The recent discovery of intrinsic supercurrent diode effect, and its prompt observation in a rich variety of systems, has shown that nonreciprocal supercurrents naturally emerge when both space- and time-inversion symmetries are broken. In…

We study the onset of dissipation in an atomic Josephson junction between Fermi superfluids in the molecular Bose-Einstein condensation limit of strong attraction. Our simulations identify the critical population imbalance and the maximum…

Superconductivity derives its most salient features from the coherence of its macroscopic wave function. The associated physical phenomena have now moved from exotic subjects to fundamental building blocks for quantum circuits such as…

The AC Josephson effect manifests itself in the form of "Shapiro steps" of quantized voltage in Josephson junctions subject to RF radiation. This effect presents an early example of a driven-dissipative quantum phenomenon and is presently…

We have calculated all the components of the current in a short one-dimensional channel between two superconductors for arbitrary voltages and transparencies $D$ of the channel. We demonstrate that in the ballistic limit ($D\simeq 1$), the…

The DC Josephson effect is the flow of supercurrent across a weak link between two superconductors with a different value of their order parameter, the phase. We generalize this notion to any kind of spontaneous continuous symmetry…

The Josephson effect describes supercurrent flowing through a junction connecting two superconducting leads by a thin barrier [1]. This current is driven by a superconducting phase difference $\phi$ between the leads. In the presence of…

We consider the superconducting phase in a moving superconductor and show that it depends on the displacement flux. Generalized constitutive relations between the phase of a superconducting interference device (SQUID) and the position of…

Transport is called nonreciprocal when not only the sign, but also the absolute value of the current, depends on the polarity of the applied voltage. It requires simultaneously broken inversion and time-reversal symmetries, e.g., by the…

We study diffusion of the Josephson phase in the asymmetric SQUID subjected to a time-periodic current and pierced by an external magnetic flux. We analyze a relation between phase diffusion and quality of transport characterized by the dc…
