Excess quasiparticles and their dynamics in the presence of subgap states
P. B. Fischer, G. Catelani
Material inhomogeneities in a superconductor generically lead to broadening of the density of states and to subgap states. The latter are associated with spatial fluctuations of th…

Nonequilibrium quasiparticle distribution in superconducting resonators: effect of pair-breaking photons
P. B. Fischer, G. Catelani
Many superconducting devices rely on the finite gap in the excitation spectrum of a superconductor: thanks to this gap, at temperatures much smaller than the critical one the numbe…
