Bipolar Thermoelectric Superconducting Quantum Devices
F. Antola, G. Marchegiani, A. Braggio +1
Quantum technologies increasingly require accurate modeling of their hardware components and of the non-equilibrium regimes in which they operate, where managing heat and energy fl…
Quantum Bipolar Thermoelectricity
Filippo Antola, Giorgio De Simoni, Francesco Giazotto +1
Thermoelectricity is generally understood as a classical effect emerging from energy-dependent transport asymmetries. Here we uncover a purely quantum mechanism, where a supercondu…
Streamline controlled rectification of supercurrent in thin-film asymmetric weak links
Filippo Antola, Sebastiano Battisti, Alessandro Braggio +2
In this study, we examined the supercurrent diode effect (SDE) in mesoscopic superconducting weak links formed by asymmetric Dayem bridges. These planar metallic constrictions, whi…
Tunable Thermoelectric Superconducting Heat Pipe and Diode
F. Antola, A. Braggio, G. De Simoni +1
Efficient heat management at cryogenic temperatures is crucial for superconducting quantum technologies. This study demonstrates the controlled manipulation of the heat flow and he…
