Wilczek Quantum Center (WQC) at Shanghai Institute for Advanced Studies (SIAS) of USTC was established in May, 2024. It conducts theoretical researches on all areas of physics related to quantum mechanics, including but not limited to quantum information, cold atom physics, theory of quantum matter, quantum optics, high energy physics, quantum-related biological problems, etc.

Abstract:Phase-sensitiveprobes are essential tools for identifying pairing symmetries in unconventionalsuperconductors. In this talk, I will present ourstudies on Josephson effect of unconventional superconductors. Particularly, Iwill introduce monopole superconductors, a class of topological superconductorswith topology-enforced pairing nodes and discuss designs of Josephson junctionsto distinguish monopole superconductors from other trivial or topologicalsuperconductors such as chiral superconductors. Additionally, I will alsodiscuss multigranular superconducting rings with frustrated Josephsoncouplings, where we demonstrate that rings composed of chiral superconductorscannot spontaneously trap a π-flux. Following our analysis, we propose thatβ-Bi2Pd hosts a pairing, akin to helical equal-spin pairing, based on recentreport of recent experimental observation of half-quantum flux in Little-Parksoscillation measurements.
