Strong photon coupling to the quadrupole moment of an electron in solid state
The implementation of circuit quantum electrodynamics allows coupling distant qubits by microwave photons hosted in on-chip superconducting resonators. Typically, the qubit-photon interaction is realized by coupling the photons to the electric dipole moment of the qubit. A recent proposal suggests storing the quantum i...

Accurate metasurface synthesis incorporating near-field coupling effects
One of the most promising metasurface architectures for the microwave and terahertz frequency ranges consists of three patterned metallic layers separated by dielectrics. Such metasurfaces are well suited to planar fabrication techniques and their synthesis is facilitated by modelling them as impedance sheets separated...

Manifestation of the Purcell effect in current transport through a dot-cavity-QED system
We study the transport properties of a wire-dot system coupled to a cavity and a photon reservoir. Tuning the photon energy, Rabi-resonant states emerge and in turn resonant current peaks are observed. We demonstrate the effects of the cavity-photon reservoir coupling, the mean photon number in the reservoir, the elect...

Coupling Matrix Representation of Nonreciprocal Filters Based on Time Modulated Resonators
This paper addresses the analysis and design of non-reciprocal filters based on time modulated resonators. We analytically show that time modulating a resonator leads to a set of harmonic resonators composed of the unmodulated lumped elements plus a frequency invariant element that accounts for differences in the reson...

Quasi phase reduction of all-to-all strongly coupled $λ-ω$ oscillators near incoherent states
The dynamics of an ensemble of $N$ weakly coupled limit-cycle oscillators can be captured by their $N$ phases using standard phase reduction techniques. However, it is a phenomenological fact that all-to-all strongly coupled limit-cycle oscillators may behave as "quasiphase oscillators", evidencing the need of novel re...

Minimal gauge invariant couplings at order $α'^3$: NS-NS fields
Removing the field redefinitions, the Bianchi identities and the total derivative freedoms from the general form of gauge invariant NS-NS couplings at order $\alpha'^3$, we have found that the minimum number of independent couplings is 872. We find that there are schemes in which there is no term with structures $R,\,R...

Magnon Polarons induced by a magnetic field gradient
In this work, we report the theoretical possibility of generating magnon polaron excitations through a space-varying magnetic field. The spatial dependence of the magnetic field in the Zeeman interaction gives rise to a magnon-phonon coupling when a magnetic field gradient is applied, and such a coupling depends direct...

The Effect of Coupling Memory and Block Length on Spatially Coupled Serially Concatenated Codes
Spatially coupled serially concatenated codes (SC-SCCs) are a class of spatially coupled turbo-like codes, which have a close-to-capacity performance and low error floor. In this paper we investigate the impact of coupling memory, block length, decoding window size, and number of iterations on the performance, complexi...

Surface acoustic wave coupling between micromechanical resonators
The coupling of micro- or nanomechanical resonators via a shared substrate is intensively exploited to built systems for fundamental studies and practical applications. So far, the focus has been on devices operating in the kHz regime with a spring-like coupling. At resonance frequencies above several 10 MHz, wave prop...

Erasable signature of Majorana bound state due to coupling with the T-shaped quantum-dot structure
We theoretically study the transport properties in the T-shaped double-quantum-dot structure, by introducing the Majorana bound state (MBS) to couple to the dot in the main channel. It is found that the side-coupled dot governs the effect of the MBS on the transport behavior. When its level is consistent with the energ...

Realizing highly entangled states in asymmetrically coupled three NV centers at room temperature
Despite numerous efforts the coupling between randomly arranged multi-NV centers and also resonators has not been improved significantly mainly due to our limited knowledge of their entanglement times (2t_ent). Here, we demonstrate a very strong coupling between three-NV centers by using a simulated triple electron-ele...

Long-Distance Coupling and Energy Transfer between Exciton States in Magnetically Controlled Microcavities
Coupling of quantum emitters in a semiconductor relies, generally, on short-range dipole-dipole or electronic exchange type interactions. Consistently, energy transfer between exciton states, that is, electron-hole pairs bound by Coulomb interaction, is limited to distances of the order of 10~nm. Here, we demonstrate p...

Strong coupling of alkali spins to noble-gas spins with hour-long coherence time
Nuclear spins of noble gases can maintain coherence for hours at ambient conditions owing to their extraordinary isolation by the enclosing, complete electronic shells. This isolation, however, impedes the ability to manipulate and control them by optical means or by physical coupling to other spin gases. Here we exper...
