Abstract

We report on experiments with one-dimensional (1D) arrays of small-capacitance superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), where an external magnetic field can be used to tune in situ the Josephson coupling between neighboring superconducting electrodes. We have studied the superconductor–insulator transition in such arrays, and have also used these arrays to bias a single Josephson junction. In the later experiment, we have observed a clear Coulomb blockade of Cooper-pair tunnelling (CBCPT) in the single junction.
