Superconducting Topological Fluids in Josephson Junction Arrays
arXiv:cond-mat/0410208 · doi:10.1088/0305-4470/39/18/L01
Abstract
We argue that the frustrated Josephson junction arrays may support a topologically ordered superconducting ground state, characterized by a non-trivial ground state degeneracy on the torus. This superconducting quantum fluid provides an explicit example of a system in which superconductivity arises from a topological mechanism rather than from the usual Landau-Ginzburg mechanism.
