We have studied the transition rate from the zero-voltage state in a dc SQUID as a function of applied flux and temperature. We observe a crossover from thermal activation to macroscopic quantum tunneling at a flux-dependent temperature. The thermal rates are significantly suppressed, suggesting tha
We theoretically investigate macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in a current-biased p junction with a superconductor (S) and an insulating ferromagnet (IF). By using the functional integral method and the instanton approximation, the influence of the quasiparticle dissipation on MQT is found to be
We have theoretically investigated macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) for a stack of capacitively and inductively coupled intrinsic-junctions. By use of the functional integral method, we have analytically derived the MQT escape rate and found that the inductive coupling reduces the potential barri
