Anomalous negative magnetoresistance in quantum-dot Josephson junctions with Kondo correlations

The interplay between superconductivity and the Kondo effect has stimulated significant interest in condensed matter physics. They compete when their critical temperatures are close and can give rise to a quantum phase transition that can mimic Majorana zero modes. Here, we have fabricated and measured Al-InSb nanowire quantum dot-Al devices. In the Kondo regime, a supercurrent- induced zero-bias conductance peak emerges. This zero-bias peak shows an anomalous negative magnetoresistance (NMR) at weak magnetic fields. We attribute this anomalous NMR to quasi- particle trapping at vortices in the superconductor leads as a weak magnetic field is applied. The trapping effect lowers the quasiparticle-caused dissipation and thus enhances the Josephson current. This work connects the vortex physics and the supercurrent tunneling in Kondo regimes and can help further understand the physics of Josephson quantum dot system.

Field-Programmable Topological Array: Framework and Case-Studies

Engineering composite materials and devices with desired topological properties is accelerating the development of topological physics and its applications. Approaches of realizing novel topological hybrids, including in-situ epitaxy growth, planar/layered superlattices, and assembled (artificial) atom/dot arrays, etc., endow the topological systems with a substantial degree of control and tunability. Here, we propose a framework for realizing a field-programmable topological array (FPTA) that enables the implementation of dynamically reconfigurable topological platforms. FPTA allows for the independent, simultaneous, and local programmability of the various platform properties, such as the electromagnetic field, the spin-orbit field, and the superconducting order parameter. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the FPTA in rendering the system topologically-nontrivial and implementing non-Abelian manipulations, we simulate their operation in various case-studies. Our framework provides a playground for unearthing novel topological phases using components of high feasibility and sets the guidelines for run-time dynamic reconfiguration which is crucial for high-performance topological electronic circuits and quantum computing.

Tevatron-for-LHC Report: Higgs

The search for Higgs bosons in both the standard model and its extensions is well under way at the Tevatron. As the integrated luminosity collected increases into the multiple inverse femptobarn range, these searches are becoming very interesting indeed. Meanwhile, the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its associated experiments at CERN are nearing completion. In this TeV4LHC workshop, it was realized that any experience at the Tevatron with respect to backgrounds, experimental techniques and theoretical calculations that can be verified at the Tevatron which have relevance for future measurements at the LHC were important. Studies and contributions to these efforts were made in three broad categories: theoretical calculations of Higgs production and decay mechanisms; theoretical calculations and discussions pertaining to non-standard model Higgs bosons; and experimental reviews, analyses and developments at both the Tevatron and the upcoming LHC experiments. All of these contributions represent real progress towards the elucidation of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking.
