Josephson junctions are quantum mechanical devices consisting of two superconductors separated by a thin insulating barrier. They are named after Brian Josephson, who predicted their unique properties ...

Switching takes place in a few picoseconds. Although Josephson junctions have not materialized for ordinary computer circuits, they have been used thus far in medical instruments and quantum ...

Josephson tunnel junctions consist of two superconductors with a thin insulating barrier in-between and, for decades, these circuit elements have been described with a simple sinusoidal model (see ...
