Josephson junctions are quantum mechanical devices consisting of two superconductors separated by a thin insulating barrier. They are named after Brian Josephson, who predicted their unique properties ...

Bose condensation happens in a gas of atoms when the de Broglie wavelength of the atoms becomes comparable with their average separation. All the atoms in the gas then collapse into the same quantum ...

Arrays containing as many as 20,000 Josephson junctions have been created by physicists at CSIRO in Australia. The devices are made from a high-temperature superconductor and operate at ...

An image of a superconducting quantum computer shows several round, flat, golden layers with tubes and wires between them, all encased in a transparent cylinder. The superconducting quantum computer ...

The Josephson effect is the phenomenon of supercurrent, a current that flows continuously without any voltage applied, across a device known as a Josephson junction (JJ), which consists of two or more ...

Researchers have devised a novel, inexpensive way to turn low frequency signals into higher frequencies. The approach makes use of a Nobel Prize-winning device called a Josephson junction, which is ...
