We investigate mesoscopic Josephson junction arrays created by patterning superconducting disks on monolayer graphene, concentrating on the high-$T/T_c$ regime of these devices and the phenomena which contribute to the superconducting glass state in diffusive arrays. We observe features in the magnetoconductance at rational fractions of flux quanta per array unit cell, which we attribute to the formation of flux-quantized vortices. The applied fields at which the features occur are well described by Ginzburg-Landau simulations that take into account the number of unit cells in the array. We find that the mean conductance and universal conductance fluctuations are both enhanced below the critical temperature and field of the superconductor, with greater enhancement away from the graphene Dirac point.

Coulomb drag and depinning are electronic transport phenomena that occur in low-dimensional nanostructures. Recently, both phenomena have been reported in bilinear Josephson junction arrays. These devices provide a unique opportunity to study the int
erplay of Coulomb drag and depinning in a system where all relevant parameters can be controlled experimentally. We explain the Coulomb drag and depinning characteristics in the I-V curve of the bilinear Josephson junction array by adopting a quasicharge model which has previously proven useful in describing threshold phenomena in linear Josephson junction arrays. Simulations are performed for a range of coupling strengths, where numerically obtained I-V curves match well with what has been previously observed experimentally. Analytic expressions for the ratio between the active and passive currents are derived from depinning arguments. Novel phenomena are predicted at voltages higher than those for which experimental results have been reported to date.
Recent experiments on Josephson junction arrays (JJAs) in microwave cavities have opened up a new avenue for investigating the properties of these devices while minimising the amount of external noise coming from the measurement apparatus itself. The
se experiments have already shown promise for probing many-body quantum effects in JJAs. In this work, we develop a general theoretical description of such experiments by deriving a quantum phase model for planar JJAs containing quantized vortices. The dynamical susceptibility of this model is calculated for some simple circuits, and signatures of the injection of additional vortices are identified. The effects of decoherence are considered via a Lindblad master equation.
An in-plane magnetic field applied to an Ising superconductor converts spin-singlet Cooper pairs to spin-triplet ones. In this work, we study a Josephson junction formed by two Ising superconductors that are proximitized by ferromagnetic layers. This
leads to highly tunable spin-triplet pairing correlations which allow to modulate the charge and spin supercurrents through the in-plane magnetic exchange fields. For a junction with a nonmagnetic barrier, the charge current is switchable by changing the relative alignment of the in-plane exchange fields, and a $pi$-state can be realized. Furthermore, the charge and spin current-phase relations display a $phi_0$-junction behavior for a strongly spin-polarized ferromagnetic barrier.
Josephson junctions with three or more superconducting leads have been predicted to exhibit topological effects in the presence of few conducting modes within the interstitial normal material. Such behavior, of relevance for topologically-protected q
uantum bits, would lead to specific transport features measured between terminals, with topological phase transitions occurring as a function of phase and voltage bias. Although conventional, two-terminal Josephson junctions have been studied extensively, multi-terminal devices have received relatively little attention to date. Motivated in part by the possibility to ultimately observe topological phenomena in multi-terminal Josephson devices, as well as their potential for coupling gatemon qubits, here we describe the superconducting features of a top-gated mesoscopic three-terminal Josephson device. The device is based on an InAs two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) proximitized by epitaxial aluminum. We map out the transport properties of the device as a function of bias currents, top gate voltage and magnetic field. We find a very good agreement between the zero-field experimental phase diagram and a resistively and capacitively shunted junction (RCSJ) computational model.
We investigate the coherent energy and thermal transport in a temperature-biased long Josephson tunnel junction, when a Josephson vortex, i.e., a soliton, steadily drifts driven by an electric bias current. We demonstrate that thermal transport throu
gh the junction can be controlled by the bias current, since it determines the steady-state velocity of the drifting soliton. We study the effects on thermal transport of the damping affecting the soliton dynamics. In fact, a soliton locally influences the power flowing through the junction and can cause the variation of the temperature of the device. When the soliton speed increases approaching its limiting value, i.e., the Swihart velocity, we demonstrate that the soliton-induces thermal effects significantly modify. Finally, we discuss how the appropriate material selection of the superconductors forming the junction is essential, since short quasiparticle relaxation times are required to observe fast thermal effects.
