The resistively-capacitively-inductively-shunted (RCL-shunted) Josephson junction (RCLSJJ) shows chaotic behaviour under some parameter conditions.Here a scheme for controlling chaos in the RCLSJJ is presented based on the linear feedback theory.Numerical simulations show that this scheme can be effectively used to control chaotic states in this junction into stable periodic states.Moreover,the different stable period states with different period numbers can be obtained by appropriately adjusting the feedback intensity and delay time without any pre-knowledge of this system required.
