In this paper, we consider a quantum dot connected to four superconducting terminals biased at opposite voltages on the quartet line. The grounded superconductor contains a loop threaded by the magnetic flux $Φ$. We provide Keldysh microscopic calculations and physical pictures for the voltage-$V$ dependence of the quartet current. Superconductivity is expected to be stronger at $Φ/Φ_0=0$ than at $Φ/Φ_0=1/2$. However, inversion $I_{q,c}(V,0)<I_{q,c}(V,1/2)$ is obtained in the critical current $I_{q,c}(V,Φ/Φ_0)$ on the quartet line in the voltage-$V$ ranges which match avoided crossings in the Floquet spectrum at $(V,Φ/Φ_0=0)$ but not at $(V,1/2)$. A reduction in $I_{q,c}$ appears in the vicinity of those avoided crossings, where Landau-Zener tunneling produces dynamical quantum mechanical superpositions of the Andreev bound states. In addition, $π$-$0$ and $0$-$π$ cross-overs emerge in the current-phase relations as $V$ is further increased. The voltage-induced $π$-shift is interpreted as originating from the nonequilibrium Floquet populations produced by voltage biasing. The numerical calculations reveal that the inversion is robust against strong Landau-Zener tunneling and many levels in the quantum dot. Our theory provides a simple ``Floquet level and population'' mechanism for inversion tuned by the bias voltage $V$, which paves the way towards more realistic models for the recent Harvard group experiment where the inversion is observed.

Spin-charge conversion in multiterminal Aharonov-Casher ring coupled to precessing ferromagnets: A charge conserving Floquet-nonequilibrium Green function approach
我们导出了描述开放量子系统的Floquet非平衡格林函数(Floquet-NEGF)的非微扰解.通过采用减少区域计划,我们得到的表达式呈现保守的电荷电流为任何给定的最大数量的光子,区别于其他现有的Floquet-NEGF为基础的表达式,不太可行,无限数量的光子需要考虑到,以确保守恒。为了证明我们导出的形式主义和研究自旋-电荷转换的自旋轨道耦合(SOC),我们认为自旋驱动的设置作为互易的电驱动设置在S。Souma et.例如,B 70,195346(2004)和Phys.
