contents We demonstrate the synchronization of current quantization in a parallel array of weakly coupled Josephson Junctions operating in the regime of the coherent quantum phase slip. The first quantized current step on the voltage-current characteristic of 69 parallel Josephson junctions, under microwave excitation at a frequency of f = 19.325 GHz, is observed at 426 nA. Experiments show that accuracy of quantization does not degrade with increasing number of combined Josephson junctions. This demonstration addresses the issue of quantized current amplitude requirements adopted for a practical quantum standard, while leaving the question of accuracy for further research. At present, the quantum current standard of accepted metrological accuracy in the triangle of electrical units is under development. The other two, the Volt and Ohm standards based on the Josephson and Quantum Hall effects, respectively, are already well established in metrology.
