The control of electrons at the level of the elementary charge e was demonstrated
experimentally already in the 1980s. Ever since, the production of an electrical current ef, or …

Numerical simulation has become a major tool in quantum electronics both for fundamental
and applied purposes. While for a long time those simulations focused on stationary …

The physics and operating principles of hybrid superconductor–semiconductor devices rest
ultimately on the magnetic properties of their elementary subgap excitations, usually called …

A classical battery converts chemical energy into a persistent voltage bias that can power
electronic circuits. Similarly, a phase battery is a quantum device that provides a persistent …

Pumps are transport mechanisms in which direct currents result from a cyclic evolution of the
potential,. As Thouless showed, the pum** process can have topological origins, when …

Quasiparticle excitations can compromise the performance of superconducting devices,
causing high-frequency dissipation, decoherence in Josephson qubits,,,,,, and braiding …

Multi-terminal superconducting Josephson junctions based on the proximity effect offer the
opportunity to tailor non-trivial quantum states in nanoscale weak links. These structures can …

Much efforts have been made for the realization of hybrid Josephson junctions incorporating
various materials for the fundamental studies of exotic physical phenomena as well as the …

We explore adiabatic pum** in the presence of a periodic drive, finding a new phase in
which the topologically quantized pumped quantity is energy rather than charge. The …

The controlled and accurate emission of coherent electronic wave packets is of prime
importance for future applications of nanoscale electronics. Here, we present a theoretical …
