We report spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy measurements of an Anderson impurity system in MoS_{2} mirror-twin boundaries, where both the quantum-confined impurity state and the Kondo resonance resulting from the interaction with the substrate are accessible. Using a spin-polarized tip, we observe magnetic-field-induced changes in the peak heights of the Anderson impurity states as well as in the magnetic-field-split Kondo resonance. Quantitative comparison with numerical renormalization group calculations provides evidence of the notable spin polarization of the spin-resolved impurity spectral function under the influence of a magnetic field. Moreover, we extract the field and temperature dependence of the impurity magnetization from the differential conductance measurements and demonstrate that this exhibits the universality and asymptotic freedom of the S=1/2 Kondo effect. This work shows that mirror-twin boundaries can be used as a testing ground for theoretical predictions on quantum impurity models.

High-precision molecular manipulation techniques are used to control the distance between radical molecules on superconductors. Our results show that the molecules can host single electrons with a spin 1/2. By changing the distance between tip and sample, a quantum phase transition from the singlet to doublet ground state can be induced.

Measurement of antibody and antibody fusion protein concentration is vital for process development and manufacturing. Continuous, in-line monitoring of antibody concentration could be useful in a variety of applications, such as controlling the loading of protein A columns to prevent breakthrough, monitoring bioreactor titer, and detecting leaks past ultrafiltration/diafiltration membranes. Molecule-specific monitoring techniques are advantageous for antibody detection in cell culture fluid in the presence of complex process impurities.

This study investigates quantum information scrambling (QIS) in a semiconductor quantum dot array. Starting with the 1D Transverse Field Ising model, we expand to more relevant quasi-2D frameworks such as the Heisenberg chain, super-extended Fermi-Hubbard (FH) and hardcore FH models. Assessing their relevance to semiconductor spin-qubit quantum computers, simulations of multipartite correlation formation examine qubit encoding strategies' fidelity, stability, and robustness, revealing trade-offs among these aspects.
