Fluid dynamics is one of the cornerstones of modern physics and has recently found applications in the transport of electrons in solids. In most solids electron transport is dominated by extrinsic factors, such as sample geometry and scattering from impurities. However in the hydrodynamic regime Coulomb interactions transform the electron motion from independent particles to the collective motion of a viscous `electron fluid. The fluid viscosity is an intrinsic property of the electron system, determined solely by the electron-electron interactions. Resolving the universal intrinsic viscosity is challenging, as it only affects the resistance through interactions with the sample boundaries, whose roughness is not only unknown but also varies from device to device. Here we eliminate all unknown parameters by fabricating samples with smooth sidewalls to achieve the perfect slip boundary condition, which has been elusive both in molecular fluids and electronic systems. We engineer the device geometry to create viscous dissipation and reveal the true intrinsic hydrodynamic properties of a 2D system. We observe a clear transition from ballistic to hydrodynamic electron motion, driven by both temperature and magnetic field. We directly measure the viscosity and electron-electron scattering lifetime (the Fermi quasiparticle lifetime) over a wide temperature range without fitting parameters, and show they have a strong dependence on electron density that cannot be explained by conventional theories based on the Random Phase Approximation.

We show that a small conducting object, such as a nanosphere or a nanoring, embedded into or placed in the vicinity of the two-dimensional electron liquid (2DEL) and subjected to a circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation induces ``twisted plas monic oscillations in the adjacent 2DEL. The oscillations are rectified due to the hydrodynamic nonlinearities leading to the helicity sensitive circular dc current and to a magnetic moment. This hydrodynamic inverse Faraday effect (HIFE) can be observed at room temperature in different materials. The HIFE is dramatically enhanced in a periodic array of the nanospheres forming a resonant plasmonic coupler. Such a coupler exposed to a circularly polarized wave converts the entire 2DEL into a vortex state. Hence, the twisted plasmonic modes support resonant plasmonic-enhanced gate-tunable optical magnetization. Due to the interference of the plasmonic and Drude contributions, the resonances have an asymmetric Fano-like shape. These resonances present a signature of the 2DEL properties not affected by contacts and interconnects and, therefore, providing the most accurate information about the 2DEL properties. In particular, the widths of the resonances encode direct information about the momentum relaxation time and viscosity of the 2DEL.
Silicon spin qubits have achieved high-fidelity one- and two-qubit gates, above error correction thresholds, promising an industrial route to fault-tolerant quantum computation. A significant next step for the development of scalable multi-qubit proc essors is the operation of foundry-fabricated, extendable two-dimensional (2D) arrays. In gallium arsenide, 2D quantum-dot arrays recently allowed coherent spin operations and quantum simulations. In silicon, 2D arrays have been limited to transport measurements in the many-electron regime. Here, we operate a foundry-fabricated silicon 2x2 array in the few-electron regime, achieving single-electron occupation in each of the four gate-defined quantum dots, as well as reconfigurable single, double, and triple dots with tunable tunnel couplings. Pulsed-gate and gate-reflectometry techniques permit single-electron manipulation and single-shot charge readout, while the two-dimensionality allows the spatial exchange of electron pairs. The compact form factor of such arrays, whose foundry fabrication can be extended to larger 2xN arrays, along with the recent demonstration of coherent spin control and readout, paves the way for dense qubit arrays for quantum computation and simulation.
We demonstrate coherent control of cyclotron resonance (CR) in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). We use a sequence of terahertz pulses to control the amplitude of CR oscillations in an arbitrary fashion via phase-dependent coherent interactions. We observe a self-interaction effect, where the 2DEG interacts with the terahertz field emitted by itself within the decoherence time, resulting in a revival and collapse of quantum coherence. These observations are accurately describable using {em single-particle} optical Bloch equations, showing no signatures of electron-electron interactions, which verifies the validity of Kohns theorem for CR in the coherent regime.
The electronic analog of the Poiseuille flow is the transport in a narrow channel with disordered edges that scatter electrons in a diffuse way. In the hydrodynamic regime, the resistivity decreases with temperature, referred to as the Gurzhi effect, distinct from conventional Ohmic behaviour. We studied experimentally an electronic analog of the Stokes flow around a disc immersed in a two-dimensional viscous liquid. The circle obstacle results in an additive contribution to resistivity. If specular boundary conditions apply, it is no longer possible to detect Poiseuille type flow and the Gurzhi effect. However, in flow through a channel with a circular obstacle, the resistivity decreases with temperature. By tuning the temperature, we observed the transport signatures of the ballistic and hydrodynamic regimes on the length scale of disc size. Our experimental results confirm theoretical predictions.
We study hydrodynamic phonon heat transport in two-dimensional (2D) materials. Starting from the Peierls-Boltzmann equation within the Callaway model, we derive a 2D Guyer-Krumhansl-like equation describing non-local hydrodynamic phonon transport, ta king into account the quadratic dispersion of flexural phonons. In additional to Poiseuille flow, second sound propagation, the equation predicts heat current vortices and negative nonlocal thermal conductance in 2D materials, common in classical fluid but scarcely considered in phonon transport. Our results also illustrate the universal transport behavior of hydrodynamics, independent on the type of quasi-particles and their microscopic interactions.
