Coulomb Blockade due to Quantum Phase-Slips Illustrated with Devices
is a long title of a long article we have submitted to arXive today. Alina Hriscu has been working the whole year on the topic, even today in the morining. I am happy we manage to submit it yet this year.
In this article, in order to illustrate the emergence of Coulomb blockade from coherent quantum phase-slip processes in thin superconducting wires, we propose and theoretically investigate two elementary setups, or “devices”. I will post the reference to cond-mat soon.
