• Abstract summary: tunneling-induced layer hybridization can lead to the emergence of two distinct classes of Feshbach resonances in atomically thin semiconductors. Based on microscopic scattering theory we show that these two types of Feshbach resonances allow to tune interactions between electrons and both short-lived intralayer, as well as long-lived interlayer excitons.

• Abstract: Feshbach resonances play a vital role in the success of cold atoms investigating strongly-correlated physics. The recent observation of their solid-state analog in the scattering of holes and intralayer excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides [Schwartz et al., Science 374, 336 (2021)] holds compelling promise for bringing fully controllable interactions to the field of semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate how tunneling-induced layer hybridization can lead to the emergence of two distinct classes of Feshbach resonances in atomically thin semiconductors. Based on microscopic scattering theory we show that these two types of Feshbach resonances allow to tune interactions between electrons and both short-lived intralayer, as well as long-lived interlayer excitons. We predict the exciton-electron scattering phase shift from first principles and show that the exciton-electron coupling is fully tunable from strong to vanishing interactions. The tunability of interactions opens the avenue to explore Bose-Fermi mixtures in solid-state systems in regimes that were previously only accessible in cold atom experiments.

• Feshbach hypothesis of high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates [0.0]
  We present a Feshbach perspective on the origin of strong pairing in Fermi-Hubbard type models. Existing experimental and numerical results on hole-doped cuprates lead us to conjecture the existence of a light, long-lived, low-energy excited state of two holes. The emergent Feshbach resonance we propose could also underlie superconductivity in other doped antiferromagnetic Mott insulators.

• Realizing Topological Superconductivity in Tunable Bose-Fermi Mixtures with Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures [0.0]
  We propose to engineer Bose-Fermi mixtures by coupling inter-layer excitons to doped charges in a trilayer structure. Their interactions are determined by the inter-layer trion, whose spin-selective nature allows excitons to mediate an attractive interaction between charge carriers of only one spin species. Remarkably, we find that this causes the system to become unstable to topological p+ip superconductivity at low temperatures.

  Superconductivity and charge density waves are observed in close vicinity in strongly correlated materials. We investigate the nature of such an intertwined state of matter stabilized in the phase diagram of the elementary $t$-$tprime$-$U$ Hubbard model. We provide conclusive evidence that the macroscopic wave functions of the superconducting fragments are well-described by soliton solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau equation.

For the combined system, we identify an effective eigenvalue equation that governs the center-of-mass motion of the dressed excitons in a plasmon-induced potential.

• Higher-order topological Peierls insulator in a two-dimensional atom-cavity system [58.720142291102135]
  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

  We investigate a cold atomic Bose-Fermi mixture confined in an optical lattice potential solely affecting the bosons. Under attractive Bose-Fermi interaction, the insulating phase may adopt a fermionic wedding-cake-like configuration. For repulsive interaction, the trap destabilizes the Peierls phase, causing the two species to separate.

  One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

• Tunable Feshbach resonances and their spectral signatures in bilayer semiconductors [0.0]
  We theoretically analyze a solid-state analogue of a Feshbach resonance in two dimensional semiconductor heterostructures. In the presence of inter-layer electron tunneling, the scattering of excitons and electrons occupying different layers can be resonantly enhanced by tuning an applied electric field. The emergence of an inter-layer Feshbach molecule modifies the optical excitation spectrum, and can be understood in terms of Fermi polaron formation.

• Chemical tuning of spin clock transitions in molecular monomers based on nuclear spin-free Ni(II) [52.259804540075514]
  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
