Quantized conductance through a spin-selective atomic point contact

Abstract

We implement a microscopic spin filter for cold fermionic atoms in a quantum point contact (QPC) and create fully spin-polarized currents while retaining conductance quantization. Key to our scheme is a near-resonant optical tweezer inducing a large effective Zeeman shift inside the QPC while its local character limits dissipation. We observe a renormalization of this shift due to interactions of a few atoms in the QPC. Our work represents the analog of an actual spintronic device and paves the way to studying the interplay between spin-splitting and interactions far from equilibrium.
