Multiterminal Josephson junctions (MTJJs), devices in which a normal metal is in contact with three or more superconducting leads, have been proposed as artificial analogs of topological crystals. The topological nature of MTJJs manifests as a modulation of the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) in the normal metal that may be probed by tunneling measurements. We show that one can reveal this modulation by measuring the resistance of diffusive MTJJs with normal contacts, which shows rich structure as a function of the phase differences {ϕi}. Our approach demonstrates a simple yet powerful technique for exploring topological effects in MTJJs. locked icon locked icon locked icon locked icon locked icon locked icon locked icon locked icon Physics Subject Headings (PhySH)Andreev reflectionJosephson effectProximity effectTopological phases of matterWeak antilocalizationJosephson junctionsLithographyNonequilibrium Green's functionResistivity measurementsUsadel equation
