Abstract
Hybrid semiconductor/superconductor devices constitute an important platform for a wide range of applications, from quantum computing to topological-state-based architectures. Here, we demonstrate full modulation of the interference pattern in a superconducting interference device with two parallel islands of ballistic InAs quantum wells separated by a trench, by acting independently on two side-gates. This so far unexplored geometry enables us to tune the device with high precision from a SQUID-like to a Fraunhofer-like behavior simply by electrostatic gating, without the need for an additional in-plane magnetic field. These measurements are successfully analyzed within a theoretical model of an extended tunnel Josephson junction, taking into account the focusing factor of the setup. The impact of these results on the design of novel devices is discussed.
