In the presence of an external magnetic field Cooper pairs in noncentrosymmetric superconductors can acquire finite momentum. Recent theory predicts that such finite-momentum pairing can lead to an asymmetric critical current, where a…

In the classical Josephson effect the phase difference across the junction is well defined, and the supercurrent is reduced only weakly by phase diffusion. For mesoscopic junctions with small capacitance the phase undergoes large quantum…

It is well established that superconductivity is based on a coherent quantum state of Cooper pairs with charge 2e, and this is equally true of the Josephson effect. In contrast, Kadin recently presented an alternative real-space model of…

The Josephson diode effect, where the critical current magnitude depends on its direction, arises when both time-reversal and inversion symmetries are broken - often achieved by a combination of spin-orbit interaction and applied magnetic…
