Highlighting superconductivity in an insulator

Superconductivity 2019-10-15 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

Superconductor-insulator transition is a fascinating quantum phenomenon that reveals a competition between phase order and charge localization. Microwave spectroscopy provides a novel promising approach to its controllable investigation in 1D Josephson arrays.
