The Josephson effect is a macroscopic quantum tunneling phenomenon in a system with superfluid property, when it is split into two parts by a barrier. Here, we examine the Josephson effect in a driven-dissipative supersolid realized by…
The existence of Josephson tunneling has been demonstrated between YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ and Pb with the current flowing along the c-axis of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$. This is presumed to come from an s-wave component of the…
A Josephson diode is a superconducting circuit element that enables non-reciprocal transport, allowing a dissipationless supercurrent to preferentially flow in a single direction. Existing methods for achieving the required symmetry…
In his original work Josephson predicted that a phase-dependent conductance should be present in superconducting tunnel junctions, an effect difficult to detect, mainly because it is hard to single it out from the usual non-dissipative…
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…
