摘要：
Spectral density of current fluctuations in a short ballistic superconducting quantum point contact is calculated for arbitrary bias voltages V. Contrary to a commonly held view that the supercurrent flow in Josephson junctions is a coherent process without fluctuations, we find extremely large current noise that is caused by the supercurrent coherence. At finite voltages, this noise can be qualitatively understood as the shot noise of the large charge quanta of magnitude 2 Delta/V equal to the charge transferred through the contact during one period of the Josephson oscillations.
