Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in Josephson Junctions and Squids

C. Granata, E. Esposito, B. Ruggiero +2 more

We report experiments on energy level quantization in Nb/AlOx/Nb Josephson junctions while measurements on SQUIDs are in progress. Data on the presence of energy level quantization are shown at temperatures above the classical-quantum regime crossover temperature. This has been possible by extending the measurements of the rate of the escape from the zero-voltage state at higher sweep bias rate in order to induce non-stationary conditions in the energy potential describing the junction dynamics. Data are compatible with extremely low "effective" dissipation in our system. Theoretical predictions on quantum effects related to the presence of non-stationary conditions in the potential associated to a rf SQUID are reported in view of new possible experiments.

Energetics of an rf SQUID Coupled to Two Thermal Reservoirs

Bartłomiej Gardas, J. Łuczka, Andrzej Ptok +1 more

We study energetics of a Josephson tunnel junction connecting a superconducting loop pierced by an external magnetic flux (an rf SQUID) and coupled to two independent thermal reservoirs of different temperature. In the framework of the theory of quantum dissipative systems, we analyze energy currents in stationary states. The stationary energy flow can be periodically modulated by the external magnetic flux exemplifying the rf SQUID as a quantum heat interferometer. We also consider the transient regime and identify three distinct regimes: monotonic decay, damped oscillations and pulse-type behavior of energy currents. The first two regimes can be controlled by the external magnetic flux while the last regime is robust against its variation.

DYNAMICAL BEHAVIOR OF A SQUID RING COUPLED TO A QUANTIZED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

Rosanna Migliore, A. MESSINA

In this paper we investigate the dynamical behavior of a SQUID ring coupled to a quantized single-mode electromagnetic field. We have calculated the eigenstates of the combined fully quantum mechanical SQUID-field system. Interesting phenomena occur when the energy difference between the usual symmetric and anti-symmetric SQUID states equals the field energy ℏωF. We find the low-energy lying entangled stationary states of the system and demonstrate that its dynamics is dominated by coherent Rabi oscillations.
