Hriscu, A.M. (author), Nazarov, Y.V. (author) To illustrate the emergence of Coulomb blockade from coherent quantum phase-slip processes in thin superconducting wires, we propose and theoretically investigate two elementary setups, or devices. The setups are derived from the Cooper-pair box and Cooper-pair transistor, so we refer to them as the QPS box and QPS transistor, respectively. We...
