Type II superconducting materials are technologically interesting since they are characterized by the existence of a superconducting phase even after the penetration of the magnetic field inside them. In fact, while type ...

The quanti cation of quantumness is necessary to assess how much a physical system departs from a classical behaviour and thus gauge the quantum enhancement in opera- tional tasks such as information processing and ...

Quantum systems can necessarily be viewed as open systems. As in classical physics, any realistic description of a system must take into account the cou- pling to an environment that strongly in uences the system itself. ...

This work debates a theoretical investigation of the interfacial effects about heterostructures with normal metals and superconductors. At the beginning we will introduce the basic physical phenomena our calculations deal ...

In the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau (G-L) theory [1], conventional superconductors are classified in type I and type II, based on the value the G-L parameter... [edited by author]

In questa Tesi di Dottorato, io e il mio supervisor, il Prof. Roberto De Luca, abbiamo analizzato alcuni particolari dispositivi superconduttori, le giunzioni Josephson e gli SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference ...
