摘要:

在 Josephson 结中,Cooper 对从一个超导体转移到另一个超导体,可与 Andreev 束缚态的形成相关联。在由半导体纳米线制成的 Josephson 结中,由于自旋-轨道耦合以及两个超导电极之间有限相位差的存在,这些 Andreev 态的自旋简并可以被打破。自旋简并的解除为实现无需施加大磁场的 Andreev 自旋量子比特开辟了道路。迄今为止,这些量子比特的运行依赖于一个 Raman 过程,该过程涉及两个微波音调以及第三个 Andreev 态 [M. Hays et al., Science 373, 430 (2021)]。尽管如此,纳米线中保持时间反演对称性的杂质仍允许自旋翻转散射过程。本文利用散射矩阵形式体系证明,这些过程通常会耦合具有相反自旋的 Andreev 态。特别地,它们之间非零的电流矩阵元使得直接操控相位驱动的 Andreev 自旋量子比特成为可能,从而规避了对上述 Raman 过程的使用。

英文摘要:

In a Josephson junction, the transfer of Cooper pairs from one superconductor to the other one can be associated with the formation of Andreev bound states. In a Josephson junction made with a semiconducting nanowire, the spin degeneracy of these Andreev states can be broken thanks to the presence of spin-orbit coupling and a finite phase difference between the two superconducting electrodes. The lifting of the spin degeneracy opened the way to the realization of Andreev spin qubits that do not require the application of a large magnetic field. So far the operation of these qubits relied on a Raman process involving two microwave tones and a third Andreev state [M. Hays et al., Science 373, 430 (2021)]. Still, time-reversal preserving impurities in the nanowire allow for spin-flip scattering processes. Here, using the formalism of scattering matrices, we show that these processes generically couple Andreev states with opposite spins. In particular, the non-vanishing current matrix element between them allows for the direct manipulation of phase-driven Andreev spin qubits, thereby circumventing the use of the above-mentioned Raman process.
