Emulating Majorana fermions and their braiding by Ising spin chains
Stefan Backens, Alexander Shnirman, Yuriy Makhlin +3
We analyse the control of Majorana zero-energy states by mapping the fermionic system onto a chain of Ising spins. Although the topological protection is lost for the Ising system,…
Broken selection rule in the quantum Rabi model
P. Forn-Díaz, G. Romero, C. J. P. M. Harmans +2
Understanding the interaction between light and matter is very relevant for fundamental studies of quantum electrodynamics and for the development of quantum technologies. The quan…
Superconductor-insulator transition in nanowires and nanowire arrays
Hans Mooij, Gerd Schön, Alexander Shnirman +4
Superconducting nanowires are the dual elements to Josephson junctions, with quantum phase-slip processes replacing the tunneling of Cooper pairs. When the quantum phase-slip ampli…
Aluminium-oxide wires for superconducting high kinetic inductance circuits
H. Rotzinger, S. T. Skacel, M. Pfirrmann +7
We investigate thin films of conducting aluminium-oxide, also known as granular aluminium, as a material for superconducting high quality, high kinetic inductance circuits. The fil…
Selective darkening of degenerate transitions for implementing quantum controlled-NOT gates
P. C. de Groot, S. Ashhab, A. Lupascu +4
We present a theoretical analysis of the selective darkening method for implementing quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates. This method, which we recently proposed and demonstrated,…
Tuned transition from quantum to classical for macroscopic quantum states
A. Fedorov, P. Macha, A. K. Feofanov +2
The boundary between the classical and quantum worlds has been intensely studied. It remains fascinating to explore how far the quantum concept can reach with use of specially fabr…
