Quantum rotor in nanostructured superconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite its apparent simplicity, the idealized model of a particle constrained to move on a circle has intriguing dynamic properties and immediate experimental relevance. While a rotor is rather easy to set up classically, the quantum regime is harder to realize and investigate. Here we demonstrate that the quantum dynamics of quasiparticles in certain classes of nanostructured superconductors can be mapped onto a quantum rotor. Furthermore, we provide a straightforward experimental procedure to convert this nanoscale superconducting rotor into a regular or inverted quantum pendulum with tunable gravitational field, inertia, and drive. We detail how these novel states can be detected via scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The proposed experiments will provide insights into quantum dynamics and quantum chaos.

This study was an attempt to provide a simple solution processed synthesis route for Lead Selenide (PbSe) nanostructure thin films using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method which is commercially available in inexpensive precursors. In the CBD method, the preparation parameters play a considerable role and determine the nature of the final product formed. Known as two main factors, the eff...

متن کاملNanoscale superconductors: quantum confinement and spatially dependent Hartree-Fock potential
It is well-known that in bulk, the solution of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations is the same whether or not the Hartree-Fock term is included. In this case the Hartree-Fock potential is position independent and, so, gives the same contribution to both the single-electron energies and the Fermi level (the chemical potential). Thus, the single-electron energy measured from the Fermi level (it co...
