We see the Josephson Effect through a flow of electric current as electron pairs, called Cooper pairs, between two superconducting materials that are separated by an extremely thin insulator.
It is also speculated that Josephson junctions may allow the realisation of qubits, the key elements of an eventual quantum computer.
The current flow is known as the Josephson current and the quantum tunneling of the insulator by the Cooper pairs is the Josephson effect.

 Brian David Josephson - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Brian David Josephson
Josephson was born in Cardiff and studied at Cambridge University, where he has spent most of his career, becoming professor in 1974.
He then calculated the current due to quantum mechanical tunnelling across a thin strip of insulator between two superconductors, and the current–voltage characteristics of such junctions are now known as the Josephson effect.
The Josephson effect may be used as a generator of radiation, particularly in the microwave and far infrared region, and in detecting tiny anomalies in a magnetic field.

 Brian David Josephson
British physicist whose discovery of the Josephson effect while a 22-year-old graduate student won him a share (with Leo Esaki and Ivar Giaever) of the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physics.
While still an undergraduate, Josephson became interested in superconductivity, and he began to explore the properties of a junction between two superconductors that later came to be known as a Josephson junction.
Josephson extended earlier work in tunneling, the phenomenon by which electrons functioning as radiated waves can penetrate solids, done by Esaki and Giaever.

 Josephson effect - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Josephson junction, Josephson tunneling, Josephson interferometer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Named for the British physicist who designed it, a Josephson junction exploits the phenomenon of superconductivity, the ability of certain materials to conduct electric current with practically zero resistance.
The flow of current between the superconductors in the absence of an applied voltage is called a Josephson current, and the movement of electrons across the barrier is known as Josephson tunneling.
The Josephson effect is influenced by magnetic fields in the vicinity, a capacity that enables the Josephson junction to be used in devices that measure extremely weak magnetic fields, such as superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs).
