Title: Negative electrohydrostatic pressure between superconducting bodies
Authors: Thomas J. Maldonado, Dung N. Pham, Alessio Amaolo, Alejandro W. Rodriguez, Hakan E. Türeci,
Abstract summary: We predict a negative (attractive) pressure between planar superconducting bodies. The resulting surface energies are in better agreement than those predicted by the Hartree-Fock theory. The model circumvents the bulk limitations of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer and Ginzburg-Landau theories.

Abstract: By applying a hydrodynamic representation of non-relativistic scalar electrodynamics to the superconducting order parameter, we predict a negative (attractive) pressure between planar superconducting bodies. For conventional superconductors with London penetration depth $\lambda_\text{L} \approx 100 \text{ nm}$, the pressure reaches tens of $\text{N/mm}^2$ at angstrom separations. The resulting surface energies are in better agreement with experimental values than those predicted by the Hartree-Fock theory, and the emergent electric-field screening length is comparable to that of the Thomas-Fermi theory. The model circumvents the bulk limitations of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer and Ginzburg-Landau theories to the analysis of superconducting quantum devices.

Superfluid stiffness of twisted multilayer graphene superconductors [1.374933941124824]
We report the measurement of $rho_s$ in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (TTG) We find a linear temperature dependence of $rho_s$ at low temperatures and nonlinear Meissner effects in the current bias dependence. Our results provide strong evidence for nodal superconductivity in TTG and put strong constraints on the mechanisms of these graphene-based superconductors.

Superfluid Stiffness and Flat-Band Superconductivity in Magic-Angle Graphene Probed by cQED [0.32018750515900324]
Superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) is a topic of keen interest in moir'e systems research. We use DC-transport and microwave circuit quantum electrodynamics to measure directly the superfluid stiffness of MATBG. Our findings indicate that MATBG is an unconventional superconductor with an anisotropic gap and strongly suggest a connection between quantum geometry, superfluid stiffness, and unconventional superconductivity.

Fragmented superconductivity in the Hubbard model as solitons in Ginzburg-Landau theory [58.720142291102135]
Superconductivity and charge density waves are observed in close vicinity in strongly correlated materials. We investigate the nature of such an intertwined state of matter stabilized in the phase diagram of the elementary $t$-$tprime$-$U$ Hubbard model. We provide conclusive evidence that the macroscopic wave functions of the superconducting fragments are well-described by soliton solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau equation.

Dynamical Onset of Light-Induced Unconventional Superconductivity -- a Yukawa-Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev study [0.0]
We investigate the onset of superconductivity in the Yukawa-Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. We find that the dynamical relaxation of undercooled states universally leads to superconductivity. Despite the strong correlations, the emerging order parameter dynamics are well captured by a coarse grained Ginzburg-Landau theory.

Intrinsic mechanisms for drive-dependent Purcell decay in superconducting quantum circuits [68.8204255655161]
We find that in a wide range of settings, the cavity-qubit detuning controls whether a non-zero photonic population increases or decreases qubit decay Purcell. Our method combines insights from a Keldysh treatment of the system, and Lindblad theory.

Optically induced topological superconductivity via Floquet interaction engineering [0.0]
We propose a mechanism for light-induced unconventional superconductivity in a two-valley semiconductor with a massive Dirac type band structure. We consider a circularly-polarized light pump and show that by controlling the detuning of the pump frequency relative to the band gap, different types of chiral superconductivity would be induced.
