A micron-size magnetic particle attached to the tip of a silicon cantilever is used to locally apply magnetic flux through the superconducting structure. By scanning the tip over the surface of the device and by utilizing the dynamical coupling between the vortices and the cantilever, a high-resolution spatial map of the different vortex configurations is obtained. Moving the tip to a particular location in the map stabilizes a distinct multivortex configuration. Thus, the scanning of the tip over a particular trajectory in space permits nontrivial operations to be performed, such as braiding of individual vortices within a larger vortex ensemble—a key capability required by many proposals for topological quantum computing.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"mla":"Polshyn, Hryhoriy, et al. “Manipulating Multivortex States in Superconducting Structures.” <i>Nano Letters</i>, vol. 19, no. 8, American Chemical Society, 2019, pp. 5476–82, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.nanolett.9b01983\">10.1021/acs.nanolett.9b01983</a>.","short":"H.
