In the past decades, great strides have been made in the synthesis of hybrid nanocrystals
(HNCs) consisting of two or more disparate subunits (such as metals and/or …

The recent emergence of two-dimensional layered materials—in particular the transition
metal dichalcogenides—provides a new laboratory for exploring the internal quantum …

Circularly polarized light (CPL) has considerable technological potential, from quantum
computing to bioimaging. To maximize the opportunity, high performance photodetectors …

As a consequence of degeneracies arising from crystal symmetries, it is possible for electron
states at band-edges ('valleys') to have additional spin-like quantum numbers,,,,,. An …

The interaction of subpicosecond laser pulses with magnetically ordered materials has
developed into a fascinating research topic in modern magnetism. From the discovery of …

Group-IV color centers in diamond are a promising light-matter interface for quantum
networking devices. The negatively charged tin-vacancy center (Sn V) is particularly …

This review describes a new paradigm of electronics based on the spin degree of freedom of
the electron. Either adding the spin degree of freedom to conventional charge-based …

The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

We are currently in the midst of a second quantum revolution The first quantum revolution
gave us new rules that govern physical reality. The second quantum revolution will take …

Here we report the properties of field-effect transistors based on a few layers of chemical
vapor transport grown α-MoTe2 crystals mechanically exfoliated onto SiO2. We performed …
