Full subtitle: an explanation for $h/2e$ Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. The primary abstract explicitly describes two spin branches and two outer-edge resonances per $h/e$ flux cycle in a charging model.

Physical Review Letters 63, 199–202. The abstract proposes understanding electronic fractional Hall states as integer Hall states of composite objects with an even number of attached flux quanta.

The author abstract describes a negatively charged scanning tip depleting the two-dimensional electron gas, producing conductance-response images and mode-dependent angular patterns. It distinguishes branches and inelastic scattering effects.

The original experiment uses spin-to-charge conversion and a nearby quantum point contact to detect individual-electron spin outcomes electrically.

The primary calculation obtains the near-resonant driven-atom fluorescence spectrum from two-time atomic dipole correlations, with radiation damping included through coupling to the quantized electromagnetic field. It provides the source for the Mollow triplet.

Published in Physical Review D 24, starting at page 1516, on 15 September 1981. The apparatus-environment interaction is used to identify robust recorded observables and their pointer basis.

Published in Physical Review Letters 67, starting at page 661, on 5 August 1991. It proposes using Bell correlations for quantum key distribution, linking a foundational correlation test to an operational cryptographic task.
