Publication in Nature Communications
Bogoliubov quasiparticles are elementary single-particle excitations in superconducting materials that carry spin. Luka Pavešič and Rok Žitko have developed a model for hybrid quantum devices composed of two superconducting islands coupled via a semiconducting quantum dot and predicted the existence … Read More
