Multi-photon transitions between energy levels in a current-biased Josephson tunnel junction
arXiv:cond-mat/0206227 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.037003
Abstract
The escape of a small current-biased Josephson tunnel junction from the zero voltage state in the presence of weak microwave radiation is investigated experimentally at low temperatures. The measurements of the junction switching current distribution indicate the macroscopic quantum tunneling of the phase below a cross-over temperature of . At temperatures below we observe both single-photon and \emph{multi-photon} transitions between the junction energy levels by applying microwave radiation in the frequency range between and to the junction. These observations reflect the anharmonicity of the junction potential containing only a small number of levels.
