Circularly polarized radiation to control the superconducting states: stability analysis.

Recently, the use of circularly polarized radiation for on-demand switching between distinct quantum states in a superconducting nanoring exposed to half-quantum magnetic flux has been proposed. However, the effectiveness of this method depends on the system's stability against local variations in the superconducting characteristics of the ring and flux fluctuations. In this study, we utilize numerical simulations based on the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation to evaluate the influence of these inevitable factors on the switching behavior. The results obtained demonstrate that the switching phenomena remain remarkably robust, providing confidence in their experimental observation.
