Abstract

The importance of a scientific discovery sometimes is also reflected in the impact it has in the most diverse situations. The discovery of the Josephson effect has been of fundamental importance in so many different areas, from fundamental to applied science and technology. More recently, it is also playing a pivotal role also in the emerging field of quantum technologies. In this brief note I would like to highlight the importance of the Josephson effect in the realisation of quantum simulators.
