Abstract
Quantum design of Cooper quartets in a double quantum dot system coupled to ordinary superconducting leads is presented as a novel platform for the study of an elusive many-body state of matter, that is at the basis of the phenomenon of charge-4e superconductivity. A fundamentally novel, maximally correlated ground state, in the form of a superposition of vacuum |0⟩ and four-electron state |4e⟩, emerges as a narrow resonance and it is promoted by an attractive interdot interaction. A novel phenomenology in the dissipationless transport regime is elucidated, that yields typical flux quantization in units of h/4e and manifests in non-local multi-terminal coherence and in two-Cooper pair transport properties mediated by the quartet ground state. The results open the way to the exploration of correlation effects and non-local coherence in hybrid superconducting devices, parity-protected quantum computing schemes and more generally, the work poses the basis for the design and simulation of novel correlated states of matter starting from ordinary ingredients available in a quantum solid state lab.
