Description

Technologies for tuning a resistance of tunnel junctions such as Josephson junctions are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a Josephson junction is heated to 85 Celsius, and an electric field is applied to the Josephson junction. The heat and the electric field cause the resistance of the Josephson junction to increase. Monitoring the Josephson junction during the application of the electric field allows for the resistance of the Josephson junction to be adjusted to a particular value.
