We review the macroscopic quantum phenomena in superconducting microstructures based on multiterminal junctions. The multiterminal Josephson junction presents a system in which the weak coupling takes place between several massive superconducting banks (terminals). Compared with the conventional (tw
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
