Title: Anomalously large Josephson switching currents in low dissipation Josephson junctions

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6043448

The authors have observed anomalously high values of the maximum switching current of Josephson junctions at temperatures where thermally activated switching was expected to drastically lower the maximum switching current. They show that these anomalously large switching currents are due to retrapping during the transition to the voltage state. They attribute this behavior to frequency dependent loading of the junctions by the package and readout circuitry.
