Abstract
The charge of subgap state in Andreev quantum dot (AQD)
inserted into the superconducting loop is very sensitive to the
magnetic flux threading the loop. We studied the sensitivity as a
function of AQD parameters in details in Δ → ∞
limit. We also accounted for a weak Coulomb interaction in AQD. We
discuss a possibility of using this setup as a device detecting
week magnetic field.
