van der Veen, J.R. (author), Valianti, S. (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author)The recent discovery of cable bacteria has greatly expanded the known length scale of biological electron transport, as these multi-cellular bacteria are capable of mediating electrical currents across centimeter-scale distances. To enable such long-range conduction, cable bacteria embed a network of regularly spaced, parallel protein fibers...journal article 2024

Niu, Jiasen (author), Bastiaans, K.M. (author), Ge, Jian Feng (author), Tomar, Ruchi (author), Jesudasan, John (author), Raychaudhuri, Pratap (author), Karrer, Max (author), Driessen, Eduard F.C. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)The shot noise in tunneling experiments reflects the Poissonian nature of the tunneling process. The shot-noise power is proportional to both the magnitude of the current and the effective charge of the carrier. Shot-noise spectroscopy thus enables us, in principle, to determine the effective charge q of the charge carriers of that tunnel....journal article 2024

Kounalakis, M. (author), Viola Kusminskiy, Silvia (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We propose a scheme for generating and controlling entangled coherent states (ECSs) of magnons, i.e., the quanta of the collective spin excitations in magnetic systems, or phonons in mechanical resonators. The proposed hybrid circuit architecture comprises a superconducting transmon qubit coupled to a pair of magnonic yttrium iron garnet...journal article 2023

(author)Magnetostrictive coupling has recently attracted interest as a sensitive method for studying magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) materials by mechanical means.

Bauer, G.E. (author), Tang, P. (author), Elyasi, M. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Van Wees, B. J. (author)We discuss spin-wave transport in anisotropic ferromagnets with an emphasis on the zeros of the band edges as a function of a magnetic field. An associated divergence of the magnon spin should be observable by enhanced magnon conductivities in nonlocal configurations, especially in two-dimensional ferromagnets.journal article 2023

Pereira Machado, J.D. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to 'n+1' and 'n' excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with this as well as other interpretations, such as quantum backaction and noise interference, and show that...journal article 2022

(author)Spin waves in magnetic insulators are low-damping signal carriers that can enable a new generation of spintronic devices.

(author)We determine magnon spectra of an atomic bilayer magnet with ferromagnetic intra- and both ferro- and antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling. Analytic expressions for the full magnon band of the latter case reveal that both exchange interactions govern the fundamental magnon gap. The inter- and intralayer magnetic ordering are not independent:...journal article 2021
