Quantum dots based on two-dimensional materials (2D-QDs) have received significant
attention due to their exceptional physical, chemical, and biological properties. They have …

Bilayer graphene is a promising platform for electrically controllable qubits in a two-
dimensional material. Of particular interest is the ability to encode quantum information in …

Current semiconductor qubits rely either on the spin or on the charge degree of freedom to
encode quantum information. By contrast, in bilayer graphene the valley degree of freedom …

Materials such as graphene and topological insulators host massless Dirac fermions that
enable the study of relativistic quantum phenomena. Single quantum dots and coupled …

The Kondo effect is a cornerstone in the study of strongly correlated fermions. The coherent
exchange coupling of conduction electrons to local magnetic moments gives rise to a Kondo …

Particle–hole symmetry plays an important role in the characterization of topological phases
in solid-state systems. It is found, for example, in free-fermion systems at half filling and it is …

Electrostatically defined quantum dots in bilayer graphene offer a promising platform for spin
qubits with presumably long coherence times due to low spin-orbit coupling and low nuclear …

Understanding how the electron spin is coupled to orbital degrees of freedom, such as a
valley degree of freedom in solid-state systems, is central to applications in spin-based …

Pauli blockade mechanisms—whereby carrier transport through quantum dots (QD) is
blocked due to selection rules even when energetically allowed—are a direct manifestation …
