Fingerprints of unconventional pairing in superconductor-hole-gas heterostructures

Abstract

Superconductor and two-dimensional hole gas heterostructures are promising platforms for quantum devices, but their intrinsic properties, e.g., unconventional pairings, are hard to access experimentally. Here, we show that the in-plane-field dependence of the superfluid stiffness and spin susceptibility exhibits nonanalyticities encoding the induced gap structure in the hole gas. Additionally, Fourier harmonics of the stiffness tensor's field-angle dependence, accessible via kinetic-inductance measurements, provide fingerprints of unconventional pairing and cubic Rashba coupling.
