The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

Raising the temperature for topological superconductivity is crucial for easing the search for Majorana fermions. One proposed route is to engineer twisted junctions from high-temperature cuprates.

The experiment takes place in a vacuum chamber, where ultracold atomic clouds with a temperature of 30 nK are generated via laser cooling. Pictured: Professor Herwig Ott and Dr. Erik Bernhart. They ...

The research was published in the journal Science ("Observation of Shapiro steps in an ultracold atomic Josephson junction"). Two superconductors separated by a wafer-thin insulating layer – that's ...

Researchers from the USA and India have proposed that Floquet Majorana fermions may improve quantum computing by controlling superconducting currents, potentially reducing errors and increasing ...
