Abstract: Luttinger liquids occupy a special place in physics as the most understood case of essentially quantum many-body systems. The experimental mission of measuring its main prediction, power laws in observable quantities, has already produced a body of exponents in different semiconductor and metallic structures. Here, we combine tunneling spectroscopy with density-dependent transport measurements in the same quantum wires over more than two orders of magnitude in temperature to very low electron temperatures down to $\sim$40 mK. This reveals that, when the second 1D subband becomes populated, the temperature dependence splits into two ranges with different exponents in the power-law dependence of the conductance, both dominated by the finite-size effect of the end-tunneling process. This result demonstrates the importance of measuring the Luttinger parameters as well as the number of modes independently through spectroscopy in addition to the transport exponent in the characterization of Luttinger liquids. This opens a new pathway to unambiguous interpretation of the exponents observed in quantum wires.

Limits for coherent optical control of quantum emitters in layered materials [49.596352607801784]
coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

Microscopic scale of quantum phase transitions: from doped semiconductors to spin chains, cold gases and moiré superlattices [0.0]
We develop a new method of data analysis to identify microscopic processes leading to quantum phase transitions (QPTs) We show that for many systems, the scaled data near QPTs can be approximated by the generic exponential dependence introduced in the scaling theory of localization. We have also conjectured that for interacting systems, the temperature cuts the renormalization group flow at the length travelled by a system-specific elementary excitation.

We look at how tunnelling spectroscopy can be used as the experimental tool of choice for probing correlation and interaction effects in 1D electron systems. We present some early experimental results obtained using tunnelling devices and how they contributed to the decisive observation of both spin-charge separation and power-law behaviour. In the second half of the chapter we introduce two nonlinear models that are counterparts to the TLL theory, known as the mobile-impurity and the mode-hierarchy pictures.
