Tantalum disulphide (1$T$-TaS$_2$) is a layered material which hosts an insulating commensurate charge density wave (CCDW) at temperatures below ~165K. Recent investigations of 1$T$-TaS$_2$ have revealed the existence of a metastable metallic phase accessible from this CCDW phase by applying a laser- or current pulse. Here we present Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM/STS)...

The metallic kagome ferromagnet Fe$_3$Sn$_2$, which shows large spin-orbital coupling, hosts various exotic electronic/magnetic states, including flat electronic bands, massive Dirac fermions, and field-tunable nematicity. While most studies focus on the electronic degree of freedom, investigations of the spin excitations are scarce. Here we studied the character of the low-energy excitations...

Wide bandgap oxides (WBGOs) have exhibited superior material properties for power electronics and optoelectronics. However, transient electronic dynamics right after high-density carrier injection into the conduction band of WBGOs has not been fully understood.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have attracted great attention in recent years due to their enormous potential for application in optoelectronic devices.

Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), are promising candidates for opto-electronic devices because of their intrinsically strong light-matter interaction. However, excitons in monolayer MoS2 are not electrically tunable due to their limited out-of-plane extend, leading to a minimal electric dipole moment. We engineered a tunable system using...

Recent advances in signal processing enable the fundamentally faster measurement of the current-voltage characteristic for tunneling spectroscopy through the parallel demodulation of higher harmonics that are produced from nonlinearities in the tunneling junction. The local density of states (LDOS) can thus be measured in a few milliseconds. Here, we use the fast spectroscopy for quasiparticle...

The discovery of ferromagnetic 2D van der Waals (vdW) crystals allows the study of novel magnetic phenomena at a reduced dimensionality. While exfoliated 2D vdW crystals offer only limited control of their exact geometry, 2D magnets grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) overcome this limitation. Here, we investigate the MBE grown 2D in-plane ferromagnet EuGe$_2$ on a nanostructured substrate...

Recent experiments with metallic nanowire devices suggest that superconductivity can be suppressed by the application of electric fields, at odds with current understanding of electrostatic screening in metals. We demonstrate that the control of superconductivity in such switches does not depend on the presence of an electric field at the nanowire surface but requires a current of high-energy...

Experimentally simple cubic phosphorus displays a peculiar pressure-$T_c$ curve with valley- and ridge-like features between 12 and 50 GPa. From the theoretical side, a simple electron-phonon mechanism proves insufficient to describe this behaviour.

Identifying relevant coarse degrees of freedom in a complex system is a key stage in developing effective theories.

Laws of friction have been studied since 500 years, yet their microscopic underpinning still eludes us.

Preparation of quantum states in form of a variational quantum circuit plays a crucial role in quantum computing. We show that, in addition to circuit architecture, the fidelity of the prepared state depends non-trivially on the number of circuit shots $N_s$ used in gradient descent. Namely, we observe that fidelity shows a critical behavior in $N_s$, giving rise to the notion of critical...

A subroutine of many quantum algorithms is the diagonalization of Pauli operators. Although it is always possible to construct a quantum circuit that simultaneously diagonalizes commuting Pauli operators, only resource-efficient circuits are reliably executable on near-term quantum computers.

A few years ago [1], it was proposed that materials hosting narrow topological bands can support nontrivial superfluid weight, with Tc beyond the conventional BCS limits. This behavior roots to the large spread of electronic orbitals in topological bands, which is linked to properties of quantum metrics associated with electronic Bloch states [2,3].

We observe how vacuum cavity fields modify magneto-transport in the integer quantum Hall effect. In particular, odd filling factors lose their quantization, while fractional states remain intact. We quantitatively describe this loss of quantization as vacuum field induced resistivity.

K3+xC60 film exhibits Mott transitions and superconductivity, depending on dimensionality and doping. Surprisingly, in the trilayer case, a strong electron-hole doping asymmetry has been observed in the SC-phase absent in the bulk. Using DFT+DMFT, we show this doping asymmetry results from a substantial charge reshuffling from the top layer to the middle layer. While the nominal filling per...

Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) upon quantum quenches are useful for the identification of non-trivial topology of non-interacting systems [1]. Periodic occurrences of DQPTs are guaranteed in Chern insulators if the moduli of initial and final Hamiltonians are different. Whether such a sufficient condition holds for interacting systems has remained elusive. To this end, we study...
