报告摘要：
Magnetic flux lines in superconductors are topologically-protected quantum objects which can be deformed when moving at very high velocities. These extreme conditions can be transitorily realized when superconductors undergo a thermomagnetic instability for which the sample topology come also into play. In this work, we explore the complex pattern of magnetic field penetration and identify its impact on the resonance frequency of NbTiN and Nb superconducting resonators by combining magneto-optical imaging and high-frequency measurements. We will also discuss the possibility to improve the performance of superconducting films by introducing periodic surface structures by means of a femtosecond UV laser.
