We explore the effect of noise on the ballistic graphene-based small Josephson junctions in
the framework of the resistively and capacitively shunted model. We use the non-sinusoidal …

The role of thermal and non-Gaussian noise on the dynamics of driven short overdamped
Josephson junctions is studied. The mean escape time of the junction is investigated …

We use a hysteretic Josephson junction as an on-chip detector of the third moment of shot
noise of a tunnel junction. The detectable bandwidth is determined by the plasma frequency …

We study the transient statistical properties of short and long Josephson junctions under the
influence of thermal and correlated fluctuations. In particular, we investigate the lifetime of …

We present the analysis of the mean switching time and its standard deviation of short
overdamped Josephson junctions, driven by a direct current and a periodic signal. The effect …

An experimental investigation of the critical current noise in underdamped niobium based
Josephson devices [junctions and Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID)] …

We employ a hysteretic Josephson junction in on-chip detection of shot noise generated in a
tunnel junction. The switching rate of the detector from its supercurrent state displays an …

This thesis presents two type of experiments using a Josephson junction to probe
mesoscopic effects. The first part describes the measurement of the third moment of the shot …

Mesoscopic physics investigates structures smaller than the everyday macroscopic scale but
larger than the scale of individual atoms, with properties that can often only be explained in …

We propose to probe the distribution of current fluctuations by means of the escape
probability histogram of a Josephson junction (JJ), obtained using very short bias current …
