We develop a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory of the vortex spin Hall effect, i.e., a spin Hall effect that is driven by the motion of superconducting vortices. For the direct vortex spin Hall effect in which an input charge current…
We theoretically explore Josephson diode effect (JDE) in superconductor/quantum dot (QD)/superconductor junction in the presence of a magnetic field and Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI). We calculate the Josephson current in our QD…

Intrigued by the discovery of the long lifetime in the {\alpha}-Ta/Al2O3-based Transmon qubit, researchers recently found {\alpha}-Ta film is a promising platform for fabricating multi-qubits with long coherence time. To meet the…
Tantalum and aluminum on sapphire are widely used platforms for qubits of long coherent time. As quantum chips scale up, the number of Josephson junctions on Sapphire increases. Thus, both the uniformity and stability of the junctions are…

Pair-breaking edges of $d$-wave superconductors feature Andreev bound states at the Fermi energy. Since these states are energetically highly unfavorable they are susceptible to effects that shift them to finite energy. We investigate the…
We investigate the impacts of the quantum geometry of Bloch states, specifically through the band-resolved quantum-metric tensor, on Cooper pairing and flat-band superconductivity in a three-dimensional pyrochlore-Hubbard model. First we…
Majorana fermions are spin-1/2 neutral particles that are their own antiparticles and were initially predicted by Ettore Majorana in particle physics but their observation still remains elusive. The concept of Majorana fermions has been…
We study the effective low-energy fermionic theory of the Kondo-Kitaev model to leading order in the Kondo coupling. Our main goal is to understand the nature of the superconducting instability induced in the proximate metal due to its…
The deposition and intercalation of metal atoms can induce superconductivity in monolayer and bilayer graphenes. For example, it has been experimentally proved that Li-deposited graphene is a superconductor with critical temperature $T_{c}$…

Superconducting logic is fast and energy-efficient relative to CMOS, but also fundamental studies are needed to scale up circuits for greater utility. Recently, ballistic shift registers for single-flux quanta (SFQ) bits were shown in…
Coherent optical driving in quantum solids is emerging as a new research frontier, with many demonstrations of exotic non-equilibrium quantum phases. These are based on engineered band structures, and on stimulated nonlinear interactions…
