← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a Josephson junction ages?
A)Critical current density decreases irreversibly✓
B)Resonance frequency becomes highly predictable
C)Thermal noise averages towards zero kelvin
D)Tunnel barrier width remains perfectly uniform
💡 Explanation
In a Josephson junction aging leads to degradation of the insulating barrier because oxidation introduces defects; therefore, the critical current density (dependent on electron tunneling) decreases irreversibly rather than increasing, because the junction's conductive properties degrade.
