Drastic suppression of noise-induced errors in underdamped long Josephson junctions.
The fluctuational propagation of solitons (magnetic fluxons) in long Josephson junctions is studied both numerically and analytically. It is demonstrated that operation in conditions where solitons are subjected to Lorentz contraction for a significant part of the junctions length leads to drastic suppression of thermal jitter at the output junction end. Specifically, for large-to-critical damp...
متن کاملNoise Induced Phenomena in Point Josephson Junctions
The investigation of nonlinear properties of Josephson junctions (JJs) is very important due to their broad applications in logic devices. Recently, a lot of attention was payed to Josephson logic devices with high damping. In papers [Rylyakov & Likharev, 1999; Bunyk et al., 2001] a description and analysis of the entire system of single flux quantum logic elements are presented. The noise prop...
متن کاملNonequilibrium effects in the thermal switching of underdamped Josephson junctions
We study the thermal escape problem in the low damping limit. We find that finiteness of the barrier is crucial for explaining the thermal activation results. In this regime, low barrier nonequilibrium corrections to the usual theories become necessary. We propose a simple theoretical extension accounting for these nonequilibrium processes which agrees numerical results. We apply our theory to ...
متن کاملQuantum charge diffusion in underdamped Josephson junctions and superconducting nanowires
The effect of quantum fluctuations on the current-voltage characteristics of Josephson junctions and superconducting nanowires is studied in the underdamped limit. Quantum fluctuations induce transitions between a Coulomb–blockade and a supercurrent branch, and can significantly modify the shape of current-voltage characteristics in the case of a highly resistive environment. Owing to the phase...
متن کاملSolitons and Long Josephson Junctions
Magnetic flux quanta, of value h/2e, in long Josephson junctions behave as (quasi) solitons. Fluxon dynamical states are well described by a perturbed sine-Gordon equation model, with boundary conditions determined by the junction geometry and by externally applied magnetic fields, and they give rise to readily measurable physical phenomena, such as step structure in current-voltage characteris...
