abstract = {The Josephson effect is the keystone of quantum computing
with superconductinghardware. In this talk, I will show that
the celebrated sin(phi) Josephsonrelation fails to fully
describe the measured energy spectra of many
transmonsamples. While the microscopic theory of Josephson
junctions contains higherharmonics sin(2*phi), sin(3*phi),
..., these have generally been considerednegligible in
tunnel junctions. However, this assumption is unjustified
due tothe non-uniformity of the commonly used AlOx tunnel
barriers, which can causehigh-transparency conduction
channels. Indeed, by including the Josephsonharmonics in the
transmon Hamiltonian, we can greatly improve the
agreementbetween computed and measured energy spectra. The
observation of Josephsonharmonics in tunnel junctions
prompts a reevaluation of our theoretical modelsfor
superconducting hardware.},
