Intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) in the high-𝑇 c cuprate superconductors have several fascinating properties, which are superior to the usual Josephson junctions obtained from conventional superconductors with low 𝑇 c , as follows; (1) a very thin thickness of the superconducting layers, (2) a strong interaction between junctions since neighboring junctions are closely connected in an atomic scale, (3) a clean interface between the superconducting and insulating layers, realized in a single crystal with few disorders. These unique properties of IJJs can enlarge the applicable areas of the superconducting qubits, not only the increase of qubit-operation temperature but the novel application of qubits including the macroscopic quantum states with internal degree of freedom. I present a comprehensive review of the phase dynamics in current-biased IJJs and argue the challenges of superconducting qubits utilizing IJJs.
