We theoretically investigate the properties of holes in a Si$_{x}$Ge$_{1-x}$/Ge/ Si$_{x}$Ge$_{1-x}$ quantum well perpendicular magnetic field that make them advantageous as qubits, including large ($>$100~meV) intrinsic splitting between light and heavy hole bands, very ($\sim$0.05$\, m_0$) in-plane effective mass, consistent with higher mobilities tunnel rates, larger dot sizes could ameliorate constraints on device fabrication. Compared to electrons dots, qubits do not suffer from presence...
Many semiconductor nanostructures are made from planar two-dimensional heterojunction systems. With a view to merging physics, spintronics, and quantum computing, strongly spin-orbit coupled systems such as holes have generated burgeoning research interest. While recent experiments in various low-dimensional hole shown great promise achieving electrical spin control, thorough understanding of interactions is lacking. Owing the intricate between their environment, calculations on...
The ordinary Hall effect is driven by the Lorentz force, while its anomalous counterpart occurs in ferromagnets. Here we show that Berry curvature monopole of non-magnetic 2D spin-3/2 holes leads to a novel linear an applied in-plane magnetic field B_x. There no force hence effect, all disorder contributions vanish leading order This intrinsic phenomenon, which term planar (APHE), provides non-quantized footprint topological transport directly accessible p-type semiconductors.

Moiré superlattices of van der Waals structures offer a powerful platform for engineering band structure and quantum states. For instance, in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, ABC trilayer graphene have been shown to harbor correlated insulating superconducting states, while transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers, excitons identified. Here we show that the effects superlattice on are general: In TMD exciton complexes can be trapped manner analogous ultracold bosonic or Fermionic...
Spin-orbit coupling is key to all-electrical control of quantum-dot spin qubits, and often much stronger for holes than electrons. The recent development high-quality hole nanostructures has generated considerable interest in hole-spin qubit architectures [C. Kloeffel D. Loss, Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys. 4, 51 (2013)]. Yet quantum computing hinges on the ability discriminate between competing Zeeman terms understanding complex interplay spin-orbit interactions, which are probed via...
Semiconductor holes with strong spin-orbit coupling allow all-electrical spin control, broad applications ranging from spintronics to quantum computation. Using a two-dimensional hole system in gallium arsenide well, we demonstrate new mechanism of electrically controlling the Zeeman splitting, which is achieved through altering wave vector k. We find threefold enhancement in-plane g-factor g∥(k). introduce method for quantifying splitting magnetoresistance measurements, since conventional...

Abstract In one-dimensional (1D) systems, electronic interactions lead to a breakdown of Fermi liquid theory and the formation Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid (TLL). The strength its many-body correlations can be quantified by single dimensionless parameter, Luttinger parameter K , characterising competition between electrons’ kinetic electrostatic energies. Recently, signatures TLL have been reported for topological edge states quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators, strictly 1D structures with...
Abstract Strong spin-orbit interactions make hole quantum dots central to the quest for electrical spin qubit manipulation enabling fast, low-power, scalable computation. Yet it is important establish what extent coupling exposes qubits noise, facilitating decoherence. Here, taking Ge as an example, we show that group IV gate-defined generically exhibit optimal operation points, defined by top gate electric field, at which they are both fast and long-lived: dephasing rate vanishes first...
Abstract Three-dimensional Dirac semimetals with square-net non-symmorphic symmetry, such as ternary ZrXY (X = Si, Ge; Y S, Se, Te) compounds, have attracted significant attention owing to the presence of topological nodal lines, loops, or networks in their bulk. Orbital symmetry plays a profound role materials different branches dispersion can be distinguished by distinct orbital eigenvalues. The eigenvalues suggests that scattering between states may strongly suppressed. Indeed, ZrSiS,...
The Zeeman interaction is a quantum mechanical effect that underpins spin-based devices such as spin qubits. Typically, identification of the needs large out-of-plane magnetic field coupled with ultralow temperatures, which limits practicality devices.
