A classical battery converts chemical energy into a persistent voltage bias capable of powering electronic circuits. Similarly, a phase battery is a quantum device that provides a continuous phase bias to the wavefunction of a superconducting circuit. In our research, we achieved the first demonstration of a phase battery in a nanowire-based Josephson junction. Read more in Nature Nanotechnology.
