Pseudo-Landau levels splitting triggers quantum friction at folded graphene edge
Construction of folded graphene
To achieve graphene folding, monolayer and multilayer graphene flakes were mechanically exfoliated onto a Si/SiO2 substrate. By lateral scanning with an applied normal load at the atomic force microscope (AFM) tip,…

Edge-feeding synchronous epitaxy of layer-controlled graphene films on heterogeneous catalytic substrates
Synchronous epitaxial growth strategy
Figure 1a depicts the process of edge-feeding synchronous growth of trilayer graphene, facilitated by heterogeneous Cu–Cu2O substrates. The Cu substrate serves both as a supporting platform and as the raw…

Deterministic generation of two-dimensional multi-photon cluster states
Device architecture and cluster state generation protocol
To generate ladder-like cluster states, we use two transmon qubits whose lowest three levels we label \(\vert g\rangle\), \(\vert e\rangle\) and \(\vert \, f\rangle\), tunably coupled to…
