Abstract
We introduce a model for a flux-assisted Cooper-pair pump, the sluice, which is used to study geometric charge transport. Our model allows for a nonvanishing loop inductance going beyond the usual treatment with an exact phase bias. We derive the device Hamiltonian and current operators for different elements of the system and calculate the pumped charge carried by the ground state in the adiabatic limit. We show that extending the model beyond the exact phase bias has a weak but potentially non-negligible effect on the charge transport. This effect is observed to depend on the external flux bias. The adiabatic energy level and eigenstate structures are studied and the unusual features are explained. Finally, we discuss the requirements of adiabaticity.
