The major task of detecting axions or axion-like particles has two challenges. On the one
hand, the ultimate sensitivity is required, down to the energy of a single microwave photon of …

We experimentally investigate the stochastic phase dynamics of planar Josephson junctions
(JJs) and superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) defined in epitaxial …

An aluminium Josephson junction (JJ), with a critical current suppressed by a factor of three
compared with the maximal value calculated from the gap, is experimentally investigated for …

Coherent passage of Cooper pairs in a Josephson junction (JJ) above the liquid nitrogen
temperature has been the first impressive revolutionary effect induced by high critical …

In superconductor-topological insulator-superconductor hybrid junctions, the barrier edge
states are expected to be protected against backscattering, to generate unconventional …

We consider the diffusive properties of Brownian motion in a biased periodic potential. We
relate the effective diffusion coefficient to the solution of two coupled time-independent …

We present an experimental realization of a biased optical periodic potential in the low
friction limit. The noise-induced bistability between locked (torsional) and running (spinning) …

The interfacial coupling of two materials with different ordered phases, such as a
superconductor (S) and a ferromagnet (F), is driving new fundamental physics and …

The generalized continuous multiple step (GCMS) potential is presented in this work. Its
flexible form allows for repulsive and/or attractive contributions to be encoded through …

Dissipation encodes the interaction of a quantum system with the environment and regulates
the activation regimes of a Brownian particle. We have engineered grain boundary …
