It is generally believed that in a superconducor Cooper pairs are broken at above-critical current region, corresponding to the lost of superconductivity. We suggest that, under some circumstance, Cooper pairs could still exist above…

Transportation of Cooper-pairs by a movable single Cooper-pair-box placed between two remote superconductors is shown to establish coherent coupling between them. This coupling is due to entanglement of the movable box with the leads and is…
In this study, the possible pairing mechanism based on attraction between electrons from adjacent CuO2 layers is proposed. Initially, each CuO2 layer was found to expand the Fermi sphere owing to ridged geometry. When the two layers are…
In a closely packed ensemble of quantum emitters, cooperative effects are typically suppressed due to the dephasing induced by the dipole-dipole interactions. Here, we show that by adding sufficiently strong collective dephasing cooperative…
