★ This interaction allows for tunneling of Cooper pairs between superconductors, across junction.

when ground state of a system does not share the full symmetry, spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs.
A consequence of spontaneous symmetry breaking of a continuous symmetry like this one is that there are excitations whose energy goes to zero in the long wavelength limit. These are Nambu-Goldstone modes.

1.2. Non-Abelian Josephson effect
A group for which the elements commute (i.e., AB=BA for all elements A and B) is called an Abelian group.
