Quantum effects of superconducting phase

The microscopic theory of superconductivity proposed by John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and John Robert Schrieffer has been a vital milestone of condensed matter physics and the basis of development of new quantum technologies. It explained the superconductivity as an emergent phenomenon arising from weak phonon-mediated attraction of individual...

Dispersive Gate Sensing of Hybrid Quantum Dot Systems

Spin and topological-qubit based quantum computers require an easily scalable and highly sensitive method for readout and manipulation, for which Dispersive Gate Sensing (DGS) is a promising candidate [1, 2]. DGS enables sensing of single electron tunneling events in a mesoscopic system by measuring a reflected Radio Frequency (RF) signal from a...

A spin-orbit playground: Surfaces and interfaces of transition metal oxides

Within the last twenty years, the status of the spinorbit interaction has evolved from that of a simple atomic contribution to a key effect that modifies the electronic band structure of materials. It is regarded as one of the basic ingredients for spintronics, locking together charge and spin degrees of freedom and recently it is...
