Comparison of Two Interpretations of Josephson Effect

TL;DR

This paper compares two interpretations of the Josephson effect, highlighting that the ATS-based interpretation aligns with quantum physics fundamentals, unlike the BCS-based view.

Contribution

It introduces an ATS-based interpretation of the Josephson effect and compares it to the traditional BCS-based interpretation, emphasizing its consistency with quantum physics.

Findings

ATS interpretation does not require revising quantum physics fundamentals

ATS and BCS interpretations differ in their foundational assumptions

ATS offers a potentially more consistent explanation of the Josephson effect

Abstract

This paper puts forward an interpretation of the Josephson effect based on the Alternative Theory of Superconductivity (ATS). A comparison of ATS- and BCS-based interpretations is provided. It is demonstrated that the ATS-based interpretation, unlike that based on BCS theory, does not require a revision of fundamentals of quantum physics.
