摘要:

相关性是描述许多身体系统的基础-不仅在自然科学中。然而,在实验中,在微观尺度上评估相关性是非常困难的,特别是对于电子自旋。在这里,我们演示了一个直接测量的自旋交叉相关电流之间的库珀对分裂器,电子设备,发射电子起源于超导体中的库珀对。虽然理论上已经牢固地建立了这些电子对形成具有相反自旋投影的最大自旋纠缠单重态,但迄今为止还没有自旋相关实验证明。我们使用与超导电子结构兼容的铁磁侧门,单独自旋调制在两个电子路径中制造的两个量子点的传输,其充当可调谐自旋滤波器。在标准运输和高灵敏度电泳实验中检测到信号。我们发现自旋交叉关联是负的,与自旋单重态发射相容,并且偏离理想值主要是由于塞曼分裂量子点态的有限重叠。我们的结果为在纳米尺度电子器件中进行自旋自相关和互相关实验提供了一条新的途径,特别适用于那些依赖于磁场敏感超导元素的器件,如非常规超导体、三重态超导体或拓扑非平凡超导体,或用大质量粒子(如电子)进行Bell实验。

英文摘要:

Correlations are fundamental in describing many body systems - not only in natural sciences. However, in experiments, correlations are notoriously difficult to assess on the microscopic scale, especially for electron spins. Here, we demonstrate a direct measurement of the spin cross-correlations between the currents of a Cooper pair splitter, an electronic device that emits electrons originating from Cooper pairs in a superconductor. While it is firmly established theoretically that these electron pairs form maximally spin-entangled singlet states with opposite spin projections, no spin correlation experiments have been demonstrated so far. We use ferromagnetic sidegates, compatible with superconducting electronic structures, to individually spin polarize the transmissions of two quantum dots fabricated in the two electronic paths, which act as tunable spin filters. The signals are detected in standard transport and in highly sensitive transconductance experiments. We find that the spin-cross correlation is negative, compatible with spin singlet emission, and deviates from the ideal value mostly due to a finite overlap of the Zeeman split quantum dot states. Our results demonstrate a new route to perform spin auto- and cross correlation experiments in nanometer scaled electronic devices, especially suitable for those relying on magnetic field sensitive superconducting elements, like unconventional, triplet or topologically non-trivial superconductors, or to perform Bell tests with massive particles, like electrons.
