• Abstract summary: Raman scattering signal can be enhanced through localization into sub-wavelength hot-spots through plasmonic nano-structures. We propose further enhancement of SERS signal via quantum objects without increasing the hot-spot intensity. In this work, we extend this phenomenon to tune the spectral position of textitsilent-enhancement factor.

• Abstract: Raman scattering signal can be enhanced through localization of incident field into sub-wavelength hot-spots through plasmonic nano-structures (Surface-enhanced Raman scattering-SERS). Recently, further enhancement of SERS signal via quantum objects are proposed by [1] without increasing the hot-spot intensity (\textit{silent-enhancement}) where this suggestion prevents the modification of vibrational modes or the breakdown of molecules. The method utilizes path interference in the non-linear response of Stokes-shifted Raman modes. In this work, we extend this phenomenon to tune the spectral position of \textit{silent-enhancement} factor where the multiple vibrational modes can be detected with a better signal-to-noise ratio, simultaneously. This can be achieved in two different schemes by employing either (i) graphene structures with quantum emitters or (ii) replacing quantum emitters with graphene spherical nano-shell in \cite{Postaci2018}. In addition, the latter system is exactly solvable in the steady-state. These suggestions not only preserve conventional non-linear Raman processes but also provide flexibility to enhance (silently) multiple vibrational Raman modes due to the tunable optical properties of graphene.

• Simulating twistronics without a twist [0.0]
  We propose a highly tunable scheme to synthetically emulate twisted bilayer systems with ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. In our scheme, neither a physical bilayer nor twist is directly realized. Instead, two synthetic layers are produced exploiting coherently-coupled internal atomic states. To illustrate this concept, we focus on a synthetic square bilayer lattice and show that it leads to tunable quasi-flatbands and Dirac cone spectra under certain magic supercell periodicities.
