Anomalous Josephson effect and rectification in junctions between Floquet topological superconductors

Abstract
Periodically driven Kitaev chains are known to exhibit novel Floquet Majorana fermions and anomalous Floquet end modes. The fact that `quasienergy in Floquet systems is periodic' poses a difficulty in defining the ground state in periodically driven systems. To overcome this problem, we start with the ground state of the undriven Kitaev chain and gradually switch on the periodic driving in chemical potential over a timescale . The extent to which the single particle eigenstates of the undriven system get distributed among the Floquet states upon driving can be characterized by inverse participation ratio. In a Josephson junction between two periodically driven Kitaev chains not differing in phase of the pair potentials but differing in phases of the driving potentials, a net average current flows from one superconductor to the other. We term such a current anomalous current. Further, we study current phase relation in junctions between two periodically driven superconductors and find that the system exhibits nonequilibrium Josephson diode effect. The Floquet Majorana end modes and anomalous Floquet end modes whenever present contribute significantly to the anomalous current and the diode effect. Further, the anomalous current and the nonequilibrium Josephson diode effect survive when the periodic driving is adiabatically switched on.
