We calculate the current-voltage (IV ) characteristics of a Josephson junction array with long-range interactions. The array consists of two sets of equally-spaced parallel superconducting wires placed at right angles. A Josephson junction is formed at every point wherever the wires cross. We treat each such junction as an overdamped resistively-shunted junction, and each wire segment between t...

We realize a hybrid superconductor-semiconductor transmon device in which the Josephson effect is controlled by gate-defined quantum dot an InAs/Al nanowire. Microwave spectroscopy of transmon's transition spectrum allows us to probe ground state parity as function gate voltages, external magnetic flux, and field applied parallel The measured phase diagram agreement with that predicted single-i...

Direct-current superconducting quantum interference device (dc-SQUID) based on intrinsic Josephson junction (IJJ) has been fabricated using Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi-2212) films grown MgO substrates with surface steps. The loop parallel to the film across step edge contains two IJJ stacks along edge. number of crystallographically stacked for each SQUIDs were 40, 18 and 3. Those except one 40 IJJs re...

We study the microscopic structure of the Josephson current in a single-mode tunnel junction with a wide quasiclassical tunnel barrier. In such a junction each Andreev bound state carries a current of magnitude proportional to the amplitude of the normal electron transmission through the junction. Tremendous enhancement of the bound state current is caused by the resonance coupling of supercond...

Inspired by a recent experiment, we study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the I-V characteristics of a Josephson junction, coupled to a strongly resistive environment. We obtain analytical results in the limit where the Josephson energy is larger than the charging energy and quasiparticles are absent.

We study the behavior of the Josephson current IJ flowing in a finite-size Josephson junction in a superconducting ring in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field H, taking into account the effect of the shielding currents. The set of self-consistent equations for the system can be solved explicitly for IJ in the small self-inductance coefficient limit for not negligible effective ...
