Two dimensional electrons in a magnetic field can form new states of matter characterized by topological properties and strong electronic correlations as displayed in the integer and fractional quantum Hall states. In these states the electron liquid displays several spectacular characteristics which manifest themselves in transport experiments with the quantization of the Hall resistance and a vanishing longitudinal conductivity or in thermodynamic equilibrium when the electron fluid becomes incompressible. Several experiments have reported that dissipation-less transport can be achieved even at weak, non-quantizing magnetic fields when the electrons absorb photons at specific energies related to their cyclotron frequency. Compressibility measurements on electrons on liquid helium demonstrate the formation of an incompressible electronic state under these resonant excitation conditions.

Using charge accumulation imaging, we measure the charge flow across an incompressible strip and follow its evolution with magnetic field. The strip runs parallel to the edge of a gate deposited on the sample and forms at positions where an exact num
ber of integer Landau levels is filled. An RC model of charging fits the data well and enables us to determine the longitudinal resistance of the strip. Surprisingly, we find that the strip becomes more resistive as its width decreases.
Electron spins in GaAs quantum dots have been used to make qubits with high-fidelity gating and long coherence time, necessary ingredients in solid-state quantum computing. The quantum dots can also host photon qubits with energy applicable for optic
al communication, and can show a promising photon-to-spin conversion. The coherent interface is established through photo-excitation of a single pair of an electron and a Zeeman-resolved light-hole, not heavy-hole. However, no experiments on the single photon to spin conversion have been performed yet. Here we report on single shot readout of a single electron spin generated in a GaAs quantum dot by spin-selective excitation with linearly polarized light. A photo-electron spin generated from a Zeeman-resolved light-hole exciton is detected using an optical spin blockade method in a single quantum dot and a Pauli spin blockade method in a double quantum dot. We found that the blockade probability strongly depends on the photon polarization and the hole state, heavy- or light-hole, indicating a transfer of the angular momentum from single photons to single electron spins. Our demonstration will open a pathway to further investigation on fundamental quantum physics such as quantum entanglement between a wide variety of quantum systems and applications of quantum networking technology.
We demonstrate how virtual scattering of laser photons inside a cavity via two-photon processes can induce controllable long-range electron interactions in two-dimensional materials. We show that laser light that is red(blue)-detuned from the cavity
yields attractive(repulsive) interactions, whose strength is proportional to the laser intensity. Furthermore, we find that the interactions are not screened effectively except at very low frequencies. For realistic cavity parameters, laser-induced heating of the electrons by inelastic photon scattering is suppressed and coherent electron interactions dominate. When the interactions are attractive, they cause an instability in the Cooper channel at a temperature proportional to the square root of the driving intensity. Our results provide a novel route for engineering electron interactions in a wide range of two-dimensional materials including AB-stacked bilayer graphene and the conducting interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3.
The spontaneous decay of an excited state of an emitter placed in the vicinity of a metallic single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) was examined theoretically. The emitter-SWNT coupling strongly depends on the position of the emitter relative to the SWNT
, the length of the SWNT, the dipole transition frequency and the orientation of the emitter. In the high-frequency regime, dips in the spectrum of the spontaneous decay rate exist at the resonance frequencies in the spectrum of the SWNT conductivity. In the intermediate-frequency regime, the SWNT conductivity is very low, and the spontaneous decay rate is practically unaffected by the SWNT. In the low-frequency regime, the spectrum of the spontaneous decay rate contains resonances at the antennas resonance frequencies for surface-wave propagation in the SWNT. Enhancement of both the total and radiative spontaneous decay rates by several orders in magnitude is predicted at these resonance frequencies. The strong emitter-field coupling is achieved, in spite of the low Q factor of the antenna resonances, due to the very high magnitude of the electromagnetic field in the near-field zone. The vacuum Rabi oscillations of the population of the excited emitter state are exhibited when the emitter is coupled to an antenna resonance of the SWNT.
In conventional light harvesting devices, the absorption of a single photon only excites one electron, which sets the standard limit of power-conversion efficiency, such as the Shockley-Queisser limit. In principle, generating and harnessing multiple
carriers per absorbed photon can improve the efficiency and possibly overcome this limit. Here, we report the observation of multiple hot carrier collection in graphene-boron-nitride Moire superlattice structures. A record-high zero-bias photoresponsivity of 0.3 ampere per watt, equivalently, an external quantum efficiency exceeding 50 percent, is achieved utilizing graphene photo-Nernst effect, which demonstrates a collection of at least 5 carriers per absorbed photon. We reveal that this effect arises from the enhanced Nernst coefficient through Lifshtiz transition at low energy Van Hove singularities, which is an emergent phenomenon due to the formation of Moire minibands. Our observation points to a new means for extremely efficient and flexible optoelectronics based on van der Waals heterostructures.
