Single Abrikosov vortices as quantized information bits
Superconducting digital devices can be advantageously used in future supercomputers because they can greatly reduce the dissipation power and increase the speed of operation. Non-volatile quantized states are ideal for the realization of classical Boolean logics. A quantized Abrikosov vortex represents the most compact magnetic object in superconductors, which can be utilized for creation of hi...
متن کاملQuantum oscillations of self-dual Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortices
In this paper we present some new results on the quantization of the self dual multi-vortex solutions of the Abelian Higgs model. We also take the opportunity to offer a detailed description of the concepts and techniques that allowed us to compute the one-loop quantum correction to the mass of self-dual Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortices with one quantum of magnetic flux in the Rapid Communicat...
متن کاملAn Effective String Theory of Abrikosov–Nielsen–Olesen Vortices
We obtain an effective string theory of the Abrikosov–Nielsen–Olesen vortices of the Abelian Higgs model. The theory has an anomaly free effective string action which, when the extrinsic curvature is set equal to zero, yields the Nambu–Goto action. This generalizes previous work in which a string representation was obtained in the London limit, where the magnitude of the Higgs field is fixed. V...
متن کاملCovariant Majorana Formulation of Electrodynamics
We construct an explicit covariant Majorana formulation of Maxwell electromagnetism which does not make use of vector 4-potential. This allows to write a “Dirac” equation for the photon containing all the known properties of it. In particular, the spin and (intrinsic) boost matrices are derived and the helicity properties of the photon are studied.
متن کاملTopological defects in the Abrikosov lattice of vortices in type-II superconductors.
The free energy costs for various defects within an Abrikosov lattice of vortices are calculated using the lowest Landau level approximation (LLL). Defect solutions with boundary conditions for lines to meet at a point (crossing defect) and for lines to twist around each other (braid defect) are sought for 2, 3, 6, and 12 lines. Many results have been unexpected, including the nonexistence of a...
