Description

In [1-5] has been investigated a relativistic relation between the Josephson energy and the transport current has been verified. This was further generalized in [6], by including the influence of external charges associated with Wannier-type semiconductor qubits coupled to a Josephson junction. The resulting modification of the Andreev bound states reflects the coupling between the superconducting condensate and the quantum dynamics of the Wannier qubits [7]. Within this framework, we investigate further generalization, i.e. an external magnetic field is swicthed in. A generalized form of the Cooper-pair quasiparticle appears, too. The analysis indicates the emergence of a superposition of effective masses in the generalized superconducting quasiparticle, whose properties can be electrically tuned via the charge states of the nearby Wannier qubits with computational methodology specified in [5-6].
