Setup for Experiments on the Supercurrent-Phase Relation in Bloch Transistors — Status and Possible Applications

  • Conference paper
International Workshop on Superconducting Nano-Electronics Devices

Abstract

The quantum dynamics of mesoscopic superconducting systems with small Josephson junctions is an interesting and timely issue. On the one hand, these systems are characterized by macroscopic variables behaving quantum mechanically (Josephson phase of the Cooper pair condensate) and, on the other hand, the dynamics is traceable to the localization of individual Cooper pairs.
