Electrically defined semiconductor quantum dots are attractive systems for spin manipulation and quantum information processing. Heavy-holes in both Si and GaAs are promising candidates for all-electrical spin manipulation, owing to the weak hyperfine interaction and strong spin-orbit interaction. However, it has only recently become possible to make stable quantum dots in these systems, mainly due to difficulties in device fabrication and stability. Here, we present electrical transport measurements on holes in a gate-defined double quantum dot in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. We observe clear Pauli spin blockade and demonstrate that the lifting of this spin blockade by an external magnetic field is highly anisotropic. Numerical calculations of heavy-hole transport through a double quantum dot in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling show quantitative agreement with experimental results and suggest that the observed anisotropy can be explained by both the anisotropic effective hole g-factor and the surface Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction.

We propose a theoretical scheme for dipole exchange-induced grating (DEIG) based on a hybrid coherent atomic system. The system consists of an ultra-cold rubidium (Rb) atomic ensemble and movable Rydberg spin atoms. The optical response of the grating appears as a superposition of three- and four-level configurations, which is similar to the cooperative optical nonlinearity caused by the dipole blockade effect.

Background: Establishing a pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopy is common surgical practice, with the goal to create an optimal surgical workspace within the abdominal cavity while minimizing insufflation pressure. Individualized strategies, based on neuromuscular blockade (NMB), pre-stretching routines, and personalized intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) to enhance surgical conditions are strategies to improve surgical workspace. However, the specific impact of each factor remains uncertain.

Article Synopsis
- Superconductivity and magnetism can compete yet coexist, resulting in unique behaviors such as exotic electron pairing and topological phases.
- This study focuses on a Josephson junction made of two spin-split superconductors, where the spin-splitting is influenced by a ferromagnetic material or an external magnetic field.
- The findings reveal that Andreev bound states impact the junction's properties, leading to a ground-state transition that suppresses the supercurrent, particularly emphasizing the role of p-wave pairing when magnetizations of the superconductors are aligned.

Selective KRAS inhibitors have been developed to covalently lock the oncogene in the inactive GDP-bound state. Two of these molecules, sotorasib and adagrasib, are approved for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS-mutated previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Drug treatment imposes selective pressures leading to the outgrowth of drug-resistant variants.

We investigate electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR) induced by an oscillating electric field within a system of double quantum dots formed electrostatically in monolayer phosphorene. Apart from the observed anisotropy of effective masses, phosphorene has been predicted to exhibit anisotropic spin-orbit coupling. Here, we examine a system consisting of two electrons confined in double quantum dots.
