• Abstract: Nonpolar atoms or molecules with low particle mass and weak inter-particle interactions can form quantum liquids and solids (QLS) at low temperatures. Excess electrons naturally bind to the surfaces of QLS in a vacuum, exhibiting unique quantum electronic behaviors in two and lower dimensions. This article reviews the historical development and recent progress in this field. Key topics include collective and individual electron transport on liquid helium, solid neon, and solid hydrogen; theoretical proposals and experimental efforts toward single-electron qubits on superfluid helium; the recent experimental realization of single-electron charge qubits on solid neon; and related theoretical calculations. Finally, we discuss and envision future exploration of quantum electronics in heterogeneous QLS systems.

• Coulomb interaction-driven entanglement of electrons on helium [0.0]
  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.

  Noncommuting charges have emerged as a subfield at the intersection of quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. We simulate a Heisenberg evolution using laser-induced entangling interactions and collective spin rotations. We find that small subsystems equilibrate to near a recently predicted non-Abelian thermal state.

  Single atoms and molecules on surfaces are investigated by physicists, chemists, and material scientists in search of novel electronic and magnetic functionalities. In 2015, it was first clearly demonstrated that individual spins on a surface can be coherently controlled and read out in an all-electrical fashion. This review aims to illustrate the essential ingredients that allow the quantum operations of single spins on surfaces.

• Imprinting the quantum statistics of photons on free electrons [0.15274583259797847]
  We observe quantum statistics effects of photons on free-electron-light interactions. We demonstrate interactions passing continuously from Poissonian to super-Poissonian and up to thermal statistics. Our findings suggest free-electron-based non-destructive quantum tomography of light, and constitute an important step towards combined atto-second and sub-A-spatial resolution microscopy.

• Quantum Hall phase emerging in an array of atoms interacting with photons [101.18253437732933]
  Topological quantum phases underpin many concepts of modern physics. Here, we reveal that the quantum Hall phase with topological edge states, spectral Landau levels and Hofstadter butterfly can emerge in a simple quantum system. Such systems, arrays of two-level atoms (qubits) coupled to light being described by the classical Dicke model, have recently been realized in experiments with cold atoms and superconducting qubits.

• Quantum Simulation of 2D Quantum Chemistry in Optical Lattices [59.89454513692418]
  We propose an analog simulator for discrete 2D quantum chemistry models based on cold atoms in optical lattices. We first analyze how to simulate simple models, like the discrete versions of H and H$+$, using a single fermionic atom. We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
