← ScienceWhich consequence results when thermal runaway occurs in supercooled Josephson junctions?
A)Abrupt transition to normal conduction✓
B)Increased quantum entanglement stability
C)Enhanced Cooper pair formation rate
D)Suppressed macroscopic quantum tunneling
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway raises the junction temperature, disrupting superconductivity because the quantum tunneling of Cooper pairs across the insulating barrier decreases above the critical temperature. This leads to a swift transition to normal conduction, rather than any enhancement; because temperature controls this transition.
