摘要:

我们考虑了一个量子点的哈密顿模型,量子点被放置在两个超导导线之间,在这两个导线之间施加恒定的偏压。使用非平衡Keldysh技术,我们专注于亚隙电流,在那里它是已知的,多个Andreev反射(MAR)负责通过点的电荷转移。注意力放在直流电流和超电流的第一谐波上。改变量子点上共振能级的能量和宽度,我们首先研究了当与正常探针的耦合为零时,从量子点机制到量子点接触机制的交叉。然后,我们研究的超电流的正常探针,这是附加到点的效果。该正常探针被理解为导致移相,或者替代地诱导反向邻近效应。我们描述了从零失相到非相干情况下的全交叉。我们还计算了正常引线存在下的约瑟夫森电流,并发现它与零电压下外推的非均衡电流值非常吻合。

英文摘要:

We consider a Hamiltonian model for a quantum dot which is placed between two superconducting leads with a constant bias imposed between these leads. Using the non-equilibrium Keldysh technique, we focus on the subgap current, where it is known that multiple Andreev reflections (MAR) are responsible for charge transfer through the dot. Attention is put on the DC current and on the first harmonics of the supercurrent. Varying the energy and width of the resonant level on the dot, we first investigate a cross-over from a quantum dot regime to a quantum point contact regime when there is zero coupling to the normal probe. We then study the effect on the supercurrent of the normal probe which is attached to the dot. This normal probe is understood to lead to dephasing, or alternatively to induce reverse proximity effect. We describe the full crossover from zero dephasing to the incoherent case. We also compute the Josephson current in the presence of the normal lead, and find it in excellent agreement with the values of the non-equlibrium current extrapolated at zero voltage.
