Quantum Mpemba effect in a quantum dot with reservoirs

AK Chatterjee, S Takada, H Hayakawa - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We demonstrate the quantum Mpemba effect in a quantum dot coupled to two reservoirs,
described by the Anderson model. We show that the system temperatures starting from two …

Thermal conductance of a single-electron transistor

B Dutta, JT Peltonen, DS Antonenko, M Meschke… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
We report on combined measurements of heat and charge transport through a single-
electron transistor. The device acts as a heat switch actuated by the voltage applied on the …

Quasiparticle poisoning of superconducting qubits from resonant absorption of pair-breaking photons

CH Liu, DC Harrison, S Patel, CD Wilen, O Rafferty… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The ideal superconductor provides a pristine environment for the delicate states of a
quantum computer: because there is an energy gap to excitations, there are no spurious …

Relaxation of nonequilibrium quasiparticles in mesoscopic size superconductors

KY Arutyunov, SA Chernyaev… - Journal of Physics …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Rapid development of micro-and nanofabrication methods have provoked interest and
enabled experimental studies of electronic properties of a vast class of (sub) micrometer …

Charge dynamics in quantum-circuit refrigeration: Thermalization and microwave gain

H Hsu, M Silveri, V Sevriuk, M Möttönen… - AVS Quantum …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Previous studies of photon-assisted tunneling through normal-metal–insulator–
superconductor junctions have exhibited potential for providing a convenient tool to control …

Transient transport spectroscopy of an interacting quantum dot proximized by a superconductor: Charge and heat currents after a switch

LC Ortmanns, J Splettstoesser, MR Wegewijs - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We analyze the time evolution of a quantum dot which is proximized by a large-gap
superconductor and weakly probed using the charge and heat currents into a wide-band …

Fractionally charged zero-energy single-particle excitations in a driven Fermi sea

M Moskalets - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
A voltage pulse of a Lorentzian shape carrying half of the flux quantum excites out of a zero-
temperature Fermi sea an electron in a mixed state, which looks like a quasiparticle with an …

Minimal excitation single-particle emitters: Comparison of charge-transport and energy-transport properties

N Dashti, M Misiorny, S Kheradsoud, P Samuelsson… - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We investigate different types of time-dependently driven single-particle sources whose
common feature is that they produce pulses of integer charge and minimally excite the Fermi …

Andreev-Coulomb drag in coupled quantum dots

SM Tabatabaei, D Sánchez, AL Yeyati, R Sánchez - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The Coulomb drag effect has been observed as a tiny current induced by both electron-hole
asymmetry and interactions in normal coupled quantum dot devices. In the present work we …
