Illumination of atoms by resonant lasers can pump electrons into a coherent superposition of
hyperfine levels which can no longer absorb the light. Such superposition is known as a …

In a π-Josephson junction, the supercurrent's sign is reversed due to the dephasing of
superconducting pairs upon their traversal of the nonsuperconducting part. 0-π quantum …

Engineering effective p-wave superconductors hosting Majorana quasiparticles (MQPs) is
nowadays of particular interest, also in view of the possible utilization of MQPs in fault …

Semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes are classified into two types by means of the
orbital angular momentum of the valley state, which is useful to study their low-energy …

We investigate Fabry-Perot interference in an ultraclean carbon nanotube resonator. The
conductance shows a clear superstructure superimposed onto conventional Fabry-Perot …

The coupling of the spin and the motion of charge carriers is an important ingredient for the
manipulation of the spin degree of freedom and for the emergence of topological matter …

Degeneracy of discrete energy levels of finite-length, metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes
depends on the type of nanotubes, boundary condition, length of nanotubes, and spin-orbit …

Many-body entanglement is at the heart of the Kondo effect, which has its hallmark in
quantum dots as a zero-bias conductance peak at low temperatures. It signals the …

We investigate the spectrum of finite-length carbon nanotubes in the presence of onsite and
nearest-neighbor superconducting pairing terms. A one-dimensional ladder-type lattice …

Nanotubes and nanorods have been recently established as very good materials to work as
electron sources in a field emission (FE) process. These are one-dimensional materials and …
