Static and dynamic interactions between Josephson junctions

Abstract

This review covers the experimental and theoretical progress over the last 15 years in the study of systems of interacting Josephson junctions. Such systems are of interest for device applications and for investigations of nonequilibrium phenomena in superconductors. In the description of coupled Josephson elements the emphasis is on the "physics" involved in a number of interaction mechanisms and not so much on the technical problems encountered in the construction of arrays of coupled juntions.
