Advances in nanofabrication techniques have made it possible to make devices in which
superconducting electrodes are connected to non-superconducting nanostructures such as …

Semiconductors are essential materials that affect our everyday life in the modern world.
Two-dimensional semiconductors with high mobility and moderate bandgap are particularly …

The heterojunction between different materials often exhibits a rectifying effect; eg, pn
junction is used for diode. On the other hand, the Josephson junction between two different …

Many proposals for exploring topological quantum computation are based on
superconducting quantum devices constructed on materials with strong spin–orbit coupling …

We investigate the consequences of resonant tunneling of Cooper pairs on the quantum
phase slips occurring in a Josephson junction. The amplitude for quantum tunneling under …

We propose a route to detect Majorana bound states (MBSs) by coupling a topological
superconductor to quantum dots (QDs) in apnp junction. Here two MBSs are coherently …

We study the critical Josephson current flowing through a double quantum dot weakly
coupled to two superconducting leads. We use analytical as well as numerical methods to …

We calculate the current-voltage (IV) characteristic of a Josephson junction containing a
resonant level in the weakly coupled regime (resonance width small compared to the …

We show that the recombination of Cooper pairs in semiconductors can be used as a natural
source of polarization-entangled photons, making use of the inherent angular momentum …

We suggest a way to characterize the coherence of the split Cooper pairs emitted by a
double-quantum-dot based Cooper pair splitter (CPS), by studying the radiative response of …
