Description

This lecture introduces the washboard potential model, which describes the dynamics of real Josephson Junctions. The model compares the phase difference in a JJ to a massive ball rolling in a potential U(x). It covers the RSCJ-Model, the washboard potential, and limiting cases for overdamped and underdamped junctions.
