Emission of non-classical radiation by inelastic Cooper pair tunneling
M. Westig, B. Kubala, O. Parlavecchio +11
We show that a properly dc-biased Josephson junction in series with two microwave resonators of different frequencies emits photon pairs in the resonators. By measuring auto- and i…
Theory of microwave spectroscopy of Andreev bound states with a Josephson junction
L. Bretheau, Ç. Girit, M. Houzet +3
We present a microscopic theory for the current through a tunnel Josephson junction coupled to a non-linear environment, which consists of an Andreev two-level system coupled to a…
Rabi oscillations, Ramsey fringes and spin echoes in an electrical circuit
D. Vion, A. Aassime, A. Cottet +5
We present a superconducting tunnel junction circuit which behaves as a controllable atom, and whose ground and first excited state form an effective spin 1/2. By applying microwav…
Electron transport through a metal-molecule-metal junction
C. Kergueris, J. -P. Bourgoin, S. Palacin +4
Molecules of bisthiolterthiophene have been adsorbed on the two facing gold electrodes of a mechanically controllable break junction in order to form metal-molecule(s)-metal juncti…
Evidence for saturation of channel transmission from conductance fluctuations in atomic-size point contacts
B. Ludoph, M. H. Devoret, D. Esteve +2
The conductance of atomic size contacts has a small, random, voltage dependent component analogous to conductance fluctuations observed in diffusive wires (UCF). A new effect is ob…
