Local current injection into mesoscopic superconductors for the manipulation of quantum states.
We perform strategic current injection in a small mesoscopic superconductor and control the (non)equilibrium quantum states in an applied homogeneous magnetic field. In doing so, we realize a current-driven splitting of multiquanta vortices, current-induced transitions between states with different angular momenta, and current-controlled switching between otherwise degenerate quantum states. Th...
متن کاملQuantum interference effect on the density of states in disordered d-wave superconductors
The quantum interference effect on the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) is studied with the diagrammatic technique in two-dimensional d-wave superconductors with dilute nonmagnetic impurities both near the Born and near the unitary limits. We derive in details the expressions of the Goldstone modes (cooperon and diffuson) for quasiparticle diffusion. The DOS for generic Fermi surfaces is s...

متن کاملMesoscopic superconductors under irradiation: Microwave spectroscopy of Andreev states
We show that irradiation of a voltage-biased superconducting quantum point contact at frequencies of the order of the gap energy can remove the suppression of subgap dc transport through Andreev levels. Quantum interference among resonant scattering events involving photon absorption is furthermore shown to make microwave spectroscopy of the Andreev levels feasible. We also discuss how the same...
متن کاملSurface superconducting states and paramagnetism in mesoscopic superconductors
In the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau equation, the temperature dependence of the upper critical field of small ring-like superconductors is studied. At equilibrium small parts of the phase diagram show paramagnetism for width / radius ratios below 0.85. Their number and extension increase with the size of the hole. In these regions, only the inner part of the ring shows a positive magnetic m...
