Abstract
A Josephson junction (JJ) device is disclosed that includes a first superconductor structure having a bottom superconductor arm portion and a second superconductor structure having a top superconductor arm portion disposed substantially orthogonal to the bottom superconductor arm portion and overlapping the bottom superconductor arm portion in a JJ operation region. The JJ device further includes a dielectric material layer acting as a tunnel barrier disposed between the bottom superconductor arm portion and the top superconductor arm portion in the JJ operation region to form an operating JJ.
