Josephson junction model with cosine interference term: Analysis, microcontroller implementation, and network analysis

Abstract

The dynamical behavior of a single and network of Josephson junction (JJ) model with cosine interference term (CIT) is explored in this paper. The rate-equations describing a single JJ model with CIT have no or two equilibrium points as a function of direct current (DC). The stability of two equilibrium points reveals that one of the equilibrium points is stable node and other is saddle node. The presence of CIT leads to the change of regular spiking and intrinsic bursting to periodic bursting. JJ circuit model with CIT shows the existence of bistable periodic attractors, periodic attractors, hidden chaotic attractors, and coexisting attractors during the numerical simulations. By increasing the coherence parameter, the coexisting attractors are controlled to bistable limit cycles. The microcontroller implementation of the JJ model with CIT is implemented to ascertain the results of numerical simulations. To demonstrate the collective behavior of the JJ model with CIT, a lattice array of identical JJ models with CIT is constructed and studied. By considering the coupling constant as the control parameter, it is demonstrated that the existence of incoherent nodes for lower coupling values and formation of chimera states when the coupling strength is increased.
