The controlled rotation of entanglement in altermagnets

Altermagnetism became very popular because of unique features, namely coupling between magnetic properties and momentum of itinerant electrons. The particular model of the altermagnetic system of our interest has already been studied in recent publications in a different context: Phys. Rev. B \textbf{108}, L140408 (2023). Here, we study the scattering process of an itinerant electron from the altermagnetic system on the electron localized in a quantum dot. We found a spatially inhomogeneous distribution of quantum entanglement in the post-scattering state. An interesting observation is the controlled rotation of entanglement achieved by means of spin-orbital coupling constant in altermagnetic. We also studied Reny entropy and the effect of disorder in the system leading to randomness in the spin-orbit constant. Our main finding is that due to the unique properties of an altermagnetic system, tuning the applied external magnetic field allows tailoring of the desired entangled state. Thus, the scattering process, in essence, mimics the Hadamard-CNOT Gate transformation, converting the initial disentangled state into the entangled state of Bell's state. In particular, we achieved more than 70 percent fidelity between the post-scattering and Bell's states.

Topological insulator and quantum memory

Measurements done on the quantum systems are too specific. Contrary to their classical counterparts, quantum measurements can be invasive and destroy the state of interest. Besides, quantumness limits the accuracy of measurements done on quantum systems. Uncertainty relations define the universal accuracy limit of the quantum measurements. Relatively recently, it was discovered that quantum correlations and quantum memory might reduce the uncertainty of quantum measurements. In the present work, we study two different types of measurements done on the topological system. Namely, we discuss measurements done on the spin operators and the canonical pair of operators: momentum and coordinate. We quantify the spin operator's measurements through the entropic measures of uncertainty and exploit the concept of quantum memory. While for the momentum and coordinate operators, we exploit the improved uncertainty relations. We discovered that quantum memory reduces the uncertainties of spin measurements. On the hand, we proved that the uncertainties in the measurements of the coordinate and momentum operators depend on the value of the momentum and are substantially enhanced at small distances between itinerant and localized electrons (the large momentum limit). We note that the topological nature of the system leads to the spin-momentum locking. The momentum of the electron depends on the spin and vice versa. Therefore, we suggest the indirect measurement scheme for the momentum and coordinate operators through the spin operator. Due to the factor of quantum memory, such indirect measurements in topological insulators have smaller uncertainties rather than direct measurements.

Random spin-orbit gates in the system of a Topological insulator and a Quantum dot

The spin-dependent scattering process in a system of topological insulator and quantum dot is studied. The unitary scattering process is viewed as a gate transformation applied to an initial state of two electrons. Due to the randomness imposed through the impurities and alloying-induced effects of band parameters, the formalism of the random unitary gates is implemented. For quantifying entanglement in the system, we explored concurrence and ensemble-averaged Rényi entropy. We found that applied external magnetic field leads to long-range entanglement on the distances much larger than the confinement length. We showed that topological features of itinerant electrons sustain the formation of robust long-distance entanglement, which survives even in the presence of a strong disorder.

Graphene with Rashba spin-orbit interaction and coupling to a magnetic layer: Electron states localized at the domain wall

Electron states localized at a magnetic domain wall in a graphene caplayer with Rashba spin-orbit interaction and coupled to a magnetic overlayer are studied theoretically. It is shown that two one-dimensional bands of edge modes propagating along the domain wall emerge in the energy gap for each Dirac point, and the modes associated with different Dirac points K and K' are the same. The coefficients describing decay of the corresponding wavefunctions with distance from the domain wall contain generally real and imaginary terms. Numerical results on the local spin density and on the total spin expected in the edge states characterized by the wavenumber $k_y$ are presented and discussed. The Chern number for a single magnetic domain on graphene indicates that the system is in the quantum anomalous Hall phase, with two chiral modes at the edges. In turn, the number of modes localized at the domain wall is determined by the difference in Chern numbers on both sides of the wall. These numbers are equal to 2 and -2, respectively, so there are four modes localized at the domain wall.

Thermoelectric and thermospin transport in a ballistic junction of graphene

We consider theoretically a wide graphene ribbon, that on both ends is attached to electronic reservoirs which generally have different temperatures. The graphene ribbon is assumed to be deposited on a substrate, that leads to a spin-orbit coupling of Rashba type. We calculate the thermally induced charge current in the ballistic transport regime as well as the thermoelectric voltage (Seebeck effect). Apart from this, we also consider thermally induced spin current and spin polarization of the graphene ribbon. The spin currents are shown to have generally two components; one parallel to the temperature gradient and the other one perpendicular to this gradient. The latter corresponds to the spin current due to the spin Nernst effect. Additionally, we also consider the heat current between the reservoirs due to transfer of electrons.

Enhanced photogalvanic effect in graphene due to Rashba spin-orbit coupling

We analyze theoretically optical generation of a spin-polarized charge current (photogalvanic effect) and spin polarization in graphene with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. An external magnetic field is applied in the graphene plane, which plays a crucial role in the mechanism of current generation. We predict a highly efficient resonant-like photogalvanic effect in a narrow frequency range which is determined by the magnetic field. A relatively less efficient photogalvanic effect appears in a broader frequency range, determined by the electron concentration and spin-orbit coupling strength.

Thermoelectric effect enhanced by the resonant states in graphene

Thermoelectric effects in graphene are considered theoretically with particular attention paid to the role of impurities. Using the T -matrix method we calculate the impurity resonant states and the momentum relaxation time due to scattering on impurities. The Boltzmann kinetic equation is used to determine the thermoelectric coefficients. It is shown that the resonant impurity states near the Fermi level give rise to a resonant enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient and of the figure of merit $ZT$ . The Wiedemann-Franz ratio deviates from that known for ordinary metals, where this ratio is constant and equal to the Lorentz number. This deviation appears for small chemical potentials and in the vicinity of the resonant states. In the limit of a constant relaxation time, this ratio has been calculated analytically for $μ=0$.

Optical spin injection in graphene with Rashba spin-orbit interaction

We calculate the efficiency of infrared optical spin injection in single-layer graphene with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and for in-plane magnetic field. The injection rate in the photon frequency range corresponding to the Rashba splitting is shown to be proportional to the ratio of the Zeeman and Rashba splittings. As a result, large spin polarization can be controllably achieved for experimentally available values of the spin-orbit coupling and in magnetic fields below 10 Tesla.

Thermally-induced spin polarization of a two dimensional electron gas

Spin polarization of a two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit interaction, induced by a thermo-current, is considered theoretically. It is shown that a temperature gradient gives rise to an in-plane spin polarization of the electron gas, which is normal to the temperature gradient. The low-temperature spin polarization changes sign when the Fermi level crosses bottom edge of the upper electronic subband. We also compare the results with spin polarization induced by an external electric field (current).

Nonlinear anomalous Hall effect and negative magnetoresistance in a system with random Rashba field

We predict two spin-dependent transport phenomena in two-dimensional electron systems, which are induced by spatially fluctuating Rashba spin-orbit interaction. When the electron gas is magnetized, the random Rashba interaction leads to the anomalous Hall effect. An example of such a system is a narrow-gap magnetic semiconductor-based symmetric quantum well. We show that the anomalous Hall conductivity reveals a strongly nonlinear dependence on the magnetization, decreasing exponentially at large spin density. We also show that electron scattering from a fluctuating Rashba field in a two-dimensional nonmagnetic electron system leads to a negative magnetoresistance arising solely due to spin-dependent effects.

Indirect Interaction of Magnetic Domain Walls

We calculate the electron-mediated exchange interaction between two domain walls in magnetic wires. This corresponds to the equilibrium regime and, therefore, the interaction can be additionally controlled by an electric current. The exchange interaction is long ranged and oscillates as a function of the distance between the walls. It also depends oscillatory on the polarization angle of the walls, having the maximum value for collinear polarization.

Robust to impurity-scattering spin Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gas

We propose a mechanism of spin Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gas with spatially random Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The calculations based on the Kubo formalism and kinetic equation show that in contrast to the constant spin-orbit coupling, spin Hall conductivity in the random spin-orbit field is not totally suppressed by the potential impurity scattering. Even if the regular contribution is removed by the vertex corrections, the terms we consider, remain. Therefore, the intrinsic spin-Hall effect exists being, however, non-universal.
