(author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)The temperature dependent order parameter provides important information on the nature of magnetism. Using traditional methods to study this parameter in two-dimensional (2D) magnets remains difficult, however, particularly for insulating antiferromagnetic (AF) compounds. We show that its temperature dependence in AF MPS3 (M(II) = Fe, Co, Ni)...conference paper 2023

Bondarenko, A.V. (author), Kounalakis, M. (author), Kusminskiy, Silvia Viola (author), Bauer, G.E. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)Optical photons are ideal carriers for long-distance transmission, while state-of-the-art quantum processors, such as supercon-ducting qubits, operate at microwave frequencies. An important requirement for networked quantum computation is therefore the ability to coherently convert the quantum information from microwave to optical frequencies...conference paper 2023

Joibari, F.K. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author)We study the transport of electrons through a single-mode quantum ring with electric-field induced Rashba spin-orbit interaction that is subject to an in-plane magnetic field and weakly coupled to electron reservoirs. Modeling a ring array by ensemble averaging over a Gaussian distribution of energy-level positions, we predict slow conductance...journal article 2013

Martin, I. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Morpurgo, A.F. (author)We study a new type of one-dimensional chiral states that can be created in bilayer graphene (BLG) by electrostatic lateral confinement. These states appear on the domain walls separating insulating regions experiencing the opposite gating polarity. While the states are similar to conventional solitonic zero modes, their properties are defined...journal article 2008

Didier, N. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Hekking, F.W.J. (author)Recently, a lasing effect has been observed in a superconducting nanocircuit where a Cooper-pair box, acting as an artificial three-level atom, was coupled to a resonator [O. Astafiev, K. Inomata, A. O. Niskanen, T. Yamamoto, Yu. A. Pashkin, Y. Nakamura, and J. S. Tsai, Nature (London) 449, 588 (2007)]. Motivated by this experiment, we analyze...journal article 2010

Medvedyeva, M.V. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We investigate the conductivity of graphene sheet deformed over a gate. The effect of the deformation on the conductivity is twofold: The lattice distortion can be represented as pseudovector potential in the Dirac equation formalism, whereas the gate causes inhomogeneous density redistribution. We use the elasticity theory to find the profile...journal article 2011

Martin, I. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We study electronic transport in graphene nanoribbons with rough edges. We first consider a model of weak disorder that corresponds to an armchair ribbon whose width randomly changes by a single unit cell size. We find that in this case, the low-temperature conductivity is governed by an effective one-dimensional hopping between segments of...journal article 2009

Pugnetti, S. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Dolcini, F. (author), Fazio, R. (author)We investigate the dynamics of a superconducting rectifying circuit, namely, a three-junction superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), where one arm of the superconducting loop consists of a nanomechanical resonator. We find that the dc characteristic curve of the system displays features that are directly related to the frequency...journal article 2009

Pugnetti, S. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Fazio, R. (author)We analyze the properties of a mechanical resonator embedded into a quantum SQUID and analyze under which conditions it is possible to realize a resonant coupling between the SQUID and the resonator. We find, within the present technology, how it is possible to tune the system into the regime where the plasma frequency of the SQUID matches the...journal article 2010

Romito, A. (author), Gefen, Y. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We propose a protocol for a controlled experiment to measure a weak value of the electron’s spin in a solid state device. The weak value is obtained by a two step procedure—weak measurement followed by a strong one (postselection), where the outcome of the first measurement is kept provided a second postselected outcome occurs. The setup...journal article 2008

Medvedyeva, M.V. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)Graphene is a convenient material for nanomechanical applications since high-frequency oscillations are easily accessible. In this article, we consider graphene on a rough substrate attached to imperfections at random locations. We explore the statistics of low-lying phonon modes, which exert most influence on the conductivity of graphene. Our...journal article 2013

Hoffman, S. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Tserkovnyak, Y. (author)We theoretically consider a Josephson junction formed by a ferromagnetic spacer with a strong spin-orbit interaction or a magnetic spin valve, i.e., a bilayer with one static and one free layer. Electron spin transport facilitates a nonlinear dynamical coupling between the magnetic moment and charge current, which consists of normal and...journal article 2012

Dukalski, M. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We study a system of two bosonic fields subject to two-mode squeezing in the presence of dissipation. We find the Lie algebra governing the dynamics of the problem and use the Wei-Norman method to determine the solutions. Using this scheme, we arrive at a closed-form expression for an infinitely dimensional density operator which we use to...journal article 2015

Didier, N. (author), Pugnetti, S. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Fazio, R. (author)Measuring the quantum dynamics of a mechanical system, when few phonons are involved, remains a challenge. We show that a superconducting microwave resonator linearly coupled to the mechanical mode constitutes a very powerful probe for this scope. This new coupling can be much stronger than the usual radiation pressure interaction by adjusting a...journal article 2011

Joibari, F.K. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author)Nonresonant circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation can exert torques on magnetizations by the inverse Faraday effect (IFE). Here, we discuss the enhancement of IFE by spin-orbit interactions. We illustrate the principle by studying a simple generic model system, i.e., the quasi-one-dimensional ring in the presence of linear/cubic Rashba...journal article 2014

Shevchuk, O. (author), Singh, V. (author), Steele, G.A. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)We investigate theoretically in detail the nonlinear effects in the response of an optical/microwave cavity coupled to a Duffing mechanical resonator. The cavity is driven by a laser at a red or blue mechanical subband, and a probe laser measures the reflection close to the cavity resonance. Under these conditions, we find that the cavity...journal article 2015
