The Josephson effect is the phenomenon of supercurrent, a current that flows continuously without any voltage applied, across a device known as a Josephson junction (JJ), which consists of two or more ...

The microscopic processes taking place in superconductors are difficult to observe directly. Researchers at the RPTU University of Kaiserslautern-Landau have therefore implemented a quantum simulation ...

RF SQUIDs (radio frequency Superconducting quantum interference device) only need one Josephson junction to work. This is used for magnetic field sensing. It would not need high current or other high ...

A technical paper titled “Josephson transistor from the superconducting diode effect in domain wall and skyrmion magnetic racetracks” was published by researchers at University of Basel. “In ...

A technical paper titled “Gate-tunable superconducting diode effect in a three-terminal Josephson device” was published by researchers at University of Minnesota, University of California Santa ...

Modern microwave technology, including the generation, manipulation, and detection of microwaves, plays a vital role in various fields, such as high-frequency integrated circuits, quantum computing, ...

The research was published in the journal Science ("Observation of Shapiro steps in an ultracold atomic Josephson junction"). Two superconductors separated by a wafer-thin insulating layer – that's ...

The experiment takes place in a vacuum chamber, where ultracold atomic clouds with a temperature of 30 nK are generated via laser cooling. Pictured: Professor Herwig Ott and Dr. Erik Bernhart. They ...

They enable high-precision measurements, define the unit of voltage, and form the heart of many quantum computers – the so-called Josephson contacts. However, the microscopic processes taking place in ...
