STM/STS study on large pseudogap and nodal superconducting gap in Bi2201(La) and Bi2212

In the present work, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) measurements were carried out on underdoped $\rm Bi_2Sr_{2-{\it x}}La_{\it x}CuO_{6+δ}$ and $\rm Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+δ}$ to clarify the origin of the pseudogap, in particular, the inhomogeneous large pseudogap. The nodal part of a d-wave pairing gap, which is under no influence of the inhomogeneous large pseudogap, was also examined by relating the homogeneous bottom part of the STS gap to a nodal d-wave gap in momentum space. We report that the inhomogeneous large pseudogap in the antinodal region links to a two-dimensional electronic charge order, and that the gap size of the nodal d-wave part $\rm Δ_{sc}$ scales with the superconducting critical temperature $\rm {\it T}_c$ in the pseudogap regime.

A Cooper pair light emitting diode

We demonstrate Cooper-pair's drastic enhancement effect on band-to-band radiative recombination in a semiconductor. Electron Cooper pairs injected from a superconducting electrode into an active layer by the proximity effect recombine with holes injected from a p-type electrode and dramatically accelerate the photon generation rates of a light emitting diode in the optical-fiber communication band. Cooper pairs are the condensation of electrons at a spin-singlet quantum state and this condensation leads to the observed enhancement of the electric-dipole transitions. Our results indicate the possibility to open up new interdisciplinary fields between superconductivity and optoelectronics.

Measuring Qutrit-Qutrit Entanglement of Orbital Angular Momentum States of an Atomic Ensemble and a Photon

Three-dimensional entanglement of orbital angular momentum states of an atomic qutrit and a single photon qutrit has been observed. Their full state was reconstructed using quantum state tomography. The fidelity to the maximally entangled state of Schmidt rank 3 exceeds the threshold 2/3. This result confirms that the density matrix cannot be decomposed into ensemble of pure states of Schmidt rank 1 or 2. That is, the Schmidt number of the density matrix must be equal to or greater than 3.

Entanglement of orbital angular momentum states between an ensemble of cold atoms and a photon

Recently, atomic ensemble and single photons were successfully entangled by using collective enhancement [D. N. Matsukevich, \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{95}, 040405(2005).], where atomic internal states and photonic polarization states were correlated in nonlocal manner. Here we experimentally clarified that in an ensemble of atoms and a photon system, there also exists an entanglement concerned with spatial degrees of freedom. Generation of higher-dimensional entanglement between remote atomic ensemble and an application to condensed matter physics are also discussed.

Sliding conduction by the quasi one-dimensional charge-ordered state in Sr$_{14-x}$Ca$_x$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$

Nonlinear conduction (NLC) of the two-leg spin ladder, Sr$_{14-x}$Ca$_x$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$, was investigated for the $x$=0, 1 and 12 materials . Although insulating materials ($x$=0 and 1) exibited the NLC both in the ladder- and rung directions, the NLC in the ladder direction of the $x$=0-material was found to be very special. We considered this to be due to the sliding motion of the charge ordered state, which was responsible for the resonance at microwave frequencies. We discussed possible candidates for the charge ordered state responsible for the NLC, including Wigner crystal in quasi one dimension (4$k_F$-CDW).

Microwave and millimeter wave spectroscopy in the slightly hole-doped ladders of Sr$_{14}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$

We have measured the temperature- and frequency dependence of the microwave and millimeter wave conductivity $σ_1(T,ω)$ along both the ladder (c-axis) and the leg (a-axis) directions in Sr$_{14}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$. Below a temperature $T^*$($\sim$170 K), we observed a stronger frequency dependence in $σ_1^c(T,ω)$ than that in $σ_1^a(T,ω)$, forming a small resonance peak developed between 30 GHz and 100 GHz. We also observed nonlinear dc conduction along the c-axis at rather low electric fields below $T^*$. These results suggest some collective excitation contributes to the c-axis charge dynamics of the slightly hole-doped ladders of Sr$_{14}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ below $T^*$.
