The magnetic flux threading a conventional superconducting ring is typically quantized in units of $\Phi_0=hc/2e$. The factor 2 in the denominator of $\Phi_0$ originates from the existence of two different types of pairing states with…
We give two derivations of magnetic flux quantization in a superconducting ring in the shape of a M\"obius band, one using direct study of the Schr\"odinger equation and the other using the holonomy of flat U(1)-gauge bundles. Both methods…
In a ring of s-wave superconducting material the magnetic flux is quantized in units of $\Phi_0 = \frac{h}{2e}$. It is well known from the theory of Josephson junctions that if the ring is interrupted with a piece of d-wave material, then…
We propose a new stage of confiment-decofinment transition, which can be observed in laboratory. In two-gap superconductors (SCs), two kinds of vortex exist and each of them carries a continuously variable fraction of the unit flux quanta…
We establish a non-Abelian superconductivity and a non-Abelian Meissner effect by constructing an effective field theory of superconductivity in which a genuine SU(2) gauge symmetry governs the dynamics. We show that the magnetic flux is…
Conventional superconductors have vortices carrying integer multiples of magnetic flux quantum while unconventional ones, with p- or d-wave order parameter, allow half-integer fluxes. Here we show that mesoscopic size effects stabilize…
We discuss vortices allowed in two-gap superconductors, bilayer systems and in equivalent extended Faddeev model. We show that in these systems there exist vortices which carry an arbitrary fraction of magnetic flux quantum. Besides that we…
We study the non-Abelian topological vortices in condensed matter physics, whose topological flux quantum number is described by $\pi_2(S^2)$, not by $\pi_1(S^1)$. We present two examples, a magnetic vortex in two-gap superconductor and a…
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 have experimentally investigated the magnetisation of a mesoscopic aluminum loop at temperatures well below the superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$. The flux quantisation of the superconducting loop was investigated with a…
A deconstructed holographic model for an $s$-wave superconductor in $2+1$ dimensions has been proposed in the literature. Here, we consider solutions in the presence of perpendicular magnetic fields, where vortex formed. We calculate the…
Based on the U(1) gauge potential decomposition theory and the $\phi$-mapping method, we study the vortex lines in two-gap superconductor and obtain the condition, under which the vortices can carry an arbitrary fraction of magnetic flux.…
Currently a way is lacking to detect unambiguously the possible phase coherence of an exciton condensate in an electron-hole double layer. Here we show that despite the fact that excitons are charge-neutral, the double layer exciton…
As first pointed out by Bardeen and Ginzburg in the early sixties, the amount of magnetic flux carried by vortices depends on their distance to the sample edge and can be smaller than one flux quantum, f0 = h/2e. In bulk superconductors,…
Superfluid vortex dynamics on an infinite cylinder differs significantly from that on a plane. The requirement that a condensate wave function be single valued upon once encircling the cylinder means that such a single vortex cannot remain…
Geometrically confined superconductors often experience a breakdown in the quantization of magnetic flux owing to the incomplete screening of the supercurrent against the field penetration. In this study, we report that the confinement of a…
We show that the two-gap superconductor has two types of non-Abrikosov magnetic vortex, the D-type which has no concentration of the condensate at the core and the N-type which has a non-vanishing concentration of the condensate at the…
We study the quantization of the M-theory G-flux on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds with singularities giving rise to unitary and symplectic gauge groups. We seek and find its relation to the Freed-Witten quantization of…
Superfluidity and superconductivity are remarkable manifestations of quantum coherence at a macroscopic scale. The dynamics of superfluids has dominated the study of these systems for decades now, but a comprehensive theoretical framework…
Magnetic field is expelled from a superconductor, unless it forms quantum vortices, consisting of a core singularity with current circulating around it. The London quantization condition implies that there is one core singularity per…
