FerBo: a noise resilient qubit hybridizing Andreev and fluxonium states
J. J. Caceres, D. Sanz Marco, J. Ortuzar +6
We propose a novel superconducting quantum circuit that should be robust against both relaxation and dephasing over a wide and experimentally accessible parameter range. The circui…
Ultrastrong Coupling and Coherent Dynamics in a Gate-Tunable Transmon Qubit
I. Casal Iglesias, F. J. Matute-Cañadas, G. O. Steffensen +10
Ultrastrong light-matter coupling (USC) gives access to exotic quantum phenomena and promises faster quantum gates, yet coherent time-domain control in this regime remains largely…
Anomalous metallic phase and reduced critical current in superconducting nanowires due to inverse proximity effect
G. M. Oliveira, G. O. Steffensen, I. Casal Iglesias +7
Superconductor-to-metal transitions (SMTs) are key probes of mesoscopic superconductivity, but their interpretation can be complicated by device geometry and measurement conditions…
Coherent subgap transport in spin-split Josephson junctions
David Caldevilla-Asenjo, Gorm Ole Steffensen, Sara Catalano +6
We report the first experimental observation of subgap transport in ferromagnetic insulator/superconductor/insulator/superconductor junctions realized in EuS/Al/AlOx/Al vertical st…
Fluxoid valve effect in full-shell nanowire Josephson junctions
Carlos Payá, F. J. Matute-Cañadas, A. Levy Yeyati +3
We introduce a new type of supercurrent valve based on full-shell nanowires. These hybrid wires consist of a semiconductor core fully wrapped in a thin superconductor shell and sub…
Effective conduction-band model for zincblende III-V semiconductors in the presence of strain: tuning the properties of bulk crystals and nanostructures
Samuel D. Escribano, Alfredo Levy Yeyati, Elsa Prada
Strain provides a powerful knob to tailor the electronic properties of semiconductors. Simple yet accurate approximations that capture strain effects in demanding simulations of me…
