One of the crucial aspects of current research in quantum information science is the identification and control of loss mechanisms in superconducting circuits. Although microwave measurements directly quantify device performance, additional…
Motivated by recent studies on superconducting (SC) diode nonreciprocity, we uncover a generic smooth SC-phase decoherence mechanism in low-dimensional Josephson structures. Contrary to the conventional single-energy-scale paradigm where…
The difficulty of determining cation concentrations and oxygen stoichiometry in infinite-layer nickelate thin films has so far prevented clear experimental identification of the nickel electron configuration in the superconducting phase. We…
The prediction of superconductivity above 200 K in CaH$_6$ revolutionized research on hydrogen-rich superconductors, and subsequent experiments have verified this prediction, while unidentified peaks in XRD and the decrease in…
Using numerically exact diagrammatic Monte Carlo simulations in the two-electron (single-bipolaron) sector, we explore the impact of long-range Coulomb repulsion on the dilute-limit Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless (BKT) transition…
We reveal a striking correspondence between electron- and phonon-driven pairing in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) by mapping an atomistic electronically driven pairing model onto an effective inter-valley, intra-Chern description,…
Semiconducting devices face persistent challenges in operating at high pressure, as the band theory predicts that materials transition to a more metallic state under compression. However, our findings with carbon chains in KFI substrates…
Charge-density-wave (CDW) order and superconductivity often compete in low-dimensional materials, yet their interplay in Janus MXenes remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a comprehensive first-principles investigation of the…
We study thin films that host coexisting collinear $d$-wave altermagnetic and superconducting orders in the presence of an external magnetic field that fully penetrates the films. We use the Ginzburg-Landau functional to analyze the…
The chiral material BeAu was recently identified as a multiband type-I superconductor with a critical temperature of 3.2 K. As a member of the B20 crystal family (space group $P2_13$), its band structure hosts multifold fermions at…
As an unconventional superconducting system capable of reaching 60 K under ambient pressure, the La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ thin film superconductor has recently become a focal point in the field of superconductivity, calling for further theoretical…
In this study, we examine how orbital degrees of freedom and Majorana surface states influence the magnetic penetration depth in the superconductor UTe$_2$. Using a two-orbital model, we analyze pairing states belonging to the irreducible…
We considered a planar Josephson junction which is composed of two s-wave superconducting contacts deposited on the top of a thin antiferromagnetic (AFM) disordered metal film. In such a system noticeable Josephson currents may be observed,…
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements have been extensively performed on the easily cleavable (011) surface of UTe$_2$, using both normal-metal and superconducting tips. Motivated by these experiments, we theoretically…
We present a workflow that iteratively combines \textit{ab-initio} calculations with a machine-learning (ML) guided search for superconducting compounds with both dynamical stability and instability from imaginary phonon modes, the latter…
YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) has favorable macroscopic superconducting properties of $T_\mathrm{c}$ up to 93 K and $H_{c2}$ up to 150 T. However, its nanoscale electronic structure remains mysterious because bulk-like electronic…

Employing amorphous superconductors, such as Type-II molybdenum silicide (MoSi), instead of crystalline materials significantly simplifies the material deposition and scalable nanoscale prototyping, beneficial for quantum electronic and…
We develop a first-principles framework for evaluating the fundamental length scales of superconductivity, namely the coherence length $\xi_0$ and the magnetic penetration depth $\lambda_\mathrm{L}$, within superconducting density…
Altermagnetism has emerged as a promising ingredient for realizing nontrivial Josephson phases, but so far explored in single Josephson junctions. In this work, we consider the coherent coupling of two Josephson junctions with spin-singlet…
