Single atom laser in normal-superconductor quantum dots

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2019-09-04 v1

Abstract

We study a single-level quantum dot strongly coupled to a superconducting lead and tunnel-coupled to a normal electrode which can exchange energy with a single-mode resonator. We show that a such system can sustain lasing characterized by a sub-Poissonian Fock-state distribution of the resonator. The lasing regime is clearly identifiable in the subgap transport regime: in the resonant case, the current is pinned to the maximum value achievable in this hybrid nanostructure.
