Abstract
Nonreciprocal transport is important in technology; asymmetry in the current-voltage response in semiconductor junctions has been the basis for diodes and transistors. Nonreciprocal superconductivity, however, proved elusive and only recently was the superconducting diode effect achieved using magnetic fields. Recently, we demonstrated a Josephson diode (JD) using a quantum material Josephson junction without requirng an applied magnetic field. Using an inversion symmetry breaking 2D-heterostructure, half-wave rectification was achieved with low switching current density and high rectification ratio. Recently, a plethora of nonreciprocal QMJJ and other architectures have been investigated and future directions for optimization and novel exploration will be discussed.
