Abstract The electron transport in current-biased superconducting nano-bridges is determined by the motion of the quantum vortex confined in the internal disorder landscape. Here we consider theoretically a simple case of a single or two neighbouring linear defects crossing a nano-bridge. The strong anharmonicity of the vortex motion along the defect leads, upon radio frequency (RF) excitation, to fractional Shapiro steps. In the case of two defects, the vortex motion becomes correlated, characterised by metastable states that can be locked to the RF-drive. The lock-unlock process causes sudden voltage jumps and drops in the voltage-current characteristics that can be observed in experiments. We analyse the parameters that promote these metastable dynamic states and discuss their possible experimental realisations. |
