Momentum creation by vortices in 3He experiments as a model of primordial baryogenesis

1996

We show that recent 3He experiments at Manchester demonstrate the creation of excitation momentum (momentogenesis) by quantized vortices, a process analogous to baryogenesis within cosmic strings. Since superfluid 3He is the most complex field theoretic system available in the laboratory, this experiment gives a firmer foundation to chiral anomaly calculations for baryogenesis on non-trivial backgrounds of the Higgs field such as cosmic strings.

Resonant tunneling through a macroscopic charge state in a superconducting SET transistor

1997

We predict theoretically and observe in experiment that the differential conductance of a superconducting SET transistor exhibits a peak which is a complete analogue in a macroscopic system of a standard resonant tunneling peak associated with tunneling through a single quantum state. In particular, in a symmetric transistor, the peak height is universal and equal to $e^2/2\pi \hbar$. Away from the resonance we clearly observe the co-tunneling current which in contrast to the normal-metal transistor varies linearly with the bias voltage.
