Nonequilibrium quasiparticles are ubiquitous in superconducting electronics. These can trap the internal Andreev bound states of a phase-biased Josephson junction, providing mechanism for studying their presence and behavior. We characterize quasiparticle trapping detector device based on two-junction aluminum nanobridge quantum interference incorporated into transmission-line resonator. When f...

We analyze the possibilities of triplet pairing in Sr 2 RuO 4 based upon an idea of interlayer coupling. We have considered two models differing by the effective interactions. In one model the quasi-particle spectra have horizontal line nodes on all three Fermi surface sheets, while in the other the spectra have line or point nodes on the α and β sheets and no nodes on the γ sheet. Both models ...

in this paper two nodes to model isotropic and anisotropic media in transmission line matrix method (tlm) are presented. by using these two nodes, the permeability and permittivity of an anisotropic media can be modeled simultaneously. another application of these nodes is in modeling media with permittivity and permeability less than one. in the conventional 2 dimensional tlm, the stubs repres...

The phase diagram of BaPb(1-x)Bi(x)O3 exhibits a superconducting dome in the proximity of a charge density wave phase. For the superconducting compositions, the material coexists as two structural polymorphs. Here we show, via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, that the structural dimorphism is accommodated in the form of partially disordered nanoscale stripes. Identification of ...

Hybrids consisting of macroscopic superconducting circuits and microscopic components, such as atoms and spins, have the potential of transmitting an arbitrary state between different quantum species, leading to the prospective of high-speed operation and long-time storage of quantum information. Here we propose a novel hybrid structure, where a neutral-atom qubit directly interfaces with a sup...

We propose an analogue quantum simulator of a 1+1 D spacetime containing non-causal curves,in particular, null geodesics going back in time, by means dc-SQUID array embedded on open superconducting transmission line. This is achieved mimicking the spatial dependence metric with propagation speed electromagnetic field simulator, which can be modulated external magnetic flux. show that it possibl...

How small can superconductors be? For isolated nanoparticles subject to quantum size effects, P.W. Anderson in 1959 conjectured that superconductivity could only exist when the electronic level spacing δ is smaller than the superconducting gap energy Δ. Here we report a scanning tunnelling spectroscopy study of superconducting lead (Pb) nanocrystals grown on the (110) surface of InAs. We find t...

In this paper a transformerless Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to increase the power capacity of a 230 kV transmission line is proposed. In order to eliminate the transformer, a 15-level cascade H Bridge (CHB) inverter is employed within the proposed compensator structure to inject reactive power to the transmission line. The theory of instantaneous p-q power using in the compensa...
