Sommario/riassunto |
|
As a conceptual framework, the collection of chapters in this volume acquaints readers with a broad overview of the characteristics and experiences of women of color in higher education. The chapters draw from theoretical and empirical work and identify gaps in the research, compare and contrast the experiences of women of color, and explore possible linkages between their experiences. Topics include trends and issues, leadership styles/characteristics, tenure and promotion, mentoring/social networks, and challenges and possibilities that weave commonalities and differences among African-Ameri |

information – the electromagnetic modes of superconducting circuits, and the spins of electrons trapped in semiconductor quantum dots – and has the potential to inherit beneficial aspects of both. This new qubit consists of the spin of an individual superconducting quasiparticle trapped in a Josephson junction made from a semiconductor nanowire. Due to spin-orbit coupling in the nanowire, the supercurrent flowing through the nanowire depends on the quasiparticle spin state. This thesis shows how to harness this spin-dependent supercurrent to achieve both spin detection and coherent spin manipulation. This thesis also represents a significant advancement to our understanding and control of Andreev levels and thus of superconductivity. Andreev levels, microscopic fermionic modes that exist in all Josephson junctions, are the microscopic origin of the famous Josephson effect, and are also the parent states of Majorana modes in the nanowire junctions investigated in this thesis. The results in this thesis are therefore crucial for the development of Majorana-based topological information processing. |
