The modern primary voltage standard is based on the AC Josephson effect and the ensuing Shapiro steps, where a microwave tone applied to a Josephson junction yields a constant voltage $hf/2e$ ($h$ is Planck's constant and $e$ the electron charge) determined by only the microwave frequency $f$ and fundamental constants. Duality arguments for current...
