The occupation of the quasiparticle continuum in a superconductor is of critical importance for the functionality of Josephson junction-based quantum devices. While significant progress has been made recently, the detection and trapping of quasiparticles remains a significant challenge. This talk will describe the design of a thermometer that detects the presence and effective temperature of superconducting quasiparticles. The device consists of a mK-STM functionalized with a single Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) state inside the gap. Transport between the tip and a clean superconducting substrate shows Zeeman-split peaks in the differential conductance associated to the YSR state [1]. The current is sensitive to quasiparticles above the gap. We show, based on a simple rate equation model, how the control of the magnetic field, as well as the voltage bias, allows the operation of the junction as a thermometer for the effective temperature of quasiparticles.
