Conventional superconductors are strong diamagnets that through the Meissner effect expel magnetic fields. It would therefore be surprising if a superconducting ground state would support spontaneous magnetics fields. Such time-reversal…

The motion of a vortex-(anti)vortex pair is studied numerically in the framework of a dynamical Ginzburg-Landau model, relevant to the description of a superconductor or of an idealized bosonic plasma. It is shown that up to a fine…
A weakly biased normal-metal-superconductor junction is considered as a potential device injecting entangled pairs of quasi-particles into a normal-metal lead. The two-particle states arise from Cooper pairs decaying into the normal lead…

Vortex breaking has been traditionally studied for nonuniform critical current densities, although it may also appear due to nonuniform pinning force distributions. In this article we study the case of a…
