چکیده
We demonstrate the operation of a quantum spin pump based on cyclic radio-frequency excitation of a GaAs quantum dot, including the ability to pump pure spin without pumping charge. The device takes advantage of bidirectional mesoscopic fluctuations of pumped current, made spin dependent by the application of an in-plane Zeeman field. Spin currents are measured by placing the pump in a focusing geometry with a spin-selective collector.

Proposal for a phonon laser utilizing quantum-dot spin states.
We propose a nanoscale realization of a phonon laser utilizing phonon-assisted spin flips in quantum dots to amplify sound. Owing to a long spin relaxation time, the device can be operated in a strong pumping regime, in which the population inversion is close to its maximal value allowed under Fermi statistics. In this regime, the threshold for stimulated emission is unaffected by spontaneous s...
متن کاملSlow Light by Electromagnetically Induced Transparency ( EIT ) in Semiconductors
The ability to controllably slow down the propagation of light pulses can enable a variety of important applications. In recent years, two different approaches have been pursued for slow light. One approach explores dispersion engineering with passive optical elements such as resonators, filters, and photonic bandgap structures. The other approach takes advantage of coherent nonlinear optical p...
متن کاملNonadiabatic pumping through interacting quantum dots.
We study nonadiabatic two-parameter charge and spin pumping through a single-level quantum dot with Coulomb interaction. For the limit of weak tunnel coupling and in the regime of pumping frequencies up to the tunneling rates, Omega less, similar Gamma/variant Planck's over 2pi, we perform an exact resummation of contributions of all orders in the pumping frequency. As striking nonadiabatic sig...
متن کاملBuckyball Quantum Computer: Realization of a Quantum Gate
We have studied a system composed by two endohedral fullerene molecules. We have found that this system can be used as good candidate for the realization of Quantum Gates. Each of these molecules encapsules an atom carrying a spin, therefore they interact through the spin dipole interaction. We show that a phase gate can be realized if we apply static and time dependent magnetic fields on each ...
متن کاملInducing time-reversal-invariant topological superconductivity and fermion parity pumping in quantum wires.
We propose a setup to realize time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors in quantum wires, proximity coupled to conventional superconductors. We consider a model of quantum wire with strong spin-orbit coupling and proximity coupling to two s-wave superconductors. When the relative phase between the two superconductors is ϕ=π a Kramers pair of Majorana zero modes appears at each edge of...
