Abstract The Josephson effect, an important quantum supercurrent phenomenon, has been extensively studied in superconductors and superfluids. In this paper, we investigate the rich physics of one-dimensional Josephson junctions in a red-detuned optical lattice with sodium (Na) quantum gas. A one-dimensional Josephson array is formed by setting up an optical lattice using a red-detuned laser. By characterizing the dependence of Josephson oscillations of the lattice depth, we experimentally demonstrate the Josephson current. The lattice depth is controlled by altering the lattice power, and our observations are consistent with theoretical predictions. These findings offer valuable insights into quantum coherent transport and the intricate dynamics inherent to superfluidity.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
