Abstract

An extended Josephson junction consists of two superconducting electrodes separated by an insulator and is therefore also a microwave cavity. The superconducting phase difference across the junction determines the amplitude as well as the spatial distribution of the supercurrent. Both external magnetic fields and resonant intracavity fields produce a spatial modification of the superconducting phase along the junction. The interplay between these two effects leads to interference in the critical current of the junction and allows us to continuously tune the coupling strength between the first cavity mode and the Josephson phase from 1 to -0.68. This enables static and dynamic control of the junction in the ultrastrong-coupling regime.
