Dynamical spin polarization of excess quasi-particles in superconductors
Julia S. Meyer, Manuel Houzet, Yuli V. Nazarov
We show that the annihilation dynamics of excess quasi-particles in superconductors may result in the spontaneous formation of large spin-polarized clusters. This presents a novel…
Conductance quantization in topological Josephson trijunctions
Julia S. Meyer, Manuel Houzet
The Josephson current flowing in a junction between two superconductors is a striking manifestation of macroscopic quantum coherence, with applications in metrology and quantum inf…
Spin-Singlet and Spin-Triplet Josephson Junctions for Cryogenic Memory
Norman O. Birge, Manuel Houzet
Due to the ever increasing power and cooling requirements of large-scale computing and data facilities, there is a worldwide search for low-power alternatives to CMOS. One approach…
Photon-assisted charge-parity jumps in a superconducting qubit
M. Houzet, K. Serniak, G. Catelani +2
We evaluate the rates of energy and phase relaxation of a superconducting qubit caused by stray photons with energy exceeding the threshold for breaking a Cooper pair. All channels…
Microwave spectroscopy of a weakly-pinned charge density wave in a superinductor
Manuel Houzet, Leonid I. Glazman
A chain of small Josephson junctions (aka superinductor) emerged recently as a high-inductance, low-loss element of superconducting quantum devices. We notice that the intrinsic pa…
