← ScienceWhich outcome results within a Josephson junction when the oxide layer increases beyond manufacturing tolerances?
A)Reduced Cooper pair density
B)Enhanced critical current
C)Increased quantum entanglement
D)Suppressed electron tunneling✓
💡 Explanation
Suppressed electron tunneling occurs due to exponential decay of the wave function within the widened barrier; this reduction weakens *tunneling* *probability* because electron transmission drops sharply, therefore fewer pass through rather than more, if the barrier were thinner.
