- Abstract: Piezoelectric surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are powerful for investigating
and controlling elementary and collective excitations in condensed matter. In
semiconductor two-dimensional electron systems SAWs have been used to reveal
the spatial and temporal structure of electronic states, produce quantized
charge pumping, and transfer quantum information. In contrast to
semiconductors, electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium form
an ultra-high mobility, two-dimensional electron system home to
strongly-interacting Coulomb liquid and solid states, which exhibit non-trivial
spatial structure and temporal dynamics prime for SAW-based experiments. Here
we report on the coupling of electrons on helium to an evanescent piezoelectric
SAW. We demonstrate precision acoustoelectric transport of as little as ~0.01%
of the electrons, opening the door to future quantized charge pumping
experiments. We also show SAWs are a route to investigating the high-frequency
dynamical response, and relaxational processes, of collective excitations of
the electronic liquid and solid phases of electrons on helium.

We theoretically investigate the generation of emphmotional entanglement between two electrons via their unscreened Coulomb interaction.
We compute the motional energy spectra of the electrons, as well as their entanglement, by diagonalizing the model Hamiltonian with respect to a single-particle Hartree product basis.
In particular, the theoretical tools developed here can be used for fine tuning and optimization of control parameters in future experiments with electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium or solid neon.

Transition metal dichalcogenides layered nano-crystals are emerging as promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronic and quantum devices.
Here, we use ultrafast electron diffraction and ab initio calculations to investigate the many-body structural dynamics following nearly-resonant excitation of low-energy indirect excitons in MoS2.
Our results highlight the strong selectivity of phononic excitations directly associated with the specific indirect-exciton nature of the wavelength-dependent electronic transitions triggered in the system.
