The fundamental excitations in superconductors—Bogoliubov quasiparticles—can be either
a resource or a liability in superconducting devices: they are what enables photon detection …

Hybrid nanowires with proximity-induced superconductivity in the topological regime host
Majorana zero modes at their ends. Networks of such structures can produce topologically …

Heat is detrimental for the operation of quantum systems, yet it fundamentally behaves
according to quantum mechanics, being phase coherent and universally quantum-limited …

Properties of superconducting devices depend sensitively on the parity (even or odd) of the
quasiparticles they contain. Encoding quantum information in the parity degree of freedom is …

We study single-electron charging events in an Al/InAs nanowire hybrid system with
deliberately introduced gapless regions. The occupancy of a Coulomb island is detected …

The performance of superconducting devices is often degraded by the uncontrolled
appearance and disappearance of quasiparticles, a process known as poisoning. We …

High sensitivity quantum interferometry requires more than just access to entangled states. It
is achieved through the deep understanding of quantum correlations in a system. Integrable …

Theories of spontaneous wavefunction collapse offer an explanation of the possible
breakdown of quantum mechanics for macroscopic systems. However, the challenge of …

The control of any type of quantum hardware invariably necessitates time-dependent
driving. If the basis depends on the control parameter, the presence of a time-dependent …

We measure the rates and coupling coefficients for local Andreev, nonlocal Andreev, and
elastic cotunneling processes. The nonlocal Andreev process, giving rise to Cooper pair …
