Quantum coherence in a mesoscopic Josephson junction with dissipation

Jian Zou, Bin Shao

Abstract

A mesoscopic Josephson junction in a superconducting ring enclosing a magnetostatic flux with dissipation is considered. The dissipation in this system is described as a consequence of its coupling to a reservoir. By solving the master equation it is shown that the state of the junction can evolve into a quantum superposition of two coherent states even when the dissipation is present. It is also shown that squeezing effects can exist in such a system, and the dynamic behavior of the supercurrent shows collapse and revival phenomena. The quantum decoherence is also discussed.

A mesoscopic Josephson junction with dissipation is considered. Usually the dissipation in the system is described as a consequence of its coupling to a reservoir. By solving the master equation we show that the state of the junction can evolve in a quantum superposition of two coherent states even when the dissipation is present.``

SUPERPOSITIONS OF COHERENT STATES AND SQUEEZING EFFECTS IN A MESOSCOPIC JOSEPHSON JUNCTION

Jian Zou, Bin Shao

We consider a mesoscopic Josephson junction in a circular superconducting ring which encloses a magneto static flux. It is shown that with the junction being initially prepared in its lowest energy level the state of the junction can evolve in a quantum superposition of two coherent states, and squeezing can exist in such system.

Collapse and Revival of Supercurrent in Mesoscopic Josephson Junctions in the Presence of Nonclassical Electromagnetic Field

Shao Bin, Zou Jian, Xing Xiu-San

Dynamic behavior of the supercurrent in a mesoscopic Josephson junction in the presence of a nonclassical electromagnetic field is investigated. It is shown that for the squeezed state the time evolution of the supercurrent can exhibit quantum collapse and revival phenomenon, while for the coherent state the phenomenon does not occur.

Supercurrent behavior of the mesoscopic Josephson junction coupled to the multimode electromagnetic field is investigated.The basic theoretic sketch of the fully quantum mechanical system for the multimode squeezed state is build.It is shown that the time evolution of the supercurrent in the multimode field can exhibit more complex behavior than in a single-mode field case.The quantum collapse and revival properties of the supercurrent for a three-mode squeezed vacuum state are shown.
