We demonstrate that the supercurrent can be strongly enhanced in cross-like superconducting hybrid nanostructures (X-junctions) exposed to a temperature gradient. At temperatures T exceeding the Thouless energy of our X-junction the…

Effective interactions inherently encompass many-body effects that appear unified. Analyzing these in reverse, that is, separating them into contributions from pairs, triples, or larger groups, is typically intricate and seldom pursued.…

The ability to store information is of fundamental importance to any computer, be it classical or quantum. To identify systems for quantum memories which rely, analogously to classical memories, on passive error protection…

A physical system connected to two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures is said to act as a heat rectifier when it is able to bias the heat current in a given direction, similarly to an electronic diode. We propose to quantify the…
