Dynamics of nanostructured superconductors in curl-free vectorpotentials — •Björn Niedzielski and Jamal Berakdar — Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Insitut für Physik, Germany

In the theory of macroscopic quantum materials, like superconductors, the electromagnetic vectorpotential plays a crucial role. We show for nanoscopically structured superconductors how vectorpotentials with zero curl can be used to manipulate the state of such a system. It is demonstrated how a relation between flux quantization and the Aharonov-Bohm effect can be used to drive and control superconducting tunneling devices in a non-invasive way.
