Josephson junction with circuitikz

Question

I would like to draw a Josephson junction which looks like this:

and make circuit with circuitikz in latex.

Is it possible to define it as an element of a circuit and use it like a node?

Answer 1

This takes the code for the bipole oscope, removes the rounded corners, the grid and the plot from it and instead adds the big cross.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{circuitikz}

\makeatletter
\pgfcircdeclarebipolescaled{instruments}
{
    % put the node text above and centered
    \anchor{text}{\pgfextracty{\pgf@circ@res@up}{\northeast}
        \pgfpoint{-.5\wd\pgfnodeparttextbox}{
            \dimexpr.5\dp\pgfnodeparttextbox+.5\ht\pgfnodeparttextbox+\pgf@circ@res@up\relax
        }
    }
}
{\ctikzvalof{bipoles/oscope/height}}
{josephson}
{\ctikzvalof{bipoles/oscope/height}}
{\ctikzvalof{bipoles/oscope/width}}
{
    \pgf@circ@setlinewidth{bipoles}{\pgfstartlinewidth}
    \pgfextracty{\pgf@circ@res@up}{\northeast}
    \pgfextractx{\pgf@circ@res@right}{\northeast}
    \pgfextractx{\pgf@circ@res@left}{\southwest}
    \pgfextracty{\pgf@circ@res@down}{\southwest}
    \pgfmathsetlength{\pgf@circ@res@step}{0.25*\pgf@circ@res@up}
    \pgfscope
        \pgfpathrectanglecorners{\pgfpoint{\pgf@circ@res@left}{\pgf@circ@res@down}}{\pgfpoint{\pgf@circ@res@right}{\pgf@circ@res@up}}
        \pgf@circ@draworfill
    \endpgfscope
    \pgfscope
      \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@circ@res@left}{\pgf@circ@res@up}}%
      \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@circ@res@right}{\pgf@circ@res@down}}%
      \pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@circ@res@right}{\pgf@circ@res@up}}%
      \pgfpathlineto{\pgfpoint{\pgf@circ@res@left}{\pgf@circ@res@down}}%
      \pgfusepath{draw}
    \endpgfscope
}
\def\pgf@circ@josephson@path#1{\pgf@circ@bipole@path{josephson}{#1}}
\tikzset{josephson/.style = {\circuitikzbasekey, /tikz/to path=\pgf@circ@josephson@path, l=#1}}

\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}

  \draw (1,1) to[josephson] (2,4);
