The modern primary voltage standard is based on the ac Josephson effect and the ensuing
Shapiro steps, where a microwave tone applied to a Josephson junction yields a constant …

Experiments with one-dimensional arrays of Josephson junctions in the regime of
dominating charging energy show that the Coulomb blockade is lifted at the threshold …

We study the superconductor-insulator quantum phase transition in disordered Josephson-
junction chains. To this end, we derive the field theory from the lattice model that describes a …

The relationship of topological insulators and superconductors and the field of nonlinear
dynamics is widely unexplored. To address this subject, we adopt the linear coupling …

We studied quantum phase-slip (QPS) phenomena in long one-dimensional Josephson
junction series arrays with tunable Josephson coupling. These chains were fabricated with …

We present an analog quantum simulator of spacetimes containing traversable wormholes.
A suitable spatial dependence in the external bias of a dc-SQUID array mimics the …

We study the damping of plasma waves in linear Josephson junction chains as well as in
two capacitively coupled chains. In the parameter regime where the ground capacitance can …

We introduce analogue quantum simulations of 1+ 1 dimensional sections of exotic 3+ 1
dimensional spacetimes, such as Alcubierre warp-drive spacetime, Gödel rotating universe …

We propose quantum simulations of 1+ 1D radial sections of different black hole spacetimes
(Schwarzschild, Reissner–Nordstrøm, Kerr and Kerr–Newman), by means of a dc-SQUID …

We propose an analogue quantum simulator of a 1+ 1D spacetime containing non-causal
curves, in particular null geodesics going back in time, by means of a dc-SQUID array …
