Secure Communication Application of Josephson Tetrode in THz Region

Abstract We numerically demonstrate the generation of chaos in a four-terminal superconductive device made of five Jospehson weak-link junctions, Josephson Tetrode. We calculate the dynamics of electrical voltages across the junctions when one of the normal resistances in varied. We confirm the generation of chaos by using temporal waveforms, three-dimensional attractors and Lyapunov exponent of chaotic attractor. We numerically investigated the threshold voltage dependence and sampling time dependence of random bits. Jospehson Tetrode is a promising superconductive device applicable to secure communication in THz region.
