Andreev Modes from Phase Winding in a Full-Shell Nanowire-Based Transmon.
We investigate transmon qubits made from semiconductor nanowires with a fully surrounding superconducting shell. In the regime of reentrant superconductivity associated with the destructive Little-Parks effect, numerous coherent transitions are observed in the first reentrant lobe, where the shell carries $2\ensuremath{\pi}$ winding of superconducting phase,…
