In a Josephson junction, the transfer of Cooper pairs from one superconductor to the other one can be associated with the formation of Andreev bound states. In a Josephson junction made with a semiconducting nanowire, the spin degeneracy of…

Coupling individual atoms via tunneling fundamentally changes the state of matter: electrons bound to atomic cores become delocalized resulting in a change from an insulating to a metallic state, as it is well known from the canonical…

Andreev molecules consist of two coherently coupled Josephson junctions and permit non-local control over supercurrents. By making the barriers magnetic and thus creating a spin-valve, we predict that a non-local Josephson diode effect…

We develop a detailed microscopic theory describing dc Josephson effect and Andreev bound states in superconducting junctions with a half-metal. In such systems the supercurrent is caused by triplet pairing states emerging due to spin-flip…

Particle transport across Josephson junctions is commonly described using a simplifying approximation (often called the Andreev approximation), which assumes that excitations are fixed at the Fermi momentum and only Andreev reflections,…
