Quasiparticle relaxation in optically excited high-Q superconducting resonators.
The quasiparticle relaxation time in superconducting films has been measured as a function of temperature using the response of the complex conductivity to photon flux. For tantalum and aluminum, chosen for their difference in electron-phonon coupling strength, we find that at high temperatures the relaxation time increases with decreasing temperature, as expected for electron-phonon interactio...
متن کاملQuasiparticle relaxation of superconducting qubits in the presence of flux.
Quasiparticle tunneling across a Josephson junction sets a limit for the lifetime of a superconducting qubit state. We develop a general theory of the corresponding decay rate in a qubit controlled by a magnetic flux. The flux affects quasiparticles tunneling amplitudes, thus making the decay rate flux-dependent. The theory is applicable for an arbitrary quasiparticle distribution. It provides ...
متن کاملQuasiparticle-tuned superconducting mixer
We have successfully employed the recently observed quasiparticle admittance of a superconducting tunnel junction as the tuning element for a superconductorinsulator-superconductor mixer. This is the first demonstration of an electronic on-chip tuning element for a superconducting detector. We observe an increase in the dynamic resistance and an improvement in mixer gain and noise temperature a...
متن کاملQuasiparticle states in superconducting superlattices
Abstract. The energy bands and the global density of states are computed for superconductor / normalmetal superlattices in the clean limit. Dispersion relations are derived for the general case of insulating interfaces, including the mismatch of Fermi velocities and effective band masses. We focus on the influence of finite interface transparency and compare our results with those for transpare...
متن کاملQuasiparticle scattering interference in superconducting iron pnictides
Using both two orbital and five orbital models, we investigate the quasiparticle interference QPI patterns in the superconducting SC state of iron-based superconductors. We compare the results for nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities in sign-changed s-wave cos kx · cos ky and sign-unchanged cos kx · cos ky SC states. While the patterns strongly depend on the chosen band structure details, the se...
