Phase-coherent heat circulators with normal or superconducting contacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate heat circulators where a phase coherent region is contacted by three leads that are either normal- or superconducting. A magnetic field, and potentially the superconducting phases, allow to control preferential direction of flow between three-different temperature-biased contacts. The main goal this study analyze requirements for circulation in non-ideal devices, particular focusing on sample-to-sample variations. Quite generally, we find performance devices good as long only few transport channels involved. compare with normalconducting contacts those coefficient essentially unchanged.

Sensing with Superconducting Point Contacts
Superconducting point contacts have been used for measuring magnetic polarizations, identifying magnetic impurities, electronic structures, and even the vibrational modes of small molecules. Due to intrinsically small energy scale in the subgap structures of the supercurrent determined by the size of the superconducting energy gap, superconductors provide ultrahigh sensitivities for high resolu...
متن کاملSuperconducting phase coherent electron transport in proximity conical ferromagnets.
We report superconducting phase-periodic conductance oscillations in ferromagnetic wires with interfaces to conventional superconductors. The ferromagnetic wires were made of Ho, a conical ferromagnet. The distance between the interfaces was much larger than the singlet superconducting penetration depth. We explain the observed oscillations as due to the long-range penetration of an unusual hel...
متن کاملSpecific Heat in Superfluid and Normal Phase
The calculation of the 4He energy and specific heat is carried out in a wide temperature range within the two-time temperature Green functions approach. The approximation improving the random phase approximation is developed providing the correct behaviour of the calculated specific heat at the temperatures 0 < T/Tc < 0.65 and T/Tc > 1.32 where Tc stands for the phase transition point.
متن کاملGraphene microbolometers with superconducting contacts for terahertz photon detection
We report on noise and thermal conductance measurements taken in order to determine an upper bound on the performance of graphene as a terahertz photon detector. The main mechanism for sensitive terahertz detection in graphene is bolometric heating of the electron system. To study the properties of a device using this mechanism to detect terahertz photons, we perform Johnson noise thermometry m...
متن کاملCoherent controlization using superconducting qubits.
Coherent controlization, i.e., coherent conditioning of arbitrary single- or multi-qubit operations on the state of one or more control qubits, is an important ingredient for the flexible implementation of many algorithms in quantum computation. This is of particular significance when certain subroutines are changing over time or when they are frequently modified, such as in decision-making alg...
