The Josephson Effect: Quantum Tunneling, SQUIDs, and the Quantum Volt

Join us as we unpack the Josephson Effect: Cooper pairs tunneling through a barrier between superconductors, the SIS/SNS/SCS junctions that control it, and how this quantum phenomenon underpins ultrahigh-sensitivity magnetometers (SQUIDs) and the volt standard. We’ll trace the history from Josephson’s prediction to modern superconducting circuits, and explore the science and engineering behind one of quantum mechanics’ most practical triumphs.
