Lindblad-based linear response of hybrid semiconductor-superconductor devices — •Tobias Kuhn, Raffael L. Klees, and Monica Benito — Augsburg University, Augsburg, Germany

The field of hybrid semiconductor-superconductor quantum dots is pushing towards the development of functional devices that harness the advantages of both worlds. Their complexity calls for a complete theoretical framework to understand responses to different probe fields and dissipation induced by the environment. We present a Lindblad-based linear response formalism, built upon the framework introduced in Ref. [1]. It captures not only the inherently multi-level nature of these devices but also their probe-readout flexibility and non-unitary effects of the finite-frequency response. We exemplify the framework using quantum dot based Kitaev chain setups which are promising candidates for topologically protected qubits [2,3].
