• Abstract: We realize a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor transmon device in which the Josephson effect is controlled by a gate-defined quantum dot in an InAs/Al nanowire. Microwave spectroscopy of the transmon's transition spectrum allows us to probe the ground state parity of the quantum dot as a function of gate voltages, external magnetic flux, and magnetic field applied parallel to the nanowire. The measured parity phase diagram is in agreement with that predicted by a single-impurity Anderson model with superconducting leads. Through continuous time monitoring of the circuit we furthermore resolve the quasiparticle dynamics of the quantum dot Josephson junction across the phase boundaries. Our results can facilitate the realization of semiconductor-based $0-\pi$ qubits and Andreev qubits.

  Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model has gained prominence due to its simplicity and practical applications. We present the implementation of a gate-tunable, five-unit-cell bosonic SSH chain on a one-dimensional lattice of superconducting resonators. In contrast to prior work, our approach offers precise and independent in-situ tuning of the coupling parameters.

  We solve the problem of an interacting quantum dot embedded in a Josephson junction between two superconductors with finite charging energy. The approach is based on the flat-band approximation of the Richardson model, which reduces the Hilbert space to the point where exact diagonalisation is possible.

  We use a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor transmon device to perform spectroscopy of a quantum dot Josephson junction tuned to be in a spin-1/2 ground state with an unpaired quasiparticle. A finite magnetic field shifts the two branches in energy, favoring one spin state and resulting in the anomalous Josephson effect.
