However, constriction junctions behave differently from their SIS counterparts. So, the scientists also investigated the consequences of making this architectural change.

"Making SIS junctions is truly an art," said Charles Black, co-author of the paper that recently published in the Physical Review A and director of the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a ...

However, constriction junctions behave differently from their SIS counterparts. So, the scientists also investigated the consequences of making this architectural change.

Superconducting constriction junctions are inherently more linear than tried-and-true SIS junctions, meaning they are less ideal for qubit architectures. However, the scientists found that the ...
