Josephson junction |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
Josephson junctionDevice used in ‘superchips’ (large and complex integrated circuits) to speed the passage of signals by a phenomenon called ‘electron tunnelling’. Although these superchips respond a thousand times faster than the silicon chip, they have the disadvantage that the components of the Josephson junctions operate only at temperatures close to absolute zero. They are named after English theoretical physicist Brian Josephson. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The experimental development of the Josephson effect allowed voltages to be linked to unchanging fundamental constants with extremely high precision and stability [8]. The team interprets the oscillation within the lattice that creates the pulses as the first evidence in a condensate of a phenomenon called the Josephson effect. On the experimental side, the book reports on recent and previous observations of quantum behavior in several physical systems, coherently coupled Bose-Einstein condensates, quantum dots, superconducting quantum interference devices, Cooper pair boxes, and electron pumps in the context of the Josephson effect. |
