Elastic scattering is one of the useful approach to control the transmission behavior of microwave photons transporting in microwave quantum networks without energy consumption. Therefore, it has practical significance for the development of microwave quantum devices and the construction of multi-node microwave quantum networks. In view of the existence of the same device, specifically the transmission line embedded by a single Josephson junction, could be described by different circuit models (the series and parallel ones), in this paper we first theoretically analyze the transporting feature for the microwave photons being scattered by the different elastic scattering model, described by either the series or the parallel embedding models, generated by a single LC loop and a nonlinear Josephson junction device, respectively. The classical microwave transport theory predicts that, the series LC loop and the parallel LC loop lead to different microwave photon elastic scattering behaviors, i.e., the series LC circuit yields the resonant reflection and the parallel LC circuit leading alternatively to the resonant transmission. Recently, the transport properties of microwave photons scattered by a Josephson junction embedded in a transmission line had been discussed, and the results suggested that the Josephson junction embedded in the transmission line should be described by a series embedding circuit, which implies the resonant reflection. We argue here that, if the Josephson junction is embedded in parallel in the transmission line, the elastically scattered microwave photons should be transmitted by resonant transmission. In order to test which of the above two different embedding circuit models, yielding the completely different elastic scattering behaviors, is physically correct, we then fabricated such a device, i.e., a single Joseph junction device embedded in a transmission line is prepared, and measured its elastic scattering transmission coeffcient at extremely low temperature. The results are consistent with the expected effects of the parallel embedding circuit model, but conflicted with the behaviors predicted by the series embedding circuit model in the literature. Based on the above theoretical and experimental analysis on the elastic scattering of a single Josephson junction device, we further propose a scheme to control the elastic scattering behavior of microwave photons by modulating a DC superconducting quantum interference device with a bypass current, which could be applied to the construction of a microwave quantum network based on elastic scattering node controls.
