Multiply connected electronic networks threaded by flux tubes have been proposed as a platform for adiabatic quantum transport and topological states. Multiterminal Josephson junction (MTJJ) has been suggested as a pathway to realize this concept. Yet, the manifestations of topology in MTJJ remain open for experimental study. Here, we investigated the artificial topological band structure of three-terminal graphene Josephson junctions. Using tunneling spectroscopy and magnetic flux gates, we performed a direct mapping of the Andreev bound state (ABS) energy spectrum as a function of two independent phase differences. This ABS spectrum exhibits the transition between gapped states associated with different topological invariants. Our results show the potential of graphene-based MTJJs for engineering band topologies in higher dimensions.
由磁通管贯穿的多连通电子网络已被提议作为绝热量子输运和拓扑态的一个平台。多端约瑟夫森结(MTJJ)被认为是实现这一概念的一条途径。然而,MTJJ中拓扑的表现形式仍有待实验研究。在此,我们研究了三端石墨烯约瑟夫森结的人工拓扑能带结构。利用隧穿光谱和磁通量门,我们对作为两个独立相位差函数的安德烈夫束缚态(ABS)能谱进行了直接测绘。该ABS能谱展示了与不同拓扑不变量相关的带隙态之间的转变。我们的结果表明基于石墨烯的MTJJ在高维能带拓扑工程方面的潜力。
