EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Theory of two-qubit $T_{2}$ spectroscopy of quantum many-body systems

Hossein Hosseinabadi, Pavel E. Dolgirev, Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Amir Yacoby, Eugene Demler, and Jamir Marino

Phys. Rev. B 114, 214416 (2026) - Published 16 October, 2026

Qubit sensing is rapidly emerging as a powerful way to probe quantum systems. Here, the authors demonstrate how measuring correlations between two qubits, both coupled to the same quantum many-body system, can uncover crucial information about the system itself. These correlations reveal how excitations and fluctuations propagate through space and time, distinguish ballistic from diffusive transport, and provide a sensitive probe of how far the system is driven from equilibrium.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Dissipative quantum mechanics of Andreev bound states

Mikhail S. Kalenkov and Andrei D. Zaikin

Phys. Rev. B 114, 214502 (2026) - Published 1 October, 2026

Microscopic description of ac Josephson effect in superconducting junctions beyond the tunneling limit should account for subtle nonequilibrium effects. Here, the authors demonstrate that this problem can be fully resolved by analyzing dissipative quantum dynamics of Andreev bound states inside the junction. Within this analysis, the authors identify Landau-Zener tunneling between subgap Andreev levels and quantum escape of quasiparticles from such levels into continuum of states above the gap as the dominant processes for the problem under consideration.

Microwave response of superconductors with paramagnetic impurities

Mehdi Zarea and J. A. Sauls

Phys. Rev. B 114, 214505 (2026) - Published 8 October, 2026

Dilute concentrations of paramagnetic impurities embedded in superconductors break Cooper pairs, create low-energy subgap quasiparticles that can impact the performance of superconducting microwave resonators and devices. The authors develop here the microscopic theory for the microwave response of superconductors with low-energy subgap quasiparticles and predict the low temperature Joule dissipation, anomalies in the London penetration depth, and frequency shifts of high- $Q$ resonators. The authors show that microwave excitation of low-energy subgap quasiparticles gives rise to residual resistance of high- $Q$ superconducting RF cavities.
