Abstract

Small Josephson junctions are known to be very susceptible to noise. We have utilized this property in developing methods to measure noise as well as environmental resonance modes in mesoscopic systems. We review recent results on tunnel junction systems and show also that higher order moments of shot noise can be addressed with the present method based on the noise-induced modification of incoherent tunneling of Cooper pairs.
