Quantum Interference in Josephson Junctions
The parallelism between diffraction and interference in optics and quantum interference in Josephson junctions is discussed and studied in details. The interdisciplinary character of the present work is highlighted through specific examples. The Fraunhofer-like pattern of the maximum Josephson current in a single Josephson junction and the periodic field dependence of the critical current in tw...
متن کاملNon-Equilibrium Josephson and Andreev Current through Interacting Quantum Dots
We present a theory of transport through interacting quantum dots coupled to normal and superconducting leads in the limit of weak tunnel coupling. A Josephson current between two superconducting leads, carried by first-order tunnel processes, can be established by non-equilibrium proximity effect. Both Andreev and Josephson current is suppressed for bias voltages below a threshold set by the C...
متن کاملDiffusive conductors as Andreev interferometers.
We present a novel mechanism of phase-dependent electric transport in diffusive normal metal-superconductor structures. We provide a detailed theoretical and numerical analysis of recent unexplained experiments essentially
متن کاملLarge thermoelectric effect in ballistic Andreev interferometers
Employing quasiclassical theory of superconductivity combined with Keldysh technique we investigate large thermoelectric effect in multiterminal ballistic normal-superconducting (NS) hybrid structures. We argue that this effect is caused by electron-hole asymmetry generated by coherent Andreev reflection of quasiparticles at interfaces of two different superconductors with non-zero phase differ...
متن کاملCoherent nonlocal correlations in Andreev interferometers
Andreev interferometers, hybrid normal–superconducting loops, are well suited for studying phase-coherent effects, as they combine the robust quantum phase of a superconductor with a finite resistance normal section where phase-dependent transport properties can be easily measured. While they have previously been used to demonstrate local, phase-coherent properties, they may also be integrated ...
