Abstract
A Josephson junction (JJ) device is provided. The JJ device comprises an operating JJ, a first hydrogen-trapping JJ having a first end coupled to a first end of the operating JJ and a second end coupled to a first superconductor wire, and a second hydrogen-trapping JJ having a first end coupled to a second end of the operating JJ and a second end coupled to a second superconductor wire. The first hydrogen-trapping JJ and the second hydrogen-trapping JJ mitigates hydrogen diffusion into the operating JJ.
