Circulator function in a Josephson junction circuit and braiding of Majorana zero modes

Abstract We propose a scheme for the circulator function in a superconducting circuit consisting of a three-Josephson junction loop and a trijunction. In this study we obtain the exact Lagrangian of the system by deriving the effective potential from the fundamental boundary conditions. We subsequen...

description Abstract We propose a scheme for the circulator function in a superconducting circuit consisting of a three-Josephson junction loop and a trijunction.
