Out-of-phase Andreev transports in a double-quantum-dot Cooper-pair splitter

Wei‐Jiang Gong, Xiaoqi Wang, Yu-Lian Zhu +2 more

We investigate the Andreev transports through a double-quantum-dot Cooper-pair splitter with an additional direct coupling between the dots. It is found that when finite magnetic flux is applied through this structure, its induced phase adjusts the local and crossed Andreev reflections in different manners. Moreover, in the presence of appropriate magnetic flux, the crossed Andreev reflection can be efficiently enhanced, accompanied by the suppression of the local Andreev reflection. Such a result exists in both the linear and nonlinear transport regions, even in the case of strong intradot Coulomb interaction. Therefore, such a work provides a promising scheme to enhance the splitting of the Cooper pair.

Yu-Shiba-Rusinov–Bond Qubit in a Double Quantum Dot with Circuit-QED Operation

Gorm O. Steffensen, A. Levy Yeyati

Connecting two half-filled quantum dots to two superconducting leads induces a competition of bonds, with the dots forming either an interdot exchange bond or two individual Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) screening bonds with the leads. Defining a qubit using these singlet-parity bonding states provides dot-charge-noise protection, attributed to the chargeless nature of the screening quasiparticles, and magnetic noise protection, as the bonds guard against magnetic polarization. In this paper, we propose embedding a double-quantum-dot (DQD) Josephson junction in parallel with a transmon to enable circuit-quantum-electrodynamics (cQED) measurements and operation of a YSR-bond qubit. We demonstrate that, under realistic parameters, two-tone spectroscopy of the DQD can be performed, revealing a significant parameter regime suitable for qubit operation. Additionally, coherent manipulations of the bond states can be achieved through dot gates and single-shot readout is enabled by measurements of a capacitively coupled resonator. Finally, we analyze noise sources and estimate gate noise on couplings as the primary source of qubit decoherence. Since this qubit is protected against nuclear Overhauser fields and does not rely on spin-orbit interactions for operation, a broader range of material platforms becomes available compared to current Andreev spin qubits.

Andreev Quantum Dots for Spin Manipulation

N. M. Chtchelkatchev, Yuli V. Nazarov

We investigate the feasibility of manipulating individual spin in a superconducting junction where Bogoliubov quasiparticles can be trapped in discrete Andreev levels. We call this system an Andreev quantum dot (AQD) to be contrasted with a common semiconductor quantum dot. We show that the AQD can be brought into a spin-1/2 state. The coupling between the spin and superconducting current facilitates manipulation and measurement of this state. We demonstrate that one can operate two inductively coupled AQDs as a XOR gate; this enables quantum computing applications.
