We calculate the orbital magnetic response to Aharonov Bohm flux of disordered metallic rings with attractive pairing interaction. We consider the reduced BCS model, and obtain the result as an expansion of its exact solution to first order in the interaction. We emphasize the connection between the large magnetic response and the finite occupation of high energy levels in the many-body ground state of the ring.

Odd frequency (odd-$omega$) electron pair correlations naturally appear at the interface between BCS superconductors and other materials. The detection of odd-$omega$ pairs, which are necessarily non-local in time, is still an open problem. The main
reason is that they do not contribute to static measurements described by time-local correlation functions. Therefore, dynamical measurements, which depend on non-local time correlations, are suitable for detecting these pairs. In this work, we study the signatures of odd-$omega$ pairs in the supercurrent noise through a weak link between two superconductors at different superconducting phases. We show that the finite frequency current noise can be decomposed into three different contributions coming from even frequency (even-$omega$), odd-$omega$ pair amplitudes, and electron-hole correlation functions. Odd-$omega$ pairing, which is inter-lead (between electrons at different sides of the junction), provides a positive contribution to the noise, becoming maximal at a superconducting phase difference of $pi$. In contrast, intra-lead even-$omega$ pair amplitude tends to reduce the noise, except for a region close to $pi$, controlled by the transmission of the junction.
The performance of many superconducting devices is degraded in presence of non-equilibrium quasiparticles in the superconducting part. One promising approach towards their evacuation is the use of normal-metal quasiparticle traps, where normal metal
is brought into good metallic contact with the superconductor. A voltage biased normal-metal--insulator--superconductor junction equipped with such a trap is used to investigate on the trapping performance and the part played by the superconducting proximity effect therein. This involves an appropriate one-dimensional model of the junction and the numerical solution of Usadel equations describing the non-equilibrium state of the superconductor. The functionality of the trap is determined by the density of states (DOS) at the tunnel barrier. Herein, the proximity effect leads to two antagonistic characteristics affecting the trapping performance: the beneficial reduction of the DOS at an energy $|E| = Delta_{text{BCS}}$ versus the contraction of the spectral energy gap causing quasiparticle poisoning. For both effects the trap position is decisive, which needs to be taken into account for optimizing the trapping performance. In addition, the conversion between dissipative normal and supercurrent inside the superconducting part with its impact on the quasiparticle density is studied.
The act of measurement bridges the quantum and classical worlds by projecting a superposition of possible states into a single, albeit probabilistic, outcome. The time-scale of this instantaneous process can be stretched using weak measurements so th
at it takes the form of a gradual random walk towards a final state. Remarkably, the interim measurement record is sufficient to continuously track and steer the quantum state using feedback. We monitor the dynamics of a resonantly driven quantum two-level system -- a superconducting quantum bit --using a near-noiseless parametric amplifier. The high-fidelity measurement output is used to actively stabilize the phase of Rabi oscillations, enabling them to persist indefinitely. This new functionality shows promise for fighting decoherence and defines a path for continuous quantum error correction.
We theoretically investigate heat transport in temperature-biased Josephson tunnel junctions in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. In full analogy with the Josephson critical current, the phase-dependent component of the heat flux through th
e junction displays coherent diffraction. Thermal transport is analyzed in three prototypical junction geometries highlighting their main differences. Notably, minimization of the Josephson coupling energy requires the quantum phase difference across the junction to undergo pi-slips in suitable intervals of magnetic flux. An experimental setup suited to detect thermal diffraction is proposed and analyzed.
A time periodic driving on a topologically trivial system induces edge modes and topological properties. In this work we consider triplet and singlet superconductors subject to periodic variations of the chemical potential, spin-orbit coupling and ma
gnetization, in both topologically trivial and nontrivial phases, and study their influence on the charge and spin currents that propagate along the edges of the two-dimensional system, for moderate to large driving frequencies. Currents associated with the edge modes are induced in the trivial phases and enhanced in the topological phases. In some cases there is a sign reversal of the currents as a consequence of the periodic driving. The edge states associated with the finite quasi-energy states at the edge of the Floquet zone are in general robust, while the stability of the zero quasi-energy states depends on the parameters. Also, the spin polarization of the Floquet spectrum quasi-energies is strong as for the unperturbed topological phases. It is found that in some cases the unperturbed edge states are immersed in a continuum of states due to the perturbation, particularly if the driving frequency is not large enough. However, their contribution to the edge currents and spin polarization is still significant.
