Quantum well states are a consequence of confinement in a quantum cavity. In this study we investigate with photoemission the influence of the interface electronic structure on the quantum well state energy dispersion in ultrathin Mg(0001) films on W(110). Coupling between the sp-derived quantum well states and the substrate across the interface becomes manifest in a deviation from free electronlike dispersion behavior. Most importantly, we observe a marked level splitting, which is interpreted as due to the Rashba effect at the interface. Such an interfacial electron beam splitting on materials with strong spin-orbit coupling is an essential ingredient for novel spintronic devices. The combination of a quantum cavity with a heavy, electron reflecting substrate reveals spin-splitting effects in ultrathin films without conventional magnetism being involved.

Classically, the refractive index of a medium is due to a response on said medium from an electromagnetic field. It has been shown that a single two-level atom interacting with a single photon undergoes dispersion. The following extends that analyses to a three-level system interacting with two photons.

Dark photons, as a minimal extension of the Standard Model through an additional Abelian gauge group, may propagate relativistically across the galaxy, originating from dark matter decay or annihilation, thereby contributing to a galactic dark photon background. The generation of dark photons typically favors certain polarization modes, which are dependent on the interactions between dark matter and dark photons. We introduce a framework in which a resonant cavity is utilized to detect and differentiate these polarizations, leveraging the daily variation in expected signals due to the anisotropic distribution of dark photons and the rotation of the Earth.

Direct interactions between quantum particles naturally fall off with distance. However, future quantum computing architectures are likely to require interaction mechanisms between qubits across a range of length scales. In this work, we demonstrate a coherent interaction between two semiconductor spin qubits 250 μm apart using a superconducting resonator.

Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are high-efficiency optoelectronic materials attracting great interest, but further improvement in the luminescence efficiency is crucial for their application. In this work, we enhance both the spontaneous emission rate and the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of CsPbBr QDs by coupling them to a high quality () factor SiO microdisk cavity. Compared to conventional metal plasmonic cavities, the dielectric cavity structure suppresses the effects of quenching and energy transfer, which could introduce complex fluctuations and nonradiative decays.

Background: Cleft lip with/without palate (CL/P) patients require multiple interdisciplinary procedures at different phases of their life. CL/P patients have a high burden of care that has financial repercussion, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Lowering preventable diseases such as caries can mitigate this challenge.
