Theoretical calculations of the total current in a superconductor-barrier-superconductor device based on the conventional tunneling Hamiltonian yield three terms, conventionally termed the Josephson supercurrent or pair current, the quasiparticle current, and the quasiparticle-pair-interference or « cos ϕ » current. When reconciled, existing theories predict relative signs of the quasiparticle and quasiparticle-pair currents which are opposite to the results of recent experiments which purport to demonstrate the existence and properties of the latter current. This discrepancy remains unresolved. The cos ϕ current (whatever its sign) is not expected to give rise to qualitatively new and striking phenomena in Josephson devices, but may quanti...
