Superconducting Nanostructures for Quantum Detection of Electromagnetic Radiation

Superconducting Nanostructures for Quantum Detection of Electromagnetic Radiation

In this thesis, superconducting nanostructures for quantum detection of electromagnetic radiation are studied. In this regard, electrodynamics of topological excitations in 1D superconducting nanowires and 2D superconducting nanostrips is investigated. Topological excitations in superconducting n...
