We investigate superconductor–insulator quantum phase transitions in ultrathin capacitively coupled superconducting nanowires with proliferating quantum phase slips. We derive a set of coupled Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless-like renormalization group equations demonstrating that interaction between quantum phase slips in one of the wires gets modified due to the effect of plasma modes propagating in another wire. As a result, ...

The quantum behavior of superconducting nanowires may essentially depend on the employed experimental setup. Here we investigate a setup that enables passing equilibrium supercurrent across an arbitrary segment of the wire without restricting fluctuations of its superconducting phase. The low temperature physics of the system is determined by a combined effect of collective soundlike plasma ...

We extend the basic theory of Andreev reflection (AR) in a normal metal/superconductor junction to the situation with an arbitrary time-dependent bias voltage V(t) across the junction. The central element of the theory is the fact that the Fourier transform of the AR amplitude has a casual structure. As an example, the theory is used to describe ...

We present a detailed theoretical description of quantum coherent electron transport in voltage-biased
crosslike Andreev interferometers.Making use of the charge conjugation symmetry encoded in the quasiclassical
formalism, we elucidate a crucial role played by geometric and electron-hole asymmetries in these structures.
We argue that a nonvanishing Aharonov-Bohm-like contribution to the current IS flowing in the superconducting
contour may develop ...

Utilization of of superconducting materials for new-generation nanoelectronic devices seems
extremely tempting because of the absence of energy dissipation during the electric current flow. However, in
small systems, the role of fluctuations can be highly important. In this study, the transport properties of thin
superconducting titanium nanoribbons have been experimentally and theoretically investigated. It has been
shown that quantum ...

We have employed noise thermometry for investigations of thermal relaxation
between the electrons and the substrate in nanowires patterned from 40-nm-thick
titanium film on top of silicon wafers covered by a native oxide. By controlling the
electronic temperature Te by Joule heating at the base temperature of a dilution refrigerator,
we probe the electron–phonon coupling and the thermal boundary ...

Quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channels host sound-like plasma modes propagating along the
which are associated with fluctuations of the phase of the superconducting order parameter (Mooiji and

The current–voltage characteristics of superconductor–insulator–semiconductor (S1–I–S2)
tunnel junctions, where superconducting electrode S2 is a thin nanowire, are studied experimentally. The
observed blurring of the gap singularities is interpreted as a manifestation of the order parameter quantum
fluctuations. We propose a model taking into account the broadening of the density of states due to the interaction

We consider an interferometer based on artificially induced topological superconductivity and chiral one-dimensional (1D) Majorana fermions. The (nontopological) superconducting island inducing the superconducting correlations in the topological substrate is assumed to be floating. This allows probing the physics of interfering Majorana modes via microwave response, i.e., the frequency-dependent impedance between the island and the earth. ...

We analyze a trade-o between thermal activation (TA) and quantum tunneling in the problem of supercurrent decay in superconducting junctions with highly transparent barriers. In such systems -- unlike in conventional tunnel junctions -- the supercurrent decay is essentially influenced by low energy Andreev levels forming an intrinsic quantum dissipative environment for the Josephson particle. ...

Superconducting properties of metallic nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors because of the dominating role played by thermal and quantum fluctuations of the order parameter. For superconducting channels with diameters below ∼ 50 nm fluctuations of the phase of the complex order parameter - the phase slippage - lead to non-zero ...

The transport properties of two types of quasi-one-dimensional superconducting microstructures were investigated at ultra-low temperatures: the narrow channels close-packed in the shape of meander, and the chains of tunneling contacts "superconductor-insulator-superconductor." Both types of the microstructures demonstrated high value of high-frequency impedance and-or the dynamic resistance. The study opens up potential for using of such ...

We work out a microscopic theory describing complete statistics of voltage fluctuations generated by quantum phase slips (QPS) in superconducting nanowires. We evaluate the cumulant generating function and demonstrate that shot noise of the voltage as well as the thir d and all higher voltage cumulants differ from zero only due to the presence of ...

Mesoscopic superconductivity deals with various quasiparticle excitation modes, only one of them—the charge-mode—being directly accessible for conductance measurements due to the imbalance in populations of quasi-electron and quasihole excitation branches. Other modes carrying heat or even spin, valley etc. currents populate the branches equally and are charge-neutral, which makes them much harder to control. This ...

We demonstrate that the magnetic state of a superconducting spin valve, that is normally controlled with an external magnetic field, can also be manipulated by varying the temperature which increases the functionality and flexibility of such structures as switching elements. In this case, switching is driven by changes in the magnetostatic energy due to spontaneous ...

We consider a long diffusive Josephson junction where the weak link is a thin (normal metal (N)–ferromagnet (F)) bilayer (N and F form parallel links between superconductors (Ss)). We show that superconductivity in the weak link can be described by an effective one-dimensional Usadel equation containing a “diluted” exchange field as well as a weak ...

Continuing miniaturization of electronic devices, together with the quickly growing number of nanotechnological applications, demands a profound understanding of the underlying physics. Most of the fundamental problems of modern condensed matter physics involve various aspects of quantum transport and fluctuation phenomena at the nanoscale. In nanostructures, electrons are usually confined to a limited volume and ...

We consider ballistic SQUIDs with spin filtering inside half-metallic ferromagnetic arms. A singlet Cooper pair cannot pass through an arm in this case, so the Josephson current is entirely due to the Cooper pair splitting, with two electrons going to different interferometer arms. In order to elucidate the mechanisms of Josephson transport due to split ...

The study of frequency-dependent intrinsic dissipation in a highly transparent Josephson junction by means of quantum-bit (qubit) spectroscopy is proposed. The spectral density of the effective dissipative bath may contain significant contributions from Andreev bound states coupled to fluctuations of the Josephson phase.
