    Thermoelectric performance of quantum dots embedded in an Aharonov-Bohm ring: a Pauli master equation approach

    Three QDs arranged symmetrically in an AB ring

    This section focuses on the symmetric arrangement of triple QDs in an AB ring. We adopt equal AB phase for each arm, which can be expressed as follows: \(\phi _{12}=\phi _{23}=\phi _{31}=\frac{\phi…

    High-dimensional non-Abelian holonomy in integrated photonics

    High-dimensional non-Abelian holonomy

    We implement non-Abelian holonomy on the integrated photonic platform. Based on coupled-mode theory19, the dynamics of light propagation in waveguides follow a Schrödinger-like equation: \(H(z)\left|\psi…
