"Unlocking the Potential: Exploring the Superconducting Diode Effect in Coupled Josephson Junctions"

Researchers have observed the superconducting diode effect in a device consisting of two coherently coupled Josephson junctions (JJs). The SC diode effect, where a material is superconducting in one direction and resistive in the other, has potential applications in future integrated circuits. By modulating the phase of the coupled JJs, the researchers were able to produce the SC diode effect, providing insights into the physics underlying this phenomenon. This work could lead to the development of highly performing superconducting electronic components and inspire further research in the field.
