Itinerant Spin Dynamics in Structures of Reduced Dimensionality Abstract In the present thesis results of the study of spin dynamics and quantum trans- port in disordered semiconductor quantum wires with spin-orbit coupling are presented. Starting from basic spin dynamics we derive the dependence of the weak localization cor- rection to the conductance on the strength and the kind of spin-orbit interaction (linear and cubic Dresselhaus, as well as Rashba coupling), the width of the quantum wires as well as the mobility, temperature and Zeeman term. Furthermore, we exploit the connec- tion found between the microscopic picture given by the Cooperon and the spin diffusion equation to extract the spin relaxation rate which shows the same wire dependencies as the weak localization correction. We also show how the result depends on the smoothness and the direction of the transverse confinement of the quantum wires. In this context we have addressed the question concerning long persisting or even persistent spin states in spintronic devices, presenting the corresponding optimal adjustment of spin orbit couplings of different kind and optimal alignment of the wire direction in semiconductor crystals.

Markert. I joined his group as a volunteer in 2010 and I was so fascinated by his wealth of knowledge, and the diversity and the profound physics underlying each experiment in his lab, that I stayed there since. His calm attitude toward solving problems, giving the students the freedom to find their own direction as scientists, and motivating them without being a micromanager is admirable. Thanks, Dr. Markert, for giving me the opportunity to work in your lab and learn from you; I have extremely enjoyed being your student, and I will forever be indebted to you. I would like to express my gratitude to Mark Monti, who piqued my interest in oxide thin films early on. Mark was a tremendous mentor in teaching me a lot of skills necessary to run the experiments in the lab.

Fachbereich Physik und Forschungszentrum OPTIMAS, Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany *[email protected] Coherent control and delocalization of single trapped atoms constitute powerful new resources for quantum technologies. We will report on a single-atom interferometer that uses spin-dependent periodic potentials to co- herently split and recombine particles with spatial separations of up to 24 lattice sites, equivalent to more than 10 ȝm. The interferometer geometry can be reprogrammed in a digital manner by freely assembling basic coherent operations at discrete time intervals; this allowed us to contrast different geometries and to develop a geometrical- analogue of the well-known spin-echo refocusing. We tested the interferometer by probing external potential gra- dients, achieving with single atoms 5 × 10 –4 precision in units of gravitational acceleration g. Furthermore, a novel scheme for spin-dependent optical lattices is presently underway, with which we expect to reach splitting distances of 1 mm. This coherent control of single-atom wave packets gives us a new way to investigate and exploit interaction effects between atoms; for instance, molecular bound states of two atoms are predicted to occur in quantum walk experiments as a result of matter-wave interference [1].

  • Transport and Superconductivity in Spin-Orbit Coupled Electron Systems
    Transport and Superconductivity in Spin-Orbit Coupled Electron Systems by Joel Gordon Hutchinson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Physics University of Alberta c Joel Gordon Hutchinson, 2019 Abstract This thesis provides a theoretical discussion of several new phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling in systems that lack inversion symmetry. Chapter 1 gives an in- troduction to the context of spin-orbit coupling in condensed matter physics and the role of inversion symmetry breaking. The remainder of the thesis is divided into two parts. Part 1 explores the effects of spin-orbit coupling on low-energy electron-impurity scattering. First, we study the single-particle scattering problem (Chapters 3 and 4) and find a host of unusual properties at ultra-low energies, including a quantized cross section. Chapter 5 extends these results to transport in a many-body system, where the quantized cross section manifests itself as a quantized conductivity. Part 2 explores the effect of spin-orbit coupling on superconductivity within BCS theory. In Chapter 7, we find that the critical temperature can be tuned by this coupling. In Chapter 8 we discuss the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter in the presence of at- tractive interactions between nearest-neighbour electrons. There we find that the gap function symmetry can change as a function of all the material parameters, including the temperature and spin-orbit coupling. ii Preface Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 7 of this dissertation are an elaboration and summary, with permis- sion, of references [1{5], of which I am the first author.

  • A Tribute to an Outstanding Physicist Y. Levinson
    Lithuanian Journal of Physics, Vol. 52, No. 2, pp. ii–xvi (2012) © Lietuvos moksl ˛uakademija, 2012 A TRIBUTE TO AN OUTSTANDING PHYSICIST Y. LEVINSON (1932–2008) This issue of our journal is devoted to the memory of Yehoshua (Yoshua) Levinson, an outstanding theoretical physicist whose 80 years anniversary is celebrated this year. Y. Levinson was born in Kaunas, Lithuania, and almost 40 years of his life and the beginning of his scientific career were tightly related to Lithuania. In the sixties, Levinson frequently published his papers (see [1–12]) in our journal. He left an important trace in atomic and solid state physics, especially in the fields related to electronic transport and non-equilibrium phenomena in solids. Along with an impressive contribution to these fields of physics, Y. Levinson is also known as a legendary teacher. Formally, he had about 20 PhD students, but actually much more people acknowledge his influence to their formation as scientists. Maybe this was the reason why preparation of the commemorative issue moved so smoothly. In the beginning of 2011 we wrote a number of letters to Levinson’s students, friends and colleagues trying to find those who would like to participate in our project. We expected some interest, but could not anticipate that so many people, in one way or another, felt obliged to help us – with information and photos, as well as scientific or commemorative contributions. We think that this has something to do with the fact that Levinson himself was open to other scientists and did not count time he spent trying to understand, explain and sometimes solve the problems of his colleagues.

  • Hyperfine Interactions and Quantum Information Processing in Quantum
    Hyperfine interactions and quantum information processing in quantum dots A dissertation presented by Jacob Mason Taylor to The Department of Physics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Physics Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts August 2006 c 2006 - Jacob Mason Taylor All rights reserved. Thesis advisor Author Mikhail D. Lukin Jacob Mason Taylor Hyperfine interactions and quantum information processing in quantum dots Abstract This thesis explores the feasibility of using electron spins in semiconductor quan- tum dots as fundamental building blocks for quantum information processing. We start from a general perspective, evaluating the possible limits to operation of such a spin-based system. We show that the coherence properties of electron spins are limited by their inter- action with lattice nuclear spins. We then consider approaches that take advantage of the long coherence and relaxation times of the lattice nuclear spins to mitigate their effect on the electron spin, and show how they could be used as a resource for long-term quantum memory in the solid-state. Next, we develop techniques for experimentally probing electron spin–nuclear spin interactions in quantum dots, and demonstrate the controlled creation and measurement of entangled electron spin states. A new paradigm for quantum information processing in the presence of nuclear spins emerges—one that uses two electron spins to form a single quantum bit. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the potential for long-lived quantum memory using this system system, and find improved, specialized approaches to quantum communication and quantum computing using pairs of electron spins.
