Abstract
We investigate the transmission properties in quantum wires with a superconducting island placed in the center of the channel. The conductance quantization is destroyed, unless the Fermi energies in the quantum wire and the superconductor are identical as a consequence of the single-particle reflection from the normal-conductor–superconductor interface. The conductance exhibits fluctuations due to the quantum interference effect in the island. The fluctuation amplitude is found to depend strongly on the pair potential amplitude in the superconductor.
