We propose a scheme for the detection of microwave-induced photons through a current-
biased Josephson junction, from the point of view of the statistical decision theory. Our …

Here, we experimentally test the applicability of an aluminium Josephson junction of a few
micrometers size as a single photon counter in the microwave frequency range. We have …

The direct effect of an axion field on Josephson junctions is analyzed through the
consequences on the effective potential barrier that prevents the junction from switching …

Single-photon detection is an energy quantum limit detection (EQLD) of a significantly weak
electromagnetic wave. Given the sensitivity of the conventional electromagnetic induction …

The performances of a Josephson junction employed to reveal a train of pulses (a rough
model for single photon detection) are analyzed with a theoretical estimate that exploits an …
