Hybridizing a microwave mode with quantum state requires precise frequency matching of superconducting resonator and the corresponding object. However, fabrication always brings imperfections in geometry material properties, causing deviations from desired operating frequencies. An effective universal strategy for their resonant coupling is to tune resonator, as states like phonons are hardly tunable. Here, we demonstrate gate-tunable, titanium-nitride (TiN)-based resonators by implementing...

Exciton-polariton vortices generated by nonresonant Laguerre-Gaussian optical pumping beam reveal themselves in energy-integrated emission image, representing multimode entity consisting ground- and excited states. From time-resolved spectroscopy measurements utilizing various sizes, we find that two lowest-energy states get populated compete with each other, manifested...
Nanomechanical resonances coupled to microwave cavities can be excited, measured, and controlled simultaneously using electromechanical back-action phenomena. Examples of these effects include sideband cooling amplification, which are commonly described through linear equations motion governed by an effective optomechanical Hamiltonian. However, this approximation is invalid when the pump-induced cavity field large enough trigger nonlinearities, resulting in phenomena like frequency combs....

Detecting one-dimensional (1D) edge current around periphery of 2D ${p}_{x}+i{p}_{y}$ superconductor would be hallmark signature topological superconductivity, but not amenable to electronic measurements due charge-neutral nature. Thermal conductivity measurements, such as thermal Hall effect,...
We reexamined the rotation-induced effect observed in solid $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ by using a rigid two-frequency torsional oscillator (TO). The previous rotation experiments reported suppression of ``nonclassical'' TO response that was interpreted as evidence irrotational bulk superfluidity $^{4}\mathrm{He}$. However, experiment employed nonrigid could amplify elastic contribution response. Thus, it is important to clarify if be attributed an unavoidable effect. In our TO, complicated nonlinear...

From simulation modelling, predicted t-QPC larger more even subband spacings...
