• Abstract: In a two-dimensional electron gas, a strong perpendicular magnetic field confines electrons to quantized cyclotron orbits, giving rise to Landau levels with discrete orbit radii. Even the smallest Landau orbit, set by the magnetic length, spans tens of nanometers for fields of a few Tesla, imposing an intrinsic nonlocal response to electromagnetic excitations. From a microscopic theory of the nonlocal susceptibility, we derive the Green's function, the central quantity governing all electromagnetic interactions, and evaluate Purcell factors, Lamb shifts, and emission spectra from a proximal dipole emitter beyond the Markov and rotating-wave approximations. Significant nonlocal effects resulting from spatial dispersion of the Landau level response modify the response for experimentally relevant situations up to distances of hundreds of nanometers and, in particular, brighten locally dipole-forbidden transitions due to near-field gradients at multiples of the cyclotron frequency. The relevant length scales are typical of state-of-the-art nanostructured terahertz architectures, and some of our nonlocal features are consistent with recent experiments using Landau level polaritons.

  We investigate the coherent spin dynamics of a hetero-spin system formed by a spin S=1 featuring a non-zero crystal field. We show that the zero-quantum coherences we create between them can be remarkably long-lived. These spin dyads could be exploited as nanoscale gradiometers for precision magnetometry or as probes for magnetic-noise-free electrometry and thermal sensing.

  We find that the degeneracy of Landau levels, which arises in the case of the constant magnetic field, lifts out when the field is variable. Also the varying magnetic field splits Landau levels of electrons with zero angular momentum from positive angular momentum, unlike the constant field which only can split the levels between positive and negative angular momenta.
