Analysis of Josephson junctions switching time distributions for the detection of single microwave photons

A. S. Piedjou Komnang, C. Guarcello, C. Barone +5

We investigate an optimal scheme for the detection of single microwave photons by a Josephson junction through the analysis of its switching times distribution. The proposed analys…

Dynamical Reduction of Two Series Josephson Junctions to a Synthetic High-Transparency Josephson Element

Claudio Guarcello, Sergio Pagano, Carlo Barone +3

Two conventional Josephson junctions connected in series can reproduce, in the static limit in which the currents through the capacitive and resistive channels are negligible, the…

Transparency-engineered SQUID cells for Kerr-free three-wave-mixing Josephson metamaterials

Claudio Guarcello, A. Mert Bozkurt, Carlo Barone +3

We introduce a transparency-engineered rf-SQUID cell for Kerr-free three-wave-mixing Josephson metamaterials. This design replaces the conventional tunnel-junction element with an…

Effect of 2 harmonic current--phase relation on a behavior of a Josephson Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier

Claudio Guarcello, Carlo Barone, Giovanni Carapella +3

We numerically investigate the behavior of a Josephson traveling wave parametric amplifier assuming a current-phase relation with a second--harmonic contribution. We find that vary…

Driving a Josephson Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier into chaos: effects of a non-sinusoidal current-phase relation

Claudio Guarcello, Carlo Barone, Giovanni Carapella +4

In this work, we develop a comprehensive numerical analysis of the dynamic response of a Josephson Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier (JTWPA) by varying the driving parameters, wi…
