In the mixed state of type II superconductors penetrated by an external magnetic field in the form of a lattice of Abrikosov vortices the dc resistance is known to increase with increasing velocity of the vortex lattice. Accordingly, vortex…
The dynamics of Abrikosov vortices in superconductors is usually limited to vortex velocities $v\simeq1$ km/s above which samples abruptly transit into the normal state. In the Larkin-Ovchinnikov framework, near the critical temperature…
The response of superconducting devices to electromagnetic radiation is a core concept implemented in diverse applications, ranging from the currently used voltage standard to single photon detectors in astronomy. Suprisingly, a…
We demonstrated microwave-induced cooling in a superconducting flux qubit. The thermal population in the first-excited state of the qubit is driven to a higher-excited state by way of a sideband transition. Subsequent relaxation into the…
We address the problem of non-equilibrium superconductivity in the presence of microwave irradiation. We refine the old Eliashberg theory and generalize it to arbitrary temperatures $T$ and frequencies $\omega$. Microwave radiation is shown…
The dynamics of magnetic flux quanta (Abrikosov vortices) determine the resistive response of superconductors. In pinning-free planar thin films, the penetration and motion of vortices are controlled by edge defects, leading to such…
Complex systems close to their critical state can exhibit abrupt transitions, avalanches, between their metastable states. It is a challenging task to understand the mechanism of the avalanches and control their behavior. Here we…
Abrikosov vortices, where the superconducting gap is completely suppressed in the core, are dissipative, semi-classical entities that impact applications from high-current-density wires to superconducting quantum devices. In contrast, we…
A perpendicular magnetic field penetrating a thin type-II superconductor slab produces vortices, with one vortex per flux quantum, h/2e. The vortices interact repulsively and form an ordered array (Abrikosov lattice) in clean systems, while…
We study microwave-driven cooling in a superconducting flux qubit subjected to environment noises. For the weak decoherence, our analytical results agree well with the experimental observations near the degeneracy point and show that the…
In ultrafast experiments on superconductors, a pump laser pulse often heats up the electronic system and suppresses the density of superfluid electrons. Subsequently, the electrons undergo a cooling process because of electron-phonon…
We propose cyclic quantum refrigeration in solid-state, employing a gas of magnetic field vortices in a type-II superconductor -- also known as fluxons -- as the cooling agent. Refrigeration cycles are realized by envisioning a racetrack…
The magnetic response is a state-defining property of superconductors. The magnetic flux penetrates type-II bulk superconductors by forming quantum vortices when the enclosed magnetic flux is equal to the magnetic flux quantum. The flux…
We investigate the physics of the microwave response in YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$, SmBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ and MgB$_{2}$ in the vortex state. We first recall the theoretical basics of vortex-state microwave response in the…
Quantized magnetic vortices driven by electric current determine key electromagnetic properties of superconductors. While the dynamic behavior of slow vortices has been thoroughly investigated, the physics of ultrafast vortices under strong…
Here we give a results of experimental study of enhancement of superconductivity by microwave irradiation in superconducting films. An influence of the power, frequency of microwave irradiation, as well as temperature and width of…
Quantitative magneto-optical imaging of a type-II superconductor thin film cooled under zero, homogeneous, and inhomogeneous applied magnetic fields, indicates that the latter procedure leads to an enhancement of the screening capacity.…
Low-temperature dissipation due to vortex motion in strongly anisotropic type-II superconductors with a moderate disorder ($\Delta^2/E_F \ll \hbar/\tau \ll \Delta$) is shown to be determined by the Zener-type transitions between the…
The movement of magnetic flux quanta (Abrikosov vortices) in superconductors leads to dissipation and is influenced by various ordering effects arising from vortex-vortex, vortex-defect, and vortex-edge interactions. Under combined dc and…
Despite extensive work on high-temperature superconductors, the critical behavior of an incipient condensate has so far been studied exclusively under equilibrium conditions. Here, we excite Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d with a femtosecond laser pulse…
