Abstract

We theoretically investigate quantum correlations and energy storage in a single-electron silicon double quantum dot (eDQD) coupled to a single-mode microwave cavity. The charge and spin degrees of freedom are hybridized by Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC), while the cavity interacts with the eDQD through spin-photon and charge-photon couplings. Using the reduced thermal density matrix, we characterize spin-charge entanglement by concurrence and quantum coherence by the $l_1$ norm. At low temperature, the cavity strongly modifies the spin-charge correlations, producing distinct regimes of enhanced and suppressed entanglement. We identify a nonlinear crossover between an eDQD-dominated regime and a photon-dressed regime. This crossover is revealed independently by two signatures: a rapid change in the concurrence and the onset of finite photon occupation in the cavity. Its boundary exhibits a dominant $G_{\rm c}\propto\sqrtΩ$ dependence and is robust against cavity Hilbert-space truncation. Beyond the Rashba coupling studied in [Ferreira et al., Phys. Rev. A 107, 052408 (2023)], we show that the cavity provides an additional tunable means of controlling quantum correlations and energy storage. We further characterize the eDQD as a quantum battery under coherent charging and evaluate its stored energy and ergotropy. The ergotropy varies markedly across a cavity-dressing crossover resembling that identified from entanglement, connecting cavity-induced modification of the dressed states to extractable work. Optimization over the charge-photon coupling reveals parameter-dependent optimal charging regimes and enhanced maximum ergotropy with increasing Rashba coupling. Our results establish cavity coupling and SOC as complementary controls of quantum correlations and extractable energy in semiconductor eDQD-cavity systems.

Density-matrix quantum kinetics of spin-mode crossover and ac Edelstein response in spin--orbit-coupled chiral metals

To clarify spin relaxation and precession across the weak-to-strong SOC crossover in chiral conductors, we formulate a density-matrix quantum kinetic theory for a three-dimensional isotropic chiral metal with hedgehog SOC and nonmagnetic impurity scattering. The formulation retains interband coherence, and its collision integral conserves charge, energy, and spin during impurity scattering. We identify three spin modes that evolve continuously from a long-lived D'yakonov--Perel' relaxation mode and two strongly damped precessional modes at weak SOC to one relaxational and two coherent precessional modes at strong SOC. A closed multipole decomposition maps the spin dynamics onto an effective Bloch equation, providing a unified interpretation of relaxation and precession across the crossover. We further derive the ac Edelstein susceptibility and the reciprocal current response to a time-dependent Zeeman field, show that their poles coincide with the spin modes, and verify Onsager reciprocity. The theory thus provides a unified analytic description of spin relaxation, precession, and spin--charge conversion across the weak-to-strong SOC crossover.

Incipient superconductivity and tunable Chern insulators in twisted bilayer-trilayer graphene

Moiré superlattices assembled by twisting Bernal and rhombohedral multilayer graphene host a rich set of interaction-driven magnetic and topological states, yet superconductivity has not been observed in these systems except in proximity to a transition-metal dichalcogenide. Here we report incipient superconductivity and tunable Chern insulators in twisted bilayer-trilayer graphene encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride. Across twist angles from $θ= 1.05^\circ$ to $1.50^\circ$, Chern insulators form at integer and fractional moiré fillings for electron doping, with Chern numbers up to |C| = 3 set by twist angle and tuned by doping. At $θ= 1.18^\circ$, a symmetry-broken metallic region forms for hole doping and hosts a trivial insulator at band filling $ν= -2$. Displacement field alone drives this insulator into a pocket of incipient superconductivity with a sharp transition, a well-defined critical current, and a critical temperature that peaks near the insulating boundary, although the resistance does not fall to zero. In-plane magnetic field expands the pocket, which persists to more than four times the weak-coupling Pauli limit, and stabilizes a second pocket in which Fraunhofer-like modulation of the critical current signals phase-coherent pairing. Twisted bilayer-trilayer graphene thus offers a single gate-tunable system in which pairing can be interfaced with Chern insulators whose topology is itself an adjustable parameter.

Electrically switchable one-dimensional quadrupolar excitons in lateral double heterojunctions

Two neighboring lateral interfaces provide a spatial degree of freedom for controlling one-dimensional charge-transfer excitons within a single semiconductor monolayer. We investigate a type-II WS2-MoS2-WS2 double heterojunction using an effective-mass two-particle Hamiltonian with a screened Coulomb interaction. For equivalent left and right interfaces at zero electric field,inter-interface coupling produces energetically split even- and odd-parity exciton states, each with zero permanent dipole. An electric field perpendicular to the interfaces continuously converts the lower state from a quadrupolar superposition with a quadratic Stark shift into a predominantly single-interface dipolar exciton with an approximately linear shift. The spatially resolved calculation gives binding energies of approximately 104 and 100 meV, a doublet splitting of 4.6 meV, and a crossover field of 0.87 V/um for a representative 1.5-nm MoS2 strip. Projection tests show that the lowest doublet controls the response near this crossover. Strip width tunes the coupling much more strongly than the binding energy, providing geometric control of the low-field Stark sensitivity. These results establish a continuum-model route to electrically reconfigurable one-dimensional quadrupolar excitons.
