We present theory of dc Josephson effect in contacts between Fe-based and spin-singlet $s$-wave superconductors. The method is based on the calculation of temperature Greens function in the junction within the tight-binding model. We calculate the phase dependencies of the Josephson current for different orientations of the junction relative to the crystallographic axes of Fe-based superconductor. Further, we consider the dependence of the Josephson current on the thickness of an insulating layer and on temperature. Experimental data for PbIn/Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$(FeAs)$_2$ point-contact Josephson junctions are consistent with theoretical predictions for $s_{pm}$ symmetry of an order parameter in this material. The proposed method can be further applied to calculations of the dc Josephson current in contacts with other new unconventional multiorbital superconductors, such as $Sr_2RuO_4$ and superconducting topological insulator $Cu_xBi_2Se_3$.

We study magnetization reversal in a $varphi_0$ Josephson junction with direct coupling between magnetic moment and Josephson current. Our simulations of magnetic moment dynamics show that by applying an electric current pulse, we can realize the ful
l magnetization reversal. We propose different protocols of full magnetization reversal based on the variation of the Josephson junction and pulse parameters, particularly, electric current pulse amplitude, damping of magnetization and spin-orbit interaction. We discuss experiments which can probe the magnetization reversal in $varphi_0$-junctions.
We investigate superconductor/insulator/ferromagnet/superconductor (SIFS) tunnel Josephson junctions in the dirty limit, using the quasiclassical theory. We consider the case of a strong tunnel barrier such that the left S layer and the right FS bila
yer are decoupled. We calculate quantitatively the density of states (DOS) in the FS bilayer for arbitrary length of the ferromagnetic layer, using a self-consistent numerical method. We compare these results with a known analytical DOS approximation, which is valid when the ferromagnetic layer is long enough. Finally we calculate quantitatively the current-voltage characteristics of a SIFS junction.
We present low-temperature measurements of the low-frequency $1/f$ noise arising from an ensemble of two-level fluctuators in the oxide barrier of Al/AlO$_{x}$/Al Josephson junctions. The fractional noise power spectrum of the critical-current and no
rmal-state resistance have similar magnitudes and scale linearly with temperature, implying an equivalence between the two. Compiling our results and published data, we deduce the area and temperature scaling of the noise for AlO$_{x}$ barrier junctions. We find that the density of two-level fluctuators in the junction barrier is similar to the typical value in glassy systems. We discuss the implications and consistency with recent qubit experiments.
Magnetic flux quantization in superconductors allows the implementation of fast and energy-efficient digital superconducting circuits. However, the information representation in magnetic flux severely limits their functional density presenting a long
-standing problem. Here we introduce a concept of superconducting digital circuits that do not utilize magnetic flux and have no inductors. We argue that neither the use of geometrical nor kinetic inductance is promising for the deep scaling of superconducting circuits. The key idea of our approach is the utilization of bistable Josephson junctions allowing the representation of information in their Josephson energy. Since the proposed circuits are composed of Josephson junctions only, they can be called all-Josephson junction (all-JJ) circuits. We present a methodology for the design of the circuits consisting of conventional and bistable junctions. We analyze the principles of the circuit functioning, ranging from simple logic cells and ending with an 8-bit parallel adder. The utilization of bistable junctions in the all-JJ circuits is promising in the aspects of simplification of schematics and the decrease of the JJ count leading to space-efficiency.
Josephson junctions have broad applications in metrology, quantum information processing, and remote sensing. For these applications, the electronic noise is a limiting factor. In this work we study the thermal noise in narrow Josephson junctions usi
ng a tight-binding Hamiltonian. For a junction longer than the superconducting coherence length, several self-consistent gap profiles appear close to a phase difference $pi$. They correspond to two stable solutions with an approximately constant phase-gradient over the thin superconductor connected by a $2pi$ phase slip, and a solitonic branch. The current noise power spectrum has pronounced peaks at the transition frequencies between the different states in each branch. We find that the noise is reduced in the gradient branches in comparison to the zero-length junction limit. In contrast, the solitonic branch exhibits an enhanced noise and a reduced current due to the pinning of the lowest excitation energy to close to zero energy.
