The Josephson effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon observed in superconductors, where a supercurrent flows between two superconductors separated by a thin layer of insulator or a nonsuperconducting material, often referred to as a Josephson junction. This effect was first predicted by the physicist Brian D. Josephson in 1962 and has since become fundamental to various applications in superconducting electronics.
