Realisation of de Gennes Absolute Superconducting Switch with a Heavy Metal Interface
Hisakazu Matsuki, Alberto Hijano, Grzegorz P. Mazur +13
In 1966, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes proposed a non-volatile mechanism for switching superconductivity on and off in a magnetic device. This involved a superconductor (S) sandwiched be…
Signatures of Majorana protection in a three-site Kitaev chain
Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu, Tom Dvir +14
Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are non-Abelian excitations predicted to emerge at the edges of topological superconductors. One proposal for realizing a topological superconductor in o…
Double-Fourier engineering of Josephson energy-phase relationships applied to diodes
A. Mert Bozkurt, Jasper Brookman, Valla Fatemi +1
We present a systematic method to design arbitrary energy-phase relations using parallel arms of two series Josephson tunnel junctions each. Our approach employs Fourier engineerin…
Electrostatic control of the proximity effect in the bulk of semiconductor-superconductor hybrids
N. van Loo, G. P. Mazur, T. Dvir +11
The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. The magnitude of this induced gap, together with the sem…
Gate-tunable kinetic inductance in proximitized nanowires
Lukas Johannes Splitthoff, Arno Bargerbos, Lukas Grünhaupt +6
We report the detection of a gate-tunable kinetic inductance in a hybrid InAs/Al nanowire. For this purpose, we have embedded the nanowire into a quarter-wave coplanar waveguide re…
Nonlocal measurement of quasiparticle charge and energy relaxation in proximitized semiconductor nanowires using quantum dots
Guanzhong Wang, Tom Dvir, Nick van Loo +6
The lowest-energy excitations of superconductors do not carry an electric charge, as their wave function is equally electron-like and hole-like. This fundamental property is not ea…
Enhancement of Proximity Induced Superconductivity in a Planar Ge Hole Gas
Kushagra Aggarwal, Andrea Hofmann, Daniel Jirovec +9
Hole gases in planar germanium can have high mobilities in combination with strong spin-orbit interaction and electrically tunable g-factors, and are therefore emerging as a promis…
From Andreev to Majorana bound states in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowires
Elsa Prada, Pablo San-Jose, Michiel W. A. de Moor +7
Electronic excitations above the ground state must overcome an energy gap in superconductors with spatially-homogeneous s-wave pairing. In contrast, inhomogeneous superconductors s…
A unified numerical approach to semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures
Georg W. Winkler, Andrey E. Antipov, Bernard van Heck +4
We develop a unified numerical approach for modeling semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. Our approach takes into account on equal footing important key ingredients: prox…
Ballistic supercurrent discretization and micrometer-long Josephson coupling in germanium
N. W. Hendrickx, M. L. V. Tagliaferri, M. Kouwenhoven +6
We fabricate Josephson field-effect-transistors in germanium quantum wells contacted by superconducting aluminum and demonstrate supercurrents carried by holes that extend over jun…
Attractive interaction between superconducting vortices in tilted magnetic fields
Alexandre Correa, Federico Mompean, Isabel Guillamon +8
Many practical applications of high T superconductors involve layered materials and magnetic fields applied on an arbitrary direction with respect to the layers. When the aniso…
Parity transitions in the superconducting ground state of hybrid InSb-Al Coulomb islands
Jie Shen, Sebastian Heedt, Francesco Borsoi +14
The number of electrons in small metallic or semiconducting islands is quantized. When tunnelling is enabled via opaque barriers this number can change by an integer. In supercondu…
Direct microwave measurement of Andreev-bound-state dynamics in a proximitized semiconducting nanowire
M. Hays, G. de Lange, K. Serniak +6
The modern understanding of the Josephson effect in mesosopic devices derives from the physics of Andreev bound states, fermionic modes that are localized in a superconducting weak…
Realizing Majorana zero modes in superconductor-semiconductor heterostructures
R. M. Lutchyn, E. P. A. M. Bakkers, L. P. Kouwenhoven +3
Realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes in the laboratory is one of the major goals in condensed matter physics. We review the current status of this rapidl…
Demonstration of an ac Josephson junction laser
M. C. Cassidy, A. Bruno, S. Rubbert +5
Superconducting electronic devices have re-emerged as contenders for both classical and quantum computing due to their fast operation speeds, low dissipation and long coherence tim…
A road to reality with topological superconductors
C. W. J. Beenakker, L. P. Kouwenhoven
Topological states of matter are a source of low-energy quasiparticles, bound to a defect or propagating along the surface. In a superconductor these are Majorana fermions, describ…
Reducing intrinsic loss in superconducting resonators by surface treatment and deep etching of silicon substrates
A. Bruno, G. de Lange, S. Asaad +3
We present microwave-frequency NbTiN resonators on silicon, systematically achieving internal quality factors above 1 M in the quantum regime. We use two techniques to reduce losse…
1 minute parity lifetime of a NbTiN Cooper-pair transistor
David J. van Woerkom, Attila Geresdi, Leo P. Kouwenhoven
The parity modulation of the ground state of a superconducting island is a direct consequence of the presence of the Cooper pair condensate preferring an even number of charge carr…
