• Abstract: We investigate transport properties through a rectangular potential barrier in AB-stacked bilayer graphene (AB-BLG) gapped by dielectric layers. Using the Dirac-like Hamiltonian with a transfer matrix approach we obtain transmission and reflection probabilities as well as the associated conductance. For two-band model and at normal incidence, we find extra resonances appearing in transmission compared to biased AB-BLG, which are Fabry-P\'erot resonance type. Now by taking into account the inter-layer bias, we show that both of transmission and anti-Klein tunneling are diminished. Regarding four band model, we find that the gap suppresses transmission in an energy range by showing some behaviors look like "Mexican hats". We examine the total conductance and show that it is affected by the gap compared to AA-stacked bilayer graphene. In addition, we find that the suppression in conductance is more important than that for biased AB-BLG.

  We experimentally study thermopower in high-quality monolayer graphene within heterostructures consisting of complete hBN encapsulation and 1D edge contacts. We show that the temperature dependence of the thermopower enables the assessment of the role of built-in strain variation and van Hove singularities. We show the same superlattice device can exhibit a temperature-driven thermopower reversal from positive to negative and vice versa, by controlling the carrier density.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

  We study the conductance through single-layer graphene (SLG) and AA/AB-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) junctions. For Fermi energy larger than the interlayer hopping, the conductance as a function of the bilayer region length $d$ reveals two different models of anti-resonances.

Numerical results for our system show that the transport is sensitive to the height, the width and the distance between the two barriers.

• Superconducting coupler with exponentially large on-off ratio [68.8204255655161]
  Tunable two-qubit couplers offer an avenue to mitigate errors in multiqubit superconducting quantum processors. Most couplers operate in a narrow frequency band and target specific couplings, such as the spurious $ZZ$ interaction. We introduce a superconducting coupler that alleviates these limitations by suppressing all two-qubit interactions with an exponentially large on-off ratio.

  We report the discovery of electric-field-induced transition from a topologically trivial to a topologically nontrivial band structure in an atomically sharp heterostructure of bilayer graphene (BLG) and single-layer Zeee2. Our analysis shows that quantum correction to the Drude conductance in Dirac materials with strong induced SOI can only be explained satisfactorily by a theory that accounts for the SOI-induced spin splitting of the BLG low-energy bands.

  Josephson current is investigated in a superconducting graphene bilayer where pristine graphene sheets can make in-plane or out-of-plane displacements with respect to each other. Results demonstrate that the supercurrent responds qualitatively differently to relative displacement if the superconductivity is due to either intralayer or interlayer spin-singlet electron-electron pairing.
