Their work is a steppingstone in the world of superconducting circuits that could lead to huge advances. You can read the original work published in Nature: doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-0…

⚛️In superconductors a current can flow without any resistance, something amazing but that also makes it difficult to control such current at will. In their last paper,researchers from Ali’s Lab discover a device that allows superconducting currents to flow just in one direction!

Discovery of one-way superconductivity without magnetic fields, thought to be impossible, paves way toward superconducting #computing which can make electronics hundreds of times faster.. all with zero energy loss #Physics @SolidStChemist @tudelft scitechdaily.com/breakthroug…

Happy to share with you the @Shinossaura's first first-author manuscript! arxiv.org/abs/2204.05078 Together with @NancySandler and @ProfLuisDias, we verified that in-gap vortex states close to an impurity look really similar to Majorana zero modes even though they are trivial.

👨‍🏫As part of @tudelft we're glad to introduce students to the #quantum world! On Monday, Profs. Blanter (@ymblanter) and Ali (@SolidStChemist) will start #teaching the Adv. Solid State Physics course, walking students from electron transport to topological matter. Happy learning!

He will then show how quantum materials are being used in applications ranging from dark matter detectors to Mid-IR lasers, from spintronics to superconducting circuits and much more. The era of using quantum materials for driving #quantum technologies is just beginning!

In a first part of his talk he will briefly discuss how, using the concepts of topology, symmetry, and an understanding of crystal and electronic structures, several quantum materials were discovered, what their important properties are, and how they were characterized.
