound state, thus combining long coherence times with fast, flexible control. Progress has accelerated through bottom-up engineering of Andreev states in coupled quantum dot arrays, leading to architectures such as minimal Kitaev chains hosting Majorana zero modes. In parallel, Hamiltonian-protected designs aim to enhance resilience against local noise and decoherence by exploiting superconducting phase dynamics and discrete charge or flux degrees of freedom. This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances in hybrid qubits, providing an overview of physical mechanisms, device implementations, and emerging architectures, with emphasis on their potential for (topologically) protected quantum information processing. While many designs remain at proof-of-concept stage, rapid progress suggests practical demonstrations may soon be achievable.

Anharmonic Quantum Transport Analysis of Thermal Transport Anomalies in Ultrathin Silicon Nanowires

Thermal transport in low-dimensional semiconductors is important for nanoelectronics, quantum devices, and thermoelectrics. Recent molecular dynamics (MD) studies reveal a nonmonotonic diameter dependence of thermal conductivity in ultrathin silicon nanowires (NWs), but classical MD is limited at low temperatures and under strong confinement. Here, we investigate this anomaly using anharmonic non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) simulations combined with density functional theory-trained neuroevolution potentials. All transport results are expressed as effective thermal conductivities ($κ_{\mathrm{eff}}$) for NW devices with a finite channel length of $L=10$ nm. At 300 K, $κ_{\mathrm{eff}}$ decreases with diameter to minima at 6.24 and 5.50 nm for [001]- and [110]-oriented NWs, respectively. At 10 K, the corresponding minima occur at 7.33 and 5.50 nm. At room temperature, dominant momentum-conserving normal scattering relative to Umklapp processes enables Poiseuille-like hydrodynamic phonon flow that competes with boundary scattering. At cryogenic temperatures, Bose--Einstein statistics restrict heat transport to low-frequency confined acoustic-like modes. Comparison with the harmonic Landauer limit reveals a finite correction to $κ_{\mathrm{eff}}$ from anharmonic phonon--phonon scattering. Classical MD neglects quantum suppression and overexcites high-frequency vibrations, leading to overestimated thermal conductivity in thinner, strongly confined NWs at low temperatures. The NEGF framework incorporates quantum statistics and anharmonic scattering, providing a quantum-mechanical description of thermal transport down to 10 K.

Plasmon modes in tilted three-dimensional nodal-ring semimetals. I. $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric nodal ring and its gapped cousin

We study collective charge excitations in three-dimensional $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric nodal-ring semimetals (PTNRs) and their gapped counterparts (GNRs) in the presence of band tilt, together with Weyl semimetals (WSMs). Within a low-energy two-band description, we consider untilted systems as well as in-plane and axial tilts. Using the random-phase approximation, we obtain the density of states, Drude weights, dielectric functions, and plasmon dispersions at low doping and in the intrinsic limit. The mass gap and the two inequivalent tilt directions generate distinct Fermi-surface topologies and thereby control the formation and damping of plasmons. By comparing the collective modes with the particle-hole continuum, we identify the regimes in which plasmons remain well defined. We also calculate the response of untilted and tilted WSMs and contrast it with that of PTNRs and GNRs. The two classes of semimetals differ in the carrier-density dependence and isotropy of the plasmon frequency as well as in interband screening and their response to tilt. These differences reflect their distinct Fermi-surface geometries and interband structures. Our results establish how mass and tilt govern collective charge dynamics through their interplay with intraband spectral weight and interband particle-hole excitations.
