Event Information:

Hybrid superconductors-semiconductor heterostructures allow voltage control of carrier density in superconducting systems. We use these materials to investigate novel gate-controlled arrays of Josephson junctions in a variety of geometries, examining the interplay of quantum coherence, Coulomb interaction, and frustration. Using the example of the dice lattice, I will draw connections between protected quantum information and quantum phase transitions in two dimensions.
