Entanglement in a three spin system controlled by electric and magnetic field
We show influence of electric field and magnetic flux on spin entanglement in
an artificial triangular molecule build of coherently coupled quantum dots. In
a subspace of doublet states an explicit relation of concurrence with spin
correlation functions and chirality is presented. The electric field modifies
super-exchange correlations, shifts many-electron levels (the Stark effect) as
well as changes spin correlations. For some specific orientation of the
electric field one can observe monogamy, for which one of the spins is
separated from two others. Moreover, the Stark effect manifests itself in
different spin entanglement for small and strong electric fields. A role of
magnetic flux is opposite, it leads to circulation of spin supercurrents and
spin delocalization.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure
Theoretical Studies of Quantum Interference in Electronic Transport Through Carbon Nanotubes
We performed studies of coherent electronic transport through a single walled
carbon nanotube. In the calculations multiple scattering on the contacts and
interference processes were taken into account. Conductance is a composition of
contributions from different channels. We studied also spin--dependent
transport in the system with ferromagnetic electrodes.
The magnetoresistance is large and shows large oscillations, it can be even
negative in some cases.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, oral presentation at the XXXI International

Fano versus Kondo Resonances in a Multilevel "Semi-Open" Quantum Dot
Linear conductance across a large quantum dot via a single level e_0 with
large hybridization to the contacts is strongly sensitive to quasi-bound states
localized in the dot and weakly coupled to e_0. It oscillates with the gate
voltage due to interference of the Fano type. At low temperature and Coulomb
blockade, Kondo correlations damp the oscillations on an extended range of gate
voltage values, by freezing the occupancy of the e_0 level itself. As a
consequence, antiresonances of Fano origin are washed out. The results are in
good correspondence with experimental data for a large quantum dot in the
semi-open regime.Comment: 4 eps figures, RevTex format, revised version, to appear in Phys.

Algorithms and Misinformation: The Constitutional Implications of Regulating Microtargeting
The increased popularity of social media in recent years has brought with it unwanted consequences. Most notably, the world is experiencing a widespread epidemic of online misinformation and disinformation. In the form of news stories and advertisements, false information about candidates like Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump has spread over Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Since false information is often more sensational than the truth, this information is reposted and shared until it reaches millions of people. However, the real culprit of this misinformation phenomenon is microtargeting—algorithms that exploit users’ personal information and previous media interactions to target specific posts to individual users. These algorithms send posts to users’ newsfeeds without regard for the credibility of the information, leading users to believe that what they are seeing is true. Further, microtargeting intensifies political party polarization because users are only shown posts with which they already agree. Can the government do anything about this? This Comment examines the extent to which micro targeting can be regulated without exceeding the confines of the First Amendment
