Josephson junctions are key elements in superconducting electronics. The most common type is the overlap (sandwich-type) junction, formed by vertically stacking two superconducting layers. In contrast, planar junctions are fabricated…
We investigate the Josephson diode effect (JDE) in topological Josephson junctions. By both analytic and numerical calculations, we find that while a Josephson junction in the topological phase may exhibit higher diode efficiency compared…

The hetero junction between the different materials often gives the rectification effect; e.g., pn junction is used for diode. On the other hand, the Josephson junction between the two superconductors is assumed to show symmetric response…
Superconducting integrated circuits have demonstrated a tremendous potential to realize integrated quantum computing processors. However, the downside of the solid-state approach is that superconducting qubits suffer strongly from energy…
Peculiar features of the Josephson effect in graphene were described theoretically by Titov and Beenakker [Phys. Rev. B 74, 041401(R) (2006)], who solved the Dirac-Bogoliubov-de-Gennes equation for a superconductor-graphene-superconductor…
