Switching Current Distributions in Josephson Junctions at Low Temperatures Resulting From Noise Enhanced Thermal Activation
James A. Blackburn
Experiments on the distributions of switching currents in Josephson junctions are sensitive probes of the mechanism by which a junction changes abruptly to a finite voltage state.…
A Reassessment of the Evidence for Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in a Josephson Junction
James A. Blackburn
Switching current distributions have for decades been an indispensable diagnostic tool for studying Josephson junctions. They have played a key role in testing the conjecture of a…
Modeling Escape from a One-Dimensional Potential Well at Zero or Very Low Temperatures
Chungho Cheng, Gaetano Salina, Niels Grønbech-Jensen +3
The process of activation out a one-dimensional potential is investigated systematically in zero and nonzero temperature conditions. The features of the potential are traced throug…
Investigation of low temperature quantum crossover in Josephson junctions
James A. Blackburn, Matteo Cirillo, Niels Gronbech-Jensen
The evidence for macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in Josephson junctions at low temperatures has been reassessed. Swept bias escape distributions have been modeled with an algor…
A survey of classical and quantum interpretations of experiments on Josephson junctions at very low temperatures
James A. Blackburn, Matteo Cirillo, Niels Grønbech-Jensen
For decades following its introduction in 1968, the resistively and capacitively shunted junction (RCSJ) model, sometimes referred to as the Stewart-McCumber model, was successfull…
Switching Current Distributions in Josephson Junctions at Very Low Temperatures
James A. Blackburn, Matteo Cirillo, Niels Grønbech-Jensen
Swept bias experiments carried out on Josephson junctions yield the distributions of the probabilities of early switching from the zero voltage state. Kramers' theory of thermally…
