We propose a threshold detector for Lévy-distributed fluctuations based on a Josephson
junction. The Lévy-noise current added to a linearly ramped bias current results in clear …

Noise-induced phenomena characterise the nonlinear relaxation of nonequilibrium physical
systems towards equilibrium states. Often, this relaxation process proceeds through …

We numerically investigate the generation of solitons in current-biased long Josephson
junctions in relation to the superconducting lifetime and the voltage drop across the device …

We investigate the superconducting lifetime of a long overdamped current-biased
Josephson junction, in the presence of telegraph noise sources. The analysis is performed …

We investigate the superconducting lifetime of long current-biased Josephson junctions, in
the presence of Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise sources. In particular, we analyze the …

We review three different approaches to investigate the non-equilibrium stochastic dynamics
of a Josephson junction affected by Lévy-distributed current fluctuations. First, we study the …

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 propose to characterize Lévy-distributed stochastic fluctuations through the
measurement of the average voltage drop across a current-biased Josephson junction. We …

The advances in the manufacture of high temperature superconductors lead to increase the
number of applications connected with Josephson junctions (JJs). Recently, for example, in …

In this paper, we investigate the effect of alpha stable Lévy noise with alpha stability index α
(0< α≤ 2) on stochastic resonance (SR) in underdamped periodic potential systems by the …
