Van der Waals Heterostructure Magnetic Josephson Junction
H. Idzuchi, F. Pientka, K. -F. Huang +9
When two superconductors are connected across a ferromagnet, the spin configuration of the transferred Cooper pairs can be modulated due to magnetic exchange interaction. The resul…
Topological superconductivity in proximity to type-II superconductors
Alexander Nikolaenko, Falko Pientka
One-dimensional systems proximity-coupled to a superconductor can be driven into a topological superconducting phase by an external magnetic field. Here, we investigate the effect…
Quantum Paracrystalline Shear Modes of the Electron Liquid
Jun Yong Khoo, Po-Yao Chang, Falko Pientka +1
Unlike classical fluids, a quantum Fermi liquid can support a long-lived and propagating shear sound wave at arbitrarily small wave vectors and frequencies, reminiscent of the tran…
Tuning Topological Superconductivity in Phase-Controlled Josephson Junctions with Rashba and Dresselhaus Spin-Orbit Coupling
Benedikt Scharf, Falko Pientka, Hechen Ren +2
Recently, topological superconductors based on Josephson junctions in two-dimensional electron gases with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling have been proposed as attractive alterna…
Simulating spin systems with Majorana networks
Alex Thomson, Falko Pientka
With the discovery of Majorana quasiparticles in semiconductor-superconductor hybrid structures, topologically protected qubits have emerged as a promising contender for quantum in…
Transport of neutral optical excitations using electric fields
Ovidiu Cotlet, Falko Pientka, Richard Schmidt +3
Mobile quantum impurities interacting with a fermionic bath form quasiparticles known as Fermi polarons. We demonstrate that a force applied to the bath particles can generate a dr…
