چکیده
We study analytically a current-biased topological Josephson junction supporting $\mathbb{Z}_n$ parafermions. First, we show that in an infinite-size system pair of parafermions on the can be $n$ different states; $2\pi{n}$ periodicity phase potential results significant suppression maximal current $I_m$ for insulating regime underdamped junction. Second, behaviour realistic finite-size with avoided level crossings characterized by splitting $\delta$. consider two limiting cases: when evolution may considered adiabatic, which decreased effective potential, and opposite case, Landau-Zener transitions restore potential. The resulting is exponentially limits, allows us to propose new detection method establish appearance experimentally, based measuring at values

Z4 parafermions in an interacting quantum spin Hall Josephson junction coupled to an impurity spin
Z4 parafermions can be realized in a strongly interacting quantum spin Hall Josephson junction or in a spin Hall Josephson junction strongly coupled to an impurity spin. In this paper, we study a system that has both features, but with weak (repulsive) interactions and a weakly coupled spin. We show that for a strongly anisotropic exchange interaction, at low temperatures the system enters a st...
متن کاملDynamics of an underdamped Josephson-junction ladder.
We show analytically that the dynamical equations for an underdamped ladder of coupled small Josephson junctions can be approximately reduced to the discrete sine-Gordon equation. As numerical confirmation, we solve the coupled Josephson equations for such a ladder in a magnetic field. We obtain discrete-sine-Gordon-like IV characteristics, including a flux flow and a “whirling” regime at low a...
متن کاملQuantum noise in current biased Josephson junction
Quantum fluctuations in a current biased Josephson junction, described in terms of the RCSJ-model, are considered. The fluctuations of the voltage and phase across the junction are assumed to be initiated by equilibrium current fluctuations in the shunting resistor. This corresponds to low enough temperatures, when fluctuations of the normal current in the junction itself can be neglected. We u...
متن کاملSynchronization of underdamped Josephson-junction arrays
Our recent experiments show that arrays of underdamped Josephson junctions radiate coherently only above a threshold number of junctions switched onto the radiating state. For each junction, the radiating state is a resonant step in the current-voltage characteristics due to the interaction between the junctions in the array and an electromagnetic cavity. Here we show that a model of a one-dime...
متن کاملInfluence of Thermal Fluctuations on an Underdamped Josephson Tunnel Junction
Inspired by a recent experiment, we study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the I-V characteristics of a Josephson junction, coupled to a strongly resistive environment. We obtain analytical results in the limit where the Josephson energy is larger than the charging energy and quasiparticles are absent.
