Quantum-dot–insulator–superconductor junctions coupled to a microwave resonator

ORAL

Abstract

Quantum dots are finding more and more important applications in the modern electronics. Recent works related to the electron tunneling between a quantum dot and superconducting lead [1,2] inspired us to theoretically study the system consisting of quantum-dot–insulator–superconductor (QIS) junctions coupled to the microwave resonator. For this purpose, we adapted the theory developed before for the so-called quantum-circuit refrigerator [3-6], which is based on normal-metal–insulator–superconductor junctions. We demonstrate that the current running through the QIS junctions can lead to a negative damping rate at the microwave resonator and discuss the possibility to use such a system as a narrow-band amplifier and a microwave laser.
