We study the Josephson current in two types of lateral junctions with spin-orbit coupling and an exchange field. The first system (type 1 junction) consists of superconductors with heavy metal interlayers linked by a ferromagnetic bridge,…
We investigate the supercurrent through a quantum dot for the whole range of couplings using the numerical renormalization group method. We find that the Josephson current switches abruptly from a $\pi$- to a 0-phase as the coupling…
The fluxon dynamics in a long Josephson junction with a ferromagnetic insulating layer is investigated. It is found that the Josephson phase obeys a double sine-Gordon equation involving a bound pi fluxon solution, and the internal…
With the help of the numerical renormalization group method, we theoretically investigate the Josephson phase transition in a parallel junction with one quantum dot embedded in each arm. It is found that in the cases of uniform dot levels…
We study the T=0 normal to superconducting transition of Josephson arrays with {\it on-site} dissipation. A perturbative renormalization group solution is given. Like the previously studied case of {\it bond} dissipation (BD), this is a…
Josephson junction arrays can be used as quantum channels to transfer quantum information between distant sites. In this work we discuss simple protocols to realize state transfer with high fidelity. The channels do not require complicate…
Atomtronics has the potential for engineering new types of functional devices, such as Josephson junctions (JJs). Previous studies have mainly focused on JJs whose ground states have 0 or $\pi $ superconducting phase difference across the…
We apply a Gutzwiller-like variational technique to study Josephson conduction across a quantum dot with an odd number of electrons connected to two superconducting leads. We show that, for small values of the superconducting gap, Kondo…
We propose novel model system for the studies of superconductor-insulator transitions, which is a regular lattice, whose each link consists of Josephson-junction chain of $N \gg 1$ junctions in sequence. The theory of such an array is…
We consider dissipative quantum phase transitions in Josephson junction arrays and show that the disordered phase in this extended system can be viewed as an unusual floating phase in which the states of local $(0+1)$-dimensional elements…
A transition between the strong (coherent) and weak (incoherent) coupling limits of resonant interaction between quantum well (QW) excitons and bulk photons is analyzed and quantified as a function of the incoherent damping rate caused by…
A system of two parallel Josephson junction arrays coupled by interlayer capacitances is considered in the situation where one layer is in the vortex-dominated and the other in the charge-dominated regime. This system shows a symmetry…
The direct effect of an axion field on Josephson junctions is analyzed through the consequences on the effective potential barrier that prevents the junction from switching from the superconducting to the finite-voltage state. We describe a…
We analyze the coherent dynamics of a fluxonium device (Manucharyan et al 2009 Science 326 113) formed by a superconducting ring of Josephson junctions in which strong quantum phase fluctuations are localized exclusively on a single weak…
A quantum mechanical analysis of the Josephson phase escape in the presence of both dc and ac bias currents is presented. We find that the potential barrier for the escape of the phase is effectively suppressed as the resonant condition…
We consider the current-phase relation (CPR) in the Josephson junctions with complex insulator-superconductor-ferromagnetic interlayers in the vicinity of 0-$\pi$ transition. We find a strong impact of the second harmonic on CPR of the…
We derive the radiation power from a single Josephson junction (JJ) and from layered superconductors in the flux-flow regime. For the JJ case we formulate the boundary conditions for the electric and magnetic fields at the edges of the…
We study a 1-D array of Josephson coupled superconducting grains with kinetic inductance which dominates over the Josephson inductance. In this limit the dynamics of excess Cooper pairs in the array is described in terms of charge solitons,…
Using the path integral approach, we provide an explicit derivation of the equation for the phase boundary for quantum Josephson junction arrays with offset charges and non-diagonal capacitance matrix. For the model with nearest neighbor…
We consider a simple model for an SNS Josephson junction in which the "normal metal" is a section of a filling-factor $\nu=2$ integer quantum-Hall edge. We provide analytic expressions for the current/phase relations to all orders in the…
