Tuning the inductance of Josephson junction arrays without SQUIDs
arXiv:2210.12119 · doi:10.1063/5.0171047
Abstract
It is customary to use arrays of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) for implementing magnetic field-tunable inductors. Here, we demonstrate an equivalent tunability in a (SQUID-free) array of single Al/AlOx/Al Josephson tunnel junctions. With the proper choice of junction geometry, a perpendicularly applied magnetic field bends along the plane of the superconductor and focuses into the tunnel barrier region due to a demagnetization effect. Consequently, the Josephson inductance can be efficiently modulated by the Fraunhoffer-type supercurrent interference. The elimination of SQUIDs not only simplifies the device design and fabrication, but also facilitates a denser packing of junctions and, hence, a higher inductance per unit length. As an example, we demonstrate a transmission line, the wave impedance of which is field-tuned in the range of , centered around the important value of the resistance quantum .
