Direct measurement of a (2) current phase relation in a graphene superconducting quantum interference device
Abstract
In a Josephson junction, the current phase relation relates the phase variation of the superconducting order parameter, , between the two superconducting leads connected through a weak link, to the dissipationless current . This relation is the fingerprint of the junction. It is usually dominated by a () harmonic, however its precise knowledge is necessary to design superconducting quantum circuits with tailored properties. Here, we directly measure the current phase relation of a superconducting quantum interference device made with gate-tunable graphene Josephson junctions and we show that it can behave as a (2) Josephson element, free of the traditionally dominant () harmonic. Such element will be instrumental for the development of superconducting quantum bits protected from decoherence.
