Quantum Noise and Mutiple Andreev Reflections in Superconducting Contacts
The mechanism of multiple Andreev reflections (MAR) leads to a rather complex behavior of the noise spectral density in superconducting quantum point contacts as function of the relevant parameters.…
The current-phase relation in Josephson junctions
This review provides a theoretical basis for understanding the current-phase relation (CPhiR) for the stationary (dc) Josephson effect in various types of superconducting junctions. The authors…

Self-consistent theory of superconducting mesoscopic weak links.
TLDR
The transition from the point contact limit to the infinite channel length case is studied, analyzing the maximum Josephson current that can be sustained by the weak link as a function of its transmission coefficient and length.

Phase-Dependent Resistance in a Superconductor-Two-Dimensional-Electron-Gas Quasiparticle Interferometer.
TLDR
By reducing the influence of the Josephson coupling strength at high dc current bias and large interelectrode spacing, magneto-oscillations in the resistance with a period h/2e are observed, which are attributed to quasiparticle interference.
Josephson current through a superconducting quantum point contact shorter than the coherence length.
It is shown theoretically that the critical current of a smooth and impurity-free superconducting constriction increases stepwise as a function of its width. The step height at zero temperature is…

The theory of superconducting tunneling is extended to treat superconducting junctions with arbitrarily thin, but structureless tunnel barriers. An exact expression for the tunneling current is…
