ALL meanings of josephson junction
Jo·seph·son junc·tion
J j - noun josephson junction a high-speed switch, used in experimental computers, that operates on the basis of a radiative phenomenon (Jo·sephson effect) exhibited by a pair of superconductors separated by a thin insulator. 1
- noun Definition of josephson junction in Technology (electronics) A type of electronic circuit capable of switching at very high speeds when operated at temperatures approaching absolute zero. The low power dissipation of a Josepshson Junction makes it useful in high density computer circuits. 1
- noun josephson junction (physics) a weak insulating barrier between two superconductors, used as an ultrafast switch. 0
- noun josephson junction a low-power, high-speed electronic switching device consisting of a thin insulator between two superconducting metals: it operates at a temperature near absolute zero 0
