Designing quantum matter with superconducting nanowires

Superconducting nanowires are an experimental realization of a model
quantum system that features collective degrees of freedom and exhibits 
a host of non-equilibrium and non-local phenomena. The nature of
superconductivity in nanowires is uniquely sensitive to size and shape
quantization, coupling with the environment and proximity effects. In 
this talk, I will describe how we can utilize these features in order to 
tailor the superconducting properties of nanowires in desirable ways.
Specifically, we have developed novel methods for fabrication of
ultranarrow nanowires with precisely controlled normal resistance and
consistent superconducting properties.  In magnetic field, the
superconductivity in nanowires is affected by vortices, topological
excitations that look like small whirlpools of supercurrent. I will show
how the texture of the superconducting wavefunction can be precisely
controlled by the size, shape, magnetic field and tunable interfaces 
with different materials.
