The conductance of graphene nanoribbons and nanoconstrictions under the effect of a scanning gate microscopy tip is systematically studied. Using a scattering approach for noninvasive probes, the first- and second-order conductance corrections caused by the tip potential disturbance are expressed explicitly in terms of the scattering states of the...

In the field of quantum chaos, spectral statistics is one of the most extensively investigated characteristics. Despite a large body of existing literature, the effects of many-body interactions on the spectral statistics of relativistic quantum systems remain poorly understood. Treating electron-electron interactions through the one-orbital mean-f...

Wave function scars refer to localized complex patterns of enhanced wave function probability distributions in a quantum system. Existing experimental studies of wave function scars concentrate nearly exclusively on nonrelativistic quantum systems. Here we present a combined experimental and theoretical study of a relativistic quantum cavity system...

Quantum scar is an intriguing phenomenon in quantum or wave dynamics that the wavefunction takes an exceptionally large value around an unstable periodic orbit. It has attracted much attention and advances the understanding of the semiclassical quantization. Most of previous researches involving quantum scars focus on hard-wall quantum billiards. H...

For a quantum system with multiple degrees of freedom or subspaces, loss of coherence in a certain subspace is intimately related to the enhancement of entanglement between this subspace and another one. We investigate intra-particle entanglement in two-dimensional mesoscopic systems, where an electron has both spin and orbital degrees of freedom a...

The role of classical dynamics in spin transport is an intriguing problem from the point of view of classical-quantum correspondence, as spin is a purely relativistic quantum mechanical variable with no classical counterpart. Nevertheless, due to spin-orbit coupling (generally referred to as the relativistic interaction of a particle's spin with it...
