Quantum dynamics is very sensitive to dimensionality. While two-dimensional electronic systems form Fermi liquids, one-dimensional systems -- Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids -- are described by purely bosonic excitations, even though they are initially made of fermions. With the advent of coherent single-electron sources, the quantum dynamics of such a liquid is now accessible at the single-electron level. Here, we report on time-of-flight measurements of ultrashort few-electron charge pulses injected into a quasi one-dimensional quantum conductor. By changing the confinement potential we can tune the system from the one-dimensional Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid limit to the multi-channel Fermi liquid and show that the plasmon velocity can be varied over almost an order of magnitude. These results are in quantitative agreement with a parameter-free theory and demonstrate a powerful new probe for directly investigating real-time dynamics of fractionalisation phenomena in low-dimensional conductors.

We show that many-body correlations among excitons originating from the Pauli exclusion principle in a quantum well embedded inside a microcavity provide a possibility to produce pairs of entangled photons by ultrashort laser pulses with a yield of $
sim 10^{-2}$. The quantum-field theoretical two-particle density matrix in second quantization is used to calculate entanglement for arbitrary emission angles. %At time scales where the heavy-light hole splitting is resolved the resonances corresponding to different two-exciton %states develop, which allow for a simple kinematic theory relating the %states of the outgoing photons with the respective two-exciton states. Largest response can be expected at symmetric emission angles for resonances with the heavy-heavy and light-light two-exciton states with remarkably nontrivial dependence of entanglement on the emission angles and on the ellipticity parameters of the excitation. We show that the angle dependence can be tailored by means of the microcavity. Interestingly, the emitted entangled 2-photon states are always in a triplet state.
Coherent spin-wave generation by focused ultrashort laser pulse irradiation was investigated for a permalloy thin film at micrometer scale using an all-optical space and time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. The spin-wave packet propagating perp
endicular to magnetization direction was clearly observed, however that propagating parallel to the magnetization direction was not observed. The propagation length, group velocity, center frequency, and packet-width of the observed spin-wave packet were evaluated and quantitatively explained in terms of the propagation of a magneto-static spin-wave driven by ultrafast change of an out-of-plane demagnetization field induced by the focused-pulse laser.
We present a microcavity structure with a shifted photonic stop-band to enable efficient non-resonant injection of a polariton condensate with spectrally broad femtosecond pulses. The concept is demonstrated theoretically and confirmed experimentally
for a planar GaAs/AlGaAs multilayer heterostructure pumped with ultrashort near-infrared pulses while photoluminescence is collected to monitor the optically injected polariton density. As the excitation wavelength is scanned, a regime of polariton condensation can be reached in our structure at a consistently lower fluence threshold than in a state-of-the-art conventional microcavity. Our microcavity design improves the polariton injection efficiency by a factor of 4, as compared to a conventional microcavity design, when broad excitation pulses are centered at a wavelength of 740 nm. Most remarkably, this improvement factor reaches 270 when the excitation wavelength is centered at 750 nm.
Recent advances in ultrashort laser pulse techniques have opened up a wide variety of applications in both fundamental physics and industrial fields. In this work, $ab$ $initio$ molecular dynamics simulations based on time-dependent density functiona
l theory revealed a steady deceleration of lattice distortion propagation in an aluminum slab with increasing laser pulse intensity. Analysis of the interatomic force revealed a significant reduction in the harmonic terms and non-monotonic growth of anharmonicity. This behavior was characterized by spatially non-uniform force screening by plasmons, which is missing from Born--Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, and is consistent with the current interpretation of laser-induced periodic structure patterning. This work provides a semi-quantitative criterion for modifying the phonon properties of non-equilibrium systems.
Most proof-of-principle experiments for spin qubits have been performed using GaAs-based quantum dots because of the excellent control they offer over tunneling barriers and the orbital and spin degrees of freedom. Here, we present the first realizat
ion of high-quality single and double quantum dots hosted in an InAs two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), demonstrating accurate control down to the few-electron regime, where we observe a clear Kondo effect and singlet-triplet spin blockade. We measure an electronic $g$-factor of $16$ and a typical magnitude of the random hyperfine fields on the dots of $sim 0.6, mathrm{mT}$. We estimate the spin-orbit length in the system to be $sim 5-10, mu mathrm{m}$, which is almost two orders of magnitude longer than typically measured in InAs nanostructures, achieved by a very symmetric design of the quantum well. These favorable properties put the InAs 2DEG on the map as a compelling host for studying fundamental aspects of spin qubits. Furthermore, having weak spin-orbit coupling in a material with a large Rashba coefficient potentially opens up avenues for engineering structures with spin-orbit coupling that can be controlled locally in space and/or time.
