Escape dynamics in moderately damped Josephson junctions (Review Article)

The Josephson effect is a privileged access to the macroscopic quantum nature of superconductors. We review
 some ideas and experimental techniques on macroscopic quantum decay phenomena occurring in Josephson
 structures. The attention is mainly addressed to intermediate levels of d...

description The Josephson effect is a privileged access to the macroscopic quantum nature of superconductors. We review
 some ideas and experimental techniques on macroscopic quantum decay phenomena occurring in Josephson
 structures. The attention is mainly addressed to intermediate levels of dissipation which characterize a large
 majority of low critical current Josephson devices and are therefore an avoidable consequence of nanotechnology
 applied more and more to Josephson devices. Phase diffusion phenomena take over thermal activation in
 some temperature ranges also affecting the transition to macroscopic quantum tunneling, enriching the phase diagram
 mostly defined by the Josephson energy, the temperature and the level of dissipation.

The Josephson effect is a privileged access to the macroscopic quantum nature of superconductors. We review
 some ideas and experimental techniques on macroscopic quantum decay phenomena occurring in Josephson
 structures. The attention is mainly addressed to intermediate levels of dissipation which characterize a large
 majority of low critical current Josephson devices and are therefore an avoidable consequence of nanotechnology
 applied more and more to Josephson devices. Phase diffusion phenomena take over thermal activation in
 some temperature ranges also affecting the transition to macroscopic quantum tunneling, enriching the phase diagram
 mostly defined by the Josephson energy, the temperature and the level of dissipation.
This contribution initially intended to celebrate 50 years
 from the discovery of the Josephson effect, also stands
 now as the last paper of our friend and maestro Antonio
 Barone. Antonio passed away before He could see the final
 line of the work, that however responds to the common
 initial planning. This manuscript is now also in his honor,
 touching one of his favorite topics, macroscopic quantum
 phenomena in Josephson junctions. This work is supported
 by MIUR PRIN 2009 under the project SuFET based on
 nanowires and HTS. We also acknowledge partial support
 by STREP MIDAS, Macroscopic Interference Devices for
 atomic and Solid State Physics: Quantum Control of Supercurrents
 and by a Marie Curie International Reintegration

 Community Framework Programme.
