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 ...

Switching takes place in a few picoseconds. Although Josephson junctions have not materialized for ordinary computer circuits, they have been used thus far in medical instruments and quantum ...
