Since the first demonstration of coherent control of a quantum state of a superconducting charge qubit a variety of Josephson-junction-based qubits have been implemented with remarkable progress in coherence time and read-out schemes.…
A long Josephson junction containing regions with a phase shift of pi is considered. By exploiting the defect modes due to the discontinuities present in the system, it is shown that Josephson junctions with phase-shift can be an ideal…
We present a unified, quantitative description of transport across the crossover between hydrodynamic weak-link flow and tunneling-dominated Josephson dynamics in a three-dimensional quantum fluid. Using an atomic Josephson junction…
We discuss activated escape from a metastable state of a system driven by a time-periodic force. We show that the escape probabilities can be changed very strongly even by a comparatively weak force. In a broad parameter range, the…
By using a propagation scheme for current matrices and an auxiliary mode expansion method, we investigate the transient dynamics of a single molecular junction coupled with a vibrational mode. Our approach is based on the Anderson-Holstein…
Josephson junctions are a key element of superconducting quantum technology, serving as the core building blocks of superconducting qubits. We present an experimental study on room-temperature electrical tuning of aluminum junctions,…
Pulse-coupled systems such as spiking neural networks exhibit nontrivial invariant sets in the form of attracting yet unstable saddle periodic orbits where units are synchronized into groups. Heteroclinic connections between such orbits may…
We suggest to subject anharmonically trapped Bose-Einstein condensates to sinusoidal forcing with a smooth, slowly changing envelope, and to measure the coherence of the system after such pulses. In a series of measurements with…
We show that a reversible pumping mechanism operating between two states of a kinetic network can give rise to Poisson transitions between these two states. An external observer, for whom the pumping mechanism is not accessible, will…
An amplification of a weak low-frequency harmonic signal is experimentally observed in a single-junction-superconducting quantum interferometer (RF SQUID loop) due to stochastic transitions between two or more metastable states of the loop…
Precise control of topologically protected excitations, such as quantum vortices in atomtronic circuits, opens new possibilities for future quantum technologies. We theoretically investigate the dynamics of Josephson vortices (rotational…
The results are presented of a numerical simulation of the switching magnetic junction by a spin-polarized current pulse under applied magnetic field with the current density and field below the threshold values. A possibility is shown of…
Long Josephson tunnel junction are non-linear transmission lines that allow propagation of current vortices (fluxons) and electromagnetic waves and are used in various applications within superconductive electronics. Recently, the Josephson…
Control of the Josephson current by varying a gate current has recently been demonstrated in both 4-terminal and 3-terminal junctions. We show that, when the the gates are weakly coupled to the Josephson junction, the Josephson current…
Along with the scaling of dimensions in quantum systems, transitions between the system's energy levels would become close in frequency, which are conventionally resolved by weak and lengthy pulses. Here, we extend and experimentally…
The phase dynamics of the stack of long Josephson junctions has been studied. Both inductive and capacitive couplings between Josephson junctions have been taken into account in the calculations. The IV--curve, bias current dependence of…
Intrinsic Josephson-junction stacks realized in high-temperature superconductors provide a very attractive base for developing coherent sources of electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz frequency range. A promising way to synchronize…
We revisit recent claims about the instability of non-rotating tunnel coupled annular Bose-Einstein condensates leading to the emergence of angular-momentum Josephson oscillation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 050401 (2007),…
We present evidence for a close analogy between the nonlinear behavior of a pulsed microwave-driven Josephson junction at low temperature and the experimentally observed behavior of Josephson systems operated below the quantum transition…
We have observed coherent time evolution between two quantum states of a superconducting flux qubit comprising three Josephson junctions in a loop. The superposition of the two states carrying opposite macroscopic persistent currents is…
