  A dc electric current can be induced in a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor
system under illumination it by a circularly polarized light with the frequency
below the energy of semiconductor interband transitions. In conditions when the
light beam is unable to create real electron-hole excitations, this phenomenon
is reminiscent of the Meissner effect in the static magnetic field. Such an
effect can be employed in systems combining cavity photons and superconducting
quantum circuits.
