Long-range Cooper pair splitter with high entanglement production rate
Cooper pairs in the superconductor are a natural source of spin entanglement. The existing proposals of the Cooper pair splitter can only realize a low efficiency of entanglement production, and its size is constrained by the superconducting coherence length. Here we show that a long-range Cooper pair splitter can be implemented in a normal metal-superconductor-normal metal (NSN) junction by dr...
متن کاملUnconventional surface impedance of a normal-metal film covering a spin-triplet superconductor due to odd-frequency cooper pairs.
We discuss the dynamic response of odd-frequency Cooper pairs to an electromagnetic field. By using the quasiclassical Green function method, we calculate the impedance (Z=R-iX) of a normal-metal thin film which covers a superconductor. In contrast with the standard relation (i.e., R≪X), the impedance in spin-triplet proximity structures shows anomalous behavior (i.e., R>X) in the low frequency...
متن کاملJosephson effect due to odd-frequency pairs in diffusive half metals.
Motivated by a recent experiment [Keizer et al., Nature (London) 439, 825 (2006)], we study the Josephson effect in superconductor/diffusive half metal/superconductor junctions using the recursive Green function method. The spin-flip scattering at the junction interfaces opens the Josephson channel of the odd-frequency spin-triplet Cooper pairs. As a consequence, the local density of states in ...
متن کاملConductance spectroscopy of spin-triplet superconductors.
We propose a novel experiment to identify the symmetry of superconductivity on the basis of theoretical results for differential conductance of a normal metal connected to a superconductor. The proximity effect from the superconductor modifies the conductance of the remote current depending remarkably on the pairing symmetry: spin singlet or spin triplet. The clear-cut difference in the conduct...
متن کاملMaximal positive cross-correlation of current noise from Andreev reflection
For more than a decade it has been accepted that the phenomena of quantum transport in mesoscopic systems are intimately connected with the fermionic nature of carriers, both electrons and holes. The simplest fingerprint of statistical interaction is the sub-Poissonian shot noise measured in the quantum point contact. I The electronic Hanbury BrownTwiss2 experiment performed in the quantum Hall...
