Impurity-induced dephasing of Andreev states

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

A study is presented concerning the influence of flicker noise in the junction transparency on coherent transport in Andreev states. The amount of dephasing is estimated for a microwave-activated quantum interferometer. Possibilities of experimentally investigating the coupling between a superconducting quantum point contact and its electromagnetic environment are discussed.
