Cooper pair splitting in a two-dimensional electron gas III: Flux-control

ORAL

Abstract

We study CPS in a three-terminal device implemented in an InSbAs two-dimensional electron gas. The device consists of two quantum dots coupled via a Josephson junction (JJ). The dots act as charge and energy filters and allow us to select between two non-local processes: CPS or elastic co-tunnelling (ECT). The junction is embedded in a superconducting loop, thus allowing us to control the phase difference across the JJ with an applied flux. Tuning the device in the CPS-only allowed regime, we demonstrate that the non-local current depends periodically on the flux through the loop. The periodicity is consistent with the flux-dependent modulation of the Andreev bound state (ABS) energy, extracted from tunnelling spectroscopy measurements. This work demonstrates that the CPS amplitude is directly linked to virtual processes mediated by ABSs. Moreover, such a device could be used a flux-controlled source of entangled electrons.
