A Josephson diode passes current with zero resistance in one direction but is resistive in the other direction. While such an effect has been observed in several platforms, a large and tunable Josephson diode effect has been rare. Here we…

Josephson tunnel junctions are essential elements of superconducting quantum circuits. The operability of these circuits presumes a $2\pi$-periodic sinusoidal potential of a tunnel junction, but higher-order corrections to this Josephson…

Josephson weak links in superconductors can be engineered such that the phase difference across the junction is $\pi$ ($\pi$-junction),leading to the reversal of the current. The conditions under which the analogous effect of supercurrent…
