We describe and characterize a microwave setup to probe the Andreev levels of a superconducting atomic contact. The contact is part of a superconducting loop inductively coupled to a superconducting coplanar resonator. By monitoring the resonator reflection coefficient close to its resonance frequency as a function of both flux through the loop and frequency of a second tone we perform spectroscopy of the transition between two Andreev levels of highly transmitting channels of the contact. The results indicate how to perform coherent manipulation of these states.

We have studied the microwave response of a single Cooper-pair transistor (CPT) coupled to a lumped-element microwave resonator. The resonance frequency of this circuit, $f_{r}$, was measured as a function of the charge $n_{g}$ induced on the CPT isl
and by the gate electrode, and the phase difference across the CPT, $phi_{B}$, which was controlled by the magnetic flux in the superconducting loop containing the CPT. The observed $f_{r}(n_{g},phi_{B})$ dependences reflect the variations of the CPT Josephson inductance with $n_{g}$ and $phi_{B}$ as well as the CPT excitation when the microwaves induce transitions between different quantum states of the CPT. The results are in excellent agreement with our simulations based on the numerical diagonalization of the circuit Hamiltonian. This agreement over the whole range of $n_{g}$ and $phi_{B}$ is unexpected, because the relevant energies vary widely, from 0.1K to 3K. The observed strong dependence $f_{r}(n_{g},phi_{B})$ near the resonance excitation of the CPT provides a tool for sensitive charge measurements.
We study superconducting stripline resonator (SSR) made of Niobium, which is integrated with a superconducting interference device (SQUID). The large nonlinear inductance of the SQUID gives rise to strong Kerr nonlinearity in the response of the SSR,
which in turn results in strong coupling between different modes of the SSR. We experimentally demonstrate that such intermode coupling gives rise to dephasing of microwave photons. The dephasing rate depends periodically on the external magnetic flux applied to the SQUID, where the largest rate is obtained at half integer values (in units of the flux quantum). To account for our result we compare our findings with theory and find good agreement. Supplementary info at arXiv:0901.3133 .
We experimentally and numerically study a NbN superconducting stripline resonator integrated with a microbridge. We find that the response of the system to monochromatic excitation exhibits intermittency, namely, noise-induced jumping between coexist
ing steady-state and limit-cycle responses. A theoretical model that assumes piecewise linear dynamics yields partial agreement with the experimental findings.
Supplementary information for the article Intermode Dephasing in a Superconducting Stripline Resonator (arXiv:0901.3110). The supplementary information is devoted to three main issues. In section I we describe the fabrication process; in section II w
e present the derivation of the Hamiltonian of the system and provide a more detailed discussion about the properties of the microbridges; in section III the hysteretic response of the resonator and the effect of heating are discussed.
In the ballistic regime, the transport across a normal metal (N)/superconductor (S) point-contact is dominated by a quantum process called Andreev reflection. Andreev reflection causes an enhancement of the conductance below the superconducting energ
y gap, and the ratio of the low-bias and the high-bias conductance cannot be greater than 2 when the superconductor is conventional in nature. In this regime, the features associated with Andreev reflection also provide energy and momentum-resolved spectroscopic information about the superconducting phase. Here we theoretically consider various types of N/S point contacts, away from the ballistic regime, and show that even when the superconductor under investigation is simple conventional in nature, depending on the shape, size and anatomy of the point contacts, a wide variety of spectral features may appear in the conductance spectra. Such features may misleadingly mimic theoretically expected signatures of exotic physical phenomena like Klein tunneling in topological superconductors, Andreev bound states in unconventional superconductors, multiband superconductivity and Majorana zero modes.
