How do Josephson Junctions Work?

A Josephson junction operates based on the principles of superconductivity and quantum tunneling. When two superconductors are placed close to each other with a thin insulator in between, Cooper pairs of electrons can tunnel through the insulator without resistance. This process is described by the Josephson effect. The current that passes through is known as the Josephson current, which can be modulated by an external magnetic field or voltage.
