This review provides a theoretical basis for understanding the current-phase relation (CΦR)
for the stationary (dc) Josephson effect in various types of superconducting junctions. The …

This review presents recent developments in the understanding of how impurities influence
the electronic states in the bulk properties of superconductors. The focus is on …

Semiconductor InSb nanowires are expected to provide an excellent material platform for
the study of Majorana fermions in solid state systems. Here, we report on the realization of a …

The physics and operating principles of hybrid superconductor–semiconductor devices rest
ultimately on the magnetic properties of their elementary subgap excitations, usually called …

Mesoscopic physics refers to the physics of structures larger than a nanometer (one billionth
of a meter) but smaller than a micrometer (one millionth of a meter). This size range is the …

We studied the low-energy states of spin-1/2 quantum dots defined in InAs/InP nanowires
and coupled to aluminum superconducting leads. By varying the superconducting gap Δ …

Advances in nanofabrication techniques have made it possible to make devices in which
superconducting electrodes are connected to non-superconducting nanostructures such as …

We realize a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor transmon device in which the
Josephson effect is controlled by a gate-defined quantum dot in an In As-Al nanowire …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are not intrinsically superconducting but they can carry a
supercurrent when connected to superconducting electrodes,,,. This supercurrent is mainly …

A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) with single-walled carbon
nanotube (CNT) Josephson junctions is presented. Quantum confinement in each junction …
