More specifically, we describe a remote instrumentation system to determine of the value of the elementary charge by using the Millikan method. The system is composed of hardware and software integrated to an Arduino platform in order to control and communication with the computer. The evaluation of the prototype was conducted in two tests, involving a teacher from the public high school and 14 students also from the public high school. The quantitative and qualitative results point out to the feasibility of implementing the didatic resource.

Research paper thumbnail of Frequency doubling of Bloch oscillations for interacting electrons in a static electric field

We solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation to follow the time evolution of an initially localized two-electron state. For electrons initially far apart, the wave packet develops Bloch oscillations whose characteristic frequency is in agreement with a semiclassical calculation. For initially close electrons in a singlet state, a frequency doubling sets up, which is more pronounced for intermediate couplings. We discuss this effect by revealing the opposite trends the electron-electron coupling produces on the wave-packet components corresponding to bounded and unbounded states.

We solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation to follow the time evolution of an initially localized Gaussian two-electron wave packet. In the regime of strongly correlated disorder, for which one-electron extended eigenstates emerge near the band center, the electron-electron coupling promotes the trapping of a finite portion of the wave packet. In the presence of a uniform electric field, the wave packet develops complex Bloch oscillations. The power spectrum of the centroid's velocity trace shows a splitting near the typical semiclassical Bloch frequency, as well as a frequency doubling phenomenon for intermediate couplings which is related to the bounded states components that are present in the wave packet. Finally, we show that localized and extended two-electron eigenstates coexist near the band center with the level spacing distribution showing a universal Poissonian form irrespective to the Hubbard coupling.

Research paper thumbnail of Probing coherence and noise tolerance in discrete-time quantum walks: Unveiling self-focusing and breathing dynamics

Based on remarkable experimental progress in optics and ultra-cold gases, we study the consequences of a short-time (instantaneous) noise while an intensity-dependent phase acquisition is associated with a qubit propagating on N-cycle. By employing quantum coherence measures, we report emerging unstable regimes in which hitherto unknown quantum walks arise, such as self-focusing and breathing dynamics. Our results unveil appropriate settings which favor the stable regime, with the asymptotic distribution surviving for weak nonlinearities and disappearing in the thermodynamic limit with 1/N. The diagram showing the threshold between different regimes reveals the quantum gates close to Pauli-Z as more noise-tolerant. As we move towards the Pauli-X quantum gate, such aptness dramatically decreases and the threshold to self-focusing regime becomes almost unavoidable. Quantum gates close to Hadamard exhibit an unusual aspect, in which an increment of the nonlinear strength can remove the dynamics from self-focusing regime.

The hopping energies along one lattice direction will be generated by a superposition of uncorrelated and long-range correlated contributions. Our numerical results strongly suggest the presence of a Kosterlitz-Thouless-like transition above a critical correlation degree.

In order to describe the dynamical behavior of one-electron wave packets, we use a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation which effectively takes into account the electron-phonon interaction in the limit of an adiabatic coupling. For narrow wave packets and strong nonlinearities, the electron distribution becomes trapped irrespective to the lattice geometry. In the opposite regime of wide wave packets and small nonlinearities, a delocalized regime takes place. There is an intermediate regime for which self-trapping is attained in the honeycomb lattice while the wave packet remains delocalized in square lattices. Further, we show that the critical nonlinear strength χc scales linearly with the initial wave-packet participation function P(0) with the ratio χc/P(0) being on the order of the energy bandwidth.

Research paper thumbnail of Wavepacket dynamics of coupled particles in aperiodic chains: Weakening of Anderson localization and local field effects

Assuming an on-site Hubbard interaction, we show that the influence of interaction is not strong enough to change the characteristic aperiodicity that signals the emergence of extended states. However, we unveil that the inter-particles interaction promotes a weakening of Anderson localization that is more prominent at intermediate couplings. The wavepacket dynamics in the regime presenting extended eigenstates show an oscillatory motion of the centroid while the wavepacket widens. We explain in detail the origin of these oscillations and discuss the characteristics of the Bloch oscillations of the two-particles wavepacket by exploring the relevance of bounded states to the dynamics of pair formation.

Research paper thumbnail of Delocalized 2-magnons eigenstates in long-range correlated random Heisenberg chains

By using an exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in the two-spin flip subspace, we compute the spin wave participation number to characterize the localized or delocalized nature of the two-magnon states. For strongly correlated random exchange couplings, extended two-spin excitations with finite energy appear. Integrating the time-dependent Schroedinger equation, we follow the time-evolution of an initially localized two-spin state. We find that, associated with the emergence of extended spin waves, the wave-packet mean-square displacement develops a ballistic spread. Further, the single-spin wave-packet acquires an asymmetric profile due to the kinematic interaction between the excited spins.

Based on numerical solutions of the timedependent nonlinear Schroedinger equation for an initially localized two-electron singlet state, we show that the magnitude of the electron-phonon coupling χ necessary to promote the self-trapping of the electronic wave packet decreases as a function of the electron-electron interaction U. We show that such dependence is directly linked to the narrowing of the band of bounded two-electron states as U increases. We obtain the transition line in the χ × U parameter space separating the phases of self-trapped and delocalized electronic wave packets. The present results indicates that nonlinear contributions plays a relevant role in the electronic wave packet dynamics, particularly in the regime of strongly correlated electrons.
