On-chip quantum sensing of Kondo spins in a high-mobility quasi-one-dimensional nanoconstriction
arXiv:2607.13397 · doi:10.1021/acs.nanolett.5c00560
Abstract
The precise nature of Kondo spins has remained enigmatic when extended to multiple spin impurities or, more intriguingly, when the localized spin itself may already be the consequence of many-body interactions in a presumably-delocalized open nanoconstriction, such as a quantum point contact (QPC). It is experimentally challenging to distinguish the Kondo state from other coexisting many-body spin states in such a strongly correlated system. Here we lithographically define an all-on-chip electronic resonator (ER) and a QPC in a high-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure transistor. Local Kondo screening of the QPC spin and nonlocal spin singlet across the ER-QPC integration are controllable in response to ER occupancy parity. We also show that the 0.7 anomaly, another strongly-correlated state in QPCs, not only has a different physical origin but furthermore counteracts the Kondo spin singlet. These results demonstrate a noninvasive quantum method for sensing spontaneous magnetic impurities within an open nanoconstriction.
