Supercurrents in chiral channels originate from upstream information transfer: a theoretical prediction

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2017-05-03 v1

Abstract

It has been thought that the long chiral edge channels cannot support any supercurrent between the superconducting electrodes. We show theoretically that the supercurrent can be mediated by a non-local interaction that facilitates a long-distance information transfer in the direction opposite to electron flow. We compute the supercurrent for several interaction models, including that of an external circuit.
