Cr$_{1/3}$NbS$_{2}$ is a transition metal dichalcogenide that is also a chiral helimagnet, and so lacks inversion symmetry and has non-zero Berry curvature in position and momentum space. It is well known that the combination of broken…

Superconducting diodes are proposed non-reciprocal circuit elements that should exhibit non-dissipative transport in one direction while being resistive in the opposite direction. Multiple examples of such devices have emerged in the past…

We measure the non-dissipative supercurrent in a single InAs self-assembled quantum dot (QD) coupled to superconducting leads. The QD occupation is both tuned by a back-gate electrode and lateral side-gate. The geometry of the side-gate…
