Research directions (2012).

1.    Decoherence in interacting many body systems. Application to superconductor-insulator transition in films and Josephson junction arrays.

2.    Quantum behavior of mesoscopic solid state devices with a few degrees of freedom, e.g. Josephson junction circuits with a few elements. Application to quantum computation and problems of decoherence.

3.   Microscopic theory of noises in superconducting circuits at very low temperatures. Theory of flux, charge and critical current noise. Application to quantum computing.

4.   I believe that a theory should have a predictive power. So, I try to get verifiable predictions and collaborate with a number of experimental groups: Misha Gershenson (Rutgers), Wiebke Guichard (Institut Neel, Grenoble), Oleg Astafiev and Yura Pashkin at NEC (Tsukuba), Marc Sanquer (CEA, Grenoble).
