Aharonov-Casher Effect and the Coherent Flux Tunneling in the Hybrid Charge Quantum Interference Device
Abstract
By exploiting the Aharonov-Casher effect we demonstrate a suppression of magnetic flux tunneling in a Hybrid Charge Quantum Interference Device. The main part of this device is two Josephson junctions with a small superconducting island between them. To minimize phase fluctuations across Josephson junctions, this structure is embedded in a compact super-inductive NbN loop. The Interference between the flux tunneling paths is determined by the island-induced charge, which is controlled by an external voltage. The charge sensitive operation of the device is subjected to poisoning by the quasiparticles generated in the NbN film.
