Wires made of topological insulators (TI) are a promising platform for searching for Majorana bound states. These states can be probed by analyzing the fractional ac Josephson effect in Josephson junctions with the TI wire as a weak link.…
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…
I present a theoretical study of current-voltage characteristics ($I$-$V$ curves ) of small Josephson junctions. In the limit of a small Josephson coupling energy $E_J \ll k_B T$ the thermal fluctuations result in a stochastic dependence of…
The transport properties of a topological Josephson junction fabricated from a magnetically doped topological insulator (TI) were investigated. The conductance spectra of the Nb/Fe-Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se/Nb junction below 1 K showed an unusual…
It is known that the low-energy physics of the Josephson effect in the presence of Majorana zero modes exhibits a $4\pi$ periodicity as the Aharonov-Bohm flux varies in contrast to the $2\pi$ Josephson periodicity in usual superconducting…
We study theoretically the large variations of the supercurrent through a normal dot that are induced by a small quasiparticle injection current from normal leads connected to the dot. We find that the supercurrent decomposes into a subgap…
We predict anomalous atomic-scale 0-pi transitions in a Josephson junction with a ferromagnetic-insulator (FI) barrier. The ground state of such junction alternates between 0- and pi-states when thickness of FI is increasing by a single…
We theoretically investigate the properties of ultra-cold dipolar atoms in radially coupled, concentric annular traps created by a potential barrier. The non-rotating ground-state phases are investigated across the superfluid-supersolid…
In this letter we report on the electrical transport properties of Bi$_4$Te$_3$ in a Josephson junction geometry using superconducting Al electrodes with a Ti interdiffusion barrier. Bi$_4$Te$_3$ is proposed to be a dual topological…
We study a phase-tunable four-terminal Josephson junction formed in an InSbAs two-dimensional electron gas proximitized by aluminum. By embedding the two pairs of junction terminals in asymmetric DC SQUIDs we can control the superconducting…
The properties of Josephson junction including a ferromagnetic insulating layer are studied theoretically. The calculated current shows the anomalous dependence on the magnitude of the exchange interaction at the interface. The Josephson…
We study a multi-terminal Josephson junction consisting of a central spin-orbit-coupled (SOC) region with an in-plane Zeeman field connected to four superconducting terminals. This setup allows for the simultaneous measurement of both…
In typical Josephson junctions, the Josephson current is an odd function of the superconducting phase difference. Recently, diode effect in Josephson junctions is observed in experiments wherein the maximum and the minimum values of the…
We study fractional Josephson effect in a particle-number conserving system consisting of a quasi-one-dimensional superconductor coupled to a nanowire or an edge carrying $e/m$ fractional charge excitations with $m$ being an odd integer. We…
Electrons in a Dirac semimetals possess linear dispersion in all three spatial dimensions, and form part of a developing platform of novel quantum materials. Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$ supports a three-dimensional Dirac cone at the Sb-induced band…
We theoretically study the coupling of electric charge and spin polarization in an equilibrium and nonequilibrium electric transport across a two dimensional Josephson configuration comprised of disordered surface channels of a three…
We consider hybrid systems consisting of a hole-doped semiconductor coupled to electronic states of finite-size superconductors, where the opposite sign of the masses in the two subsystems give rise to insulating gaps at subband…
Superconducting proximity junctions based on topological insulators are widely believed to harbor Majorana-like bound states. The latter serves as a paradigm non-local topological quantum computation protocols. Nowadays, a search for…
Half a century after its discovery, the Josephson junction has become the most important nonlinear quantum electronic component at our disposal. It has helped reshape the SI system around quantum effects and is used in scores of quantum…
We report on two types of experiments with intrinsic Josephson systems made from layered superconductors which show clear evidence of nonequilibrium effects: 1. In 2-point measurements of IV-curves in the presence of high- frequency…
