We present measurements of current noise and cross correlations in three-terminal superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor (S-N-S) nanostructures that are potential solid-state entanglers thanks to Andreev reflections at the N-S interfaces. The noise-correlation measurements spanned from the regime where electron-electron interactions are relevant to the regime of incoherent multiple Andreev reflection. In the latter regime, negative cross correlations are observed in samples with closely spaced junctions.

Logic circuits consist of devices that can be controlled between two distinct states. The recent demonstration that a superconducting current flowing in a constriction can be controlled via a gate voltage ()─gate-controlled supercurrent (GCS)─can lead to superconducting logic with better performance than existing logics. However, before such logic is developed, high reproducibility in the functioning of GCS devices and optimization of their performance must be achieved.

Bismuth oxide iodide (BiOI) has been viewed as a suitable environmentally-friendly alternative to lead-halide perovskites for low-cost (opto-)electronic applications such as photodetectors, phototransistors and sensors. To enable its incorporation in these devices in a convenient, scalable, and economical way, BiOI thin films were investigated as part of heterojunctions with various p-type organic semiconductors (OSCs) and tested in a field-effect transistor (FET) configuration. The hybrid heterojunctions, which combine the respective functionalities of BiOI and the OSCs were processed from solution under ambient atmosphere.

Electrons in two different normal metallic electrodes attached to a sufficiently thin superconducting island may become entangled due to the effect of Cooper pair splitting. This phenomenon is of fundamental importance and may also have serious implications for developing quantum communication technologies. One way to identify Cooper pair splitting is to analyze long-range cross correlations of fluctuating currents in three-terminal hybrid normal-superconducting-normal nanostructures.

The dynamical properties of multiterminal Josephson junctions (MT-JJs) have attracted interest, driven by the promise of new insights into synthetic topological phases of matter and Floquet states. This effort has culminated in the discovery of Cooper multiplets in which the splitting of a Cooper pair is enabled via a series of Andreev reflections that entangle four (or more) electrons. Here, we show that multiplet resonances can also emerge as a consequence of the three-terminal circuit model.

Three-terminal synaptic transistor has drawn significant research interests for neuromorphic computation due to its advantage of facile device integrability. Lately, bulk-heterojunction-based synaptic transistors with bipolar modulation are proposed to exempt the use of an additional floating gate. However, the actual correlation between the channel's ambipolarity, memory characteristic, and synaptic behavior for a floating-gate free transistor has not been investigated yet.
