(author), Shen, Jie (author)We study a Cooper pair transistor realized by two Josephson weak links that enclose a superconducting island in an InSb-Al hybrid nanowire. When the nanowire is subject to a magnetic field, isolated subgap levels arise in the superconducting island and, because of the Coulomb blockade, mediate a supercurrent by coherent cotunneling of Cooper...journal article 2022

(author), van Heck, B. (author)We measure the charge periodicity of Coulomb blockade conductance oscillations of a hybrid InSb-Al island as a function of gate voltage and parallel magnetic field. The periodicity changes from to at a gate-dependent value of the magnetic field, , decreasing from a high to a low limit upon increasing the gate voltage. In the gate voltage...journal article 2021

(author), Shen, J. (author)We study superconducting quantum interference in InSb flake Josephson junctions. An even-odd effect in the amplitude and periodicity of the superconducting quantum interference pattern is found. Interestingly, the occurrence of this pattern coincides with enhanced conduction at both edges of the flake, as is deduced from measuring a...journal article 2019

(author), Wang, Guanzhong (author), Xu, D. (author), Bouman, D. (author), Geresdi, A. (author), Bakkers, E.P.A.M. (author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author)The number of electrons in small metallic or semiconducting islands is quantised. When tunnelling is enabled via opaque barriers this number can change by an integer. In superconductors the addition is in units of two electron charges (2e), reflecting that the Cooper pair condensate must have an even parity. This ground state (GS) is...journal article 2018

(author), Kölling, S. (author), Verheijen, M.P.A.M. (author), Bakkers, E.P.A.M. (author), Kouwenhoven, Leo P. (author)Low dimensional semiconducting structures with strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and induced superconductivity attracted great interest in the search for topological superconductors. Both the strong SOI and hard superconducting gap are directly related to the topological protection of the predicted Majorana bound states. Here we explore the...journal article 2018
