    Conductance of p-n-p graphene structures with 'air-bridge' top gates

    Full text link
    We have fabricated graphene devices with a top gate separated from the graphene layer by an air gap--a design which does not decrease the mobility of charge carriers under the gate. This gate is used to realise p-n-p structures where the conducting properties of chiral carriers are studied. The band profile of the structures is calculated taking into account the specifics of the graphene density of states and is used to find the resistance of the p-n junctions expected for chiral carriers. We show that ballistic p-n junctions have larger resistance than diffusive ones. This is caused by suppressed transmission of chiral carriers at angles away from the normal to the junction.Comment: to be published in Nano Letter

    Field-induced insulating states in a graphene superlattice

    We report on high-field magnetotransport (B up to 35 T) on a gated superlattice based on single-layer graphene aligned on top of hexagonal boron nitride. The large-period moir\'e modulation (15 nm) enables us to access the Hofstadter spectrum in the vicinity of and above one flux quantum per superlattice unit cell (Phi/Phi_0 = 1 at B = 22 T). We thereby reveal, in addition to the spin-valley antiferromagnet at nu = 0, two insulating states developing in positive and negative effective magnetic fields from the main nu = 1 and nu = -2 quantum Hall states respectively. We investigate the field dependence of the energy gaps associated with these insulating states, which we quantify from the temperature-activated peak resistance. Referring to a simple model of local Landau quantization of third generation Dirac fermions arising at Phi/Phi_0 = 1, we describe the different microscopic origins of the insulating states and experimentally determine the energy-momentum dispersion of the emergent gapped Dirac quasi-particles

    Quantum teleportation of EPR pair by three-particle entanglement

    Get PDF
    Teleportation of an EPR pair using triplet in state of the Horne-Greenberger-Zeilinger form to two receivers is considered. It needs a three-particle basis for joint measurement. By contrast the one qubit teleportation the required basis is not maximally entangled. It consists of the states corresponding to the maximally entanglement of two particles only. Using outcomes of measurement both receivers can recover an unknown EPR state however one of them can not do it separately. Teleportation of the N-particle entanglement is discussed.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX, 3 figure

    Giant Nonlocality near the Dirac Point in Graphene

    Get PDF
    Transport measurements have been a powerful tool for uncovering new electronic phenomena in graphene. We report nonlocal measurements performed in the Hall bar geometry with voltage probes far away from the classical path of charge flow. We observe a large nonlocal response near the Dirac point in fields as low as 0.1T, which persists up to room temperature. The nonlocality is consistent with the long-range flavor currents induced by lifting of spin/valley degeneracy. The effect is expected to contribute strongly to all magnetotransport phenomena near the neutrality point

    On the Mass Eigenstate Composition of the 8B Neutrinos from the Sun

    Get PDF
    The present data of gallium experiments provide indirectly the only experimental limit on the fraction of ν2\nu_2 mass eigenstate for the 8^8B neutrinos from the Sun. However, if to use the experimental data alone, the fraction of ν2\nu_2 and, consequently, sin2θsolsin^2\theta_{sol} still is allowed to be varied within a rather broad range. The further experimental efforts are needed to clear this point.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, 1 table. Corrected version, published in JCAP04(2007)00

    Quantum teleportation of entangled coherent states

    Get PDF
    We propose a simple scheme for the quantum teleportation of both bipartite and multipartite entangled coherent states with the successful probability 1/2. The scheme is based on only linear optical devices such as beam splitters and phase shifters, and two-mode photon number measurements. The quantum channels described by multipartite maximally entangled coherent states are readily made by the beam splitters and phase shifters.Comment: 4 pages, no figure
