By numerically solving the two-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equations, we have for the first time evaluated the optimal size of an insulating inclusion for pinning a single-quantum vortex in a superconductor. Although it has so far been believed that the optimal size of a pinning center is twice the coherence length, we found for the first time that, for the case of low magnetic fields and low pinning...
