High Tc Josephson junction arrays for quantum standards and measurement devices
EF 2024-25
Résumé
The partnerships goals are to advance the development of high Tc Josephson junctions as the basis for a host of quantum metrology devices that underlie present state of the art in electrical metrology. The partnership will develop and fabricate robust, low noise, high performance Josephson junctions (JJ) initially for direct metrology applications using low Tc superconducting materials with critical temperatures up to 89 K. The impact is to decrease the reliance on costly cryo-systems and on increasingly scarce liquid helium supplies. Increasing the operation temperatures will also reduce the measurement complexity and cost of measurement and sensing devices based on the Josephson effect. Together these advances will extend the application areas of these devices.
