We describe here the first experimental realization of a heat interferometer, thermal
counterpart of the well-known superconducting quantum interference device. These findings …

(57) ABSTRACT A Superconducting qubit is presented. The qubit is a shaped long
Josephson junction with a magnetic fluxon Such that, in the presence of an externally …

We theoretically investigate heat transport in temperature-biased Josephson tunnel
junctions in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. In full analogy with the Josephson …

A method for inserting fluxons into an annular Josephson junction is disclosed. Fluxon
injection according to the present invention is based on local current injection into one of the …

The magnetic field distribution in the barrier of small planar Josephson tunnel junctions is
numerically simulated in the case when an external magnetic field is applied perpendicular …

We report systematic measurements of the critical current versus magnetic-field patterns of
annular Josephson junctions in a wide magnetic-field range. A modulation of the envelope …

We show that in a small annular junction the injection of a local current in one of the two ring
electrodes causes the Josephson critical current to modulate according to the Fraunhofer …

We report on experimental results about Josephson junctions for radiation detection with an
annular geometry. The observed suppression of the critical Josephson current and the …

The position and amplitude of self-resonances (Fiske steps) of an annular Josephson
junction with magnetic flux trapped in one of two electrodes have been calculated using a …

A new geometrical configuration for superconductive tunnel junctions as high energy
resolution particle detectors is presented. The proposed configuration is based on annular …
