Brian D. Josephson

His work on the Josephson junction, a configuration of two layers of superconducting material sandwiching a thin layer of non-superconducting material, was part of the quark detector used in Hal Puthoff and Ingo Swann's psychokinesis experiment at SRI.

Brian D. Josephson is a British theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973 for his prediction of the Josephson effect. He is also a vocal proponent of extrasensory perception (ESP) and has shown interest in parapsychology1.

His work on the Josephson junction, a configuration of two layers of superconducting material sandwiching a thin layer of non-superconducting material, was part of the quark detector used in Hal Puthoff and Ingo Swann's psychokinesis experiment at SRI. The design of this device was never made public, making it impossible for anyone to have preexisting knowledge of its appearance1.
