Prof. Tadeusz Domański » Dynamical effects in quantum dots contacted to superconductors

Institute of Physics, M. Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin, Poland

Location: Lecture room F2, Ke Karlovu 5

Small physical objects, such a quantum dots, attached to bulk superconductors are prone to absorb the electron pairs. Their signatures are manifested by in-gap bound states, which appear in pairs symmetrically around the Fermi level. Under appropriate conditions, these in-gap states can evolve into the Majorana type quasiparticles which are promising candidates for stable quantum bits and implementation of quantum computations.

I shall discuss the time-resolved development of both, the conventional and topological bound states in superconducting hybrid stuructures. In particular, for two quantum dots contacted through the topological superconducting nanowire, we predicted nonlocal cross-correlations evidenced solely under nonequilibrium conditions by the crossed Andreev reflections [1]. We also analyzed competition of the Coulomb interactions with the proximity induced electron pairing (by means of time-dependent NRG calculations), revealing unique features in ac conductance of the periodically driven setup [2]. Furtheremore, we determined molecular quasiparticle spectrum of the short-length topological superconducting nanostructure [3] and inspected the quantum entanglement transmitted through the Majorana modes [4].
