Description
I will show concluded and current experimental work done at the Center for Quantum Devices, Copenhagen [1,2] and at CEA, Grenoble [3,4]. The work is based on electrical measurements at (sub-Kelvin) dilution-refrigerator temperatures on devices based on individual semiconductor nanowires with epitaxially-grown superconductors. Single electron spins can be confined in the nanowires, and their influence on the superconductors can be studied through their effect on the Josephson supercurrent and the discrete excitations within the superconducting gap.
