Abstract
We consider a quantum dot with mechanical degrees of freedom which is coupled to superconducting electrodes. A Josephson current is generated by applying a phase difference. In the absence of coupling to vibrations, this setup was previously proposed as a detector of magnetic flux and we wish here to address the effect of the phonon coupling to this detection scheme. We compute the charge on the quantum dot and determine its dependence on the phase difference in the presence of phonon coupling and Coulomb interaction. This allows to identify regions in parameter space with the highest charge to phase sensitivity, which are relevant for flux detection. Further insight about the interplay of such couplings and subsequent entanglement properties between electron and phonon degrees of freedom are gained by computing the von Neumann entropy.
