论文摘要
新颖的电子设备和量子材料是通过将电子量子状态的单一演变和施罗丁格方程与中断电子相干传播的非单生过程所描述的。这些设备和材料位于量子力学和古典物理学之间的迷人过渡方案中。 这些设备的设计使得非偏置统一状态进化是通过破裂的反转对称性来实现的，例如在材料界面处诱导的。这种连贯的状态进化被由耦合到环境的缺陷引起的个体非弹性散射事件中断。 例如，两末端的非单身量子设备在线性响应中具有非偏置电导。因此，它们是对Onsager的相互关系的豁免，并且挑战了热力学的第二定律。 在材料或元材料的材料单元中实现设备函数可在2D和3D材料，界面和异质结构中产生新的功能。
Novel categories of electronic devices and quantum materials are obtained by pipelining the unitary evolution of electron quantum states as described by Schroedinger's equation with non-unitary processes that interrupt the coherent propagation of electrons. These devices and materials reside in the fascinating transition regime between quantum mechanics and classical physics. The devices are designed such that a nonreciprocal unitary state evolution is achieved by means of a broken inversion symmetry, for example as induced at material interfaces. This coherent state evolution is interrupted by individual inelastic scattering events caused by defects coupled to an environment. Two-terminal non-unitary quantum devices, for example, feature nonreciprocal conductance in linear response. Thus, they are exemptions to Onsager's reciprocal relation, and they challenge the second law of thermodynamics. Implementing the device function into the unit cells of materials or meta-materials yields novel functionalities in 2D and 3D materials, at interfaces, and in heterostructures.
