Miniaturization of Josephson Junctions for Digital Superconducting Circuits

چکیده
In this work, we briefly overview various options for Josephson junctions, which should be scalable down to nanometer range utilization in nanoscale digital superconducting technology. Such junctions possess high values of critical current, ${I}_{c}$, and normal state resistance, ${R}_{N}$. Another requirement is the reproducibility junction parameters across a wafer fabrication process. We argue that superconductor-normal metal-superconductor ($SN$-$N$-$NS$) ``variable thickness bridge'' geometry promising choice meet these requirements. Theoretical analysis $SN$-$N$-$NS$ performed case where distance between $S$ electrodes comparable coherence length $N$ material. The restriction on geometrical providing existence superconductivity derived current flowing through an order ${I}_{c}$. heating, as well available mechanisms heat removal, analyzed. obtained results show with (submillivolt) value ${I}_{c}{R}_{N}$ product can fabricated from broadly utilized combination materials like Nb/Cu using well-established technological processes. area scaled semiconductor transistors frame 40-nm

Thermal Activation of Superconducting Josephson Junctions
Superconducting quantum circuits (SQCs) are being explored as model systems for scalable quantum computing architectures. Josephson junctions are extensively used in superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and in persistent-current qubit systems. Noise excitations, however, have a critical influence on their dynamics. Thus, the primary focus of this research was to investigate the...

Josephson directional amplifier for quantum measurement of superconducting circuits.
We realize a microwave quantum-limited amplifier that is directional and can therefore function without the front circulator needed in many quantum measurements. The amplification takes place in only one direction between the input and output ports. Directionality is achieved by multipump parametric amplification combined with wave interference. We have verified the device noise performances by...
متن کاملJosephson effect in small - area superconducting tunnel junctions at 604
We have measured the ac Josephson effect in small-area superconducting tunnel junctions at 604 GHz (A = 496pm) using a resonant planar dipole antenna to couple the radiation into the junction. In a 176-fl junction, we have observed up to the 7th Josephson step (at 8.75 m V), a performance comparable to that seen in point contacts. We also compare our data with the results of the RSJ model and o...
