The Inverse Faraday Effect as a Mechanism for Optical Control of Quantum States in Superconducting Rings
摘要
The Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE) is a magneto-optical phenomenon in which circularly polarized light causes magnetization in a variety of materials, including non-magnetic metals and superconductors. Using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (TDGL), the chapter describes the response of superconducting rings to circularly polarized electromagnetic waves, demonstrating the influence of IFE on the generation of current states. The comprehensive analysis highlights the potential applications of IFE in optomagnetic technologies incorporating superconducting elements.
