Nonlocality is an interesting topic in quantum physics and is usually mediated by some unique quantum states. Here we investigate a Weyl semimetal slab and find an exotic nonlocal correlation effect when placing two potential wells merely on the top and bottom surfaces. This correlation arises from the peculiar Weyl orbit in Weyl semimetals and is a consequence of the bulk-boundary correspondence in topological band theory. A giant nonlocal transport signal and a body breakdown by Weyl fermions are further uncovered, which can serve as signatures for verifying this nonlocal correlation effect experimentally. Our results extend a new member in the nonlocality family and have potential applications for designing new electric devices with fancy functions.

Recently synthesized 3D materials with Dirac spectrum exhibit peculiar electric transport qualitatively different from its 2D analogue, graphene. Neglecting impuritiy scattering, the real part of the conductivity is strongly frequency dependent (line
ar), while the imaginary part is non-zero (unlike in undoped, clean graphene). The Coulomb interaction between electrons is unscreened as in a dielectric and hence is long range. We demonstrate that the interaction correction renders the electrodynamics nonlocal on a mesoscopic scale. The longitudinal conductivity $sigma _{L}$ (related by charge conservation to the electric susceptibility) and the transverse conductivity $sigma _{T}$ are different in the long wave length limit and consequently the standard local Ohms law description does not apply. This leads to several remarkable effects in transport and optical response. We predict a charging effect in DC transport that is a direct signature of the nonlocality. The optical response of the WSM is also sensitive to the nonlocality. In these materials p-polarized light generates bulk plasmons as well as the transversal waves. The propagation inside the WSM is only slightly attenuated. At a specific (material parameter dependent) frequency the two modes coincide, a phenomenon impossible in a local medium. Remarkably, for any frequency there is an incident angle where total absorption occurs, turning the WSM opaque.
Weyl semimetals in a magnetic field give rise to interesting non-local electronic orbits: the ballistic transport through the bulk enabled by the chiral Landau levels is combined with a momentum-space sliding along the surface Fermi-arc driven by the
Lorentz force. Bulk chiral Landau levels can also be induced by axial fields whose sign depends on the chirality of the Weyl point. However, the microscopic perturbations that give rise to them can be described in terms of gauge fields only in the low-energy sectors around the Weyl points. In addition, since pseudo-fields are intrinsic, there is no apparent reason for a Lorentz force that causes sliding along the Fermi-arcs. Therefore, the existence of non-local orbits driven exclusively by pseudo-fields is not obvious. Here, we show that for systems with at least four Weyl points in the bulk spectrum, non-local orbits can be induced by axial fields alone. We discuss the underlying mechanisms by a combination of analytical semi-classical theory, the microscopic numerical study of wave-packet dynamics, and a surface Greens function analysis.
Emergent relativistic quasiparticles in Weyl semimetals are the source of exotic electronic properties such as surface Fermi arcs, the anomalous Hall effect, and negative magnetoresistance, all observed in real materials. Whereas these phenomena high
light the effect of Weyl fermions on the electronic transport properties, less is known about what collective phenomena they may support. Here, we report a new Weyl semimetal, NdAlSi that offers an example. Using neutron diffraction, we report a long-wavelength magnetic order in NdAlSi whose periodicity is linked to the nesting vector between two topologically non-trivial Fermi pockets, which we characterize using density functional theory and quantum oscillation measurements. Our work provides a rare example of Weyl fermions driving collective magnetism.
We investigate the relaxation of rectangular wrinkled thin films intrinsically containing an initial strain gradient. A preferential rolling direction, depending on wrinkle geometry and strain gradient, is theoretically predicted and experimentally v
erified. In contrast to typical rolled-up nanomembranes, which bend perpendicular to the longer edge of rectangular patterns, we find a regime where rolling parallel to the long edge of the wrinkled film is favorable. A non-uniform radius of the rolled-up film is well reproduced by elasticity theory and simulations of the film relaxation using a finite element method.
In quantum metrology, semiconductor single-electron pumps are used to generate accurate electric currents with the ultimate goal of implementing the emerging quantum standard of the ampere. Pumps based on electrostatically defined tunable quantum dot
s (QDs) have thus far shown the most promising performance in combining fast and accurate charge transfer. However, at frequencies exceeding approximately 1 GHz, the accuracy typically decreases. Recently, hybrid pumps based on QDs coupled to trap states have led to increased transfer rates due to tighter electrostatic confinement. Here, we operate a hybrid electron pump in silicon obtained by coupling a QD to multiple parasitic states, and achieve robust current quantization up to a few gigahertz. We show that the fidelity of the electron capture depends on the sequence in which the parasitic states become available for loading, resulting in distinctive frequency dependent features in the pumped current.
