The macroscopic quantum dynamics of nano-scale high-T c superconductor Josephson junctions is investigated theoretically. We analytically obtained the macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) rate and showed that the presence of the zero energy bound states at the interface leads to a strong damping effe

โฆ Synopsis
We formulate a canonical quantum theory for the square-shape closed 0-p junction system in the absence of an external magnetic field. When the quantum tunneling takes place between the two degenerate classical ground states having different current patterns, the system forms a quantum two-level system. The Hamiltonian which describes the quantum two-level system is derived from the generalized sine-Gordon equation.

We apply a Gutzwiller-like variational technique to study Josephson conduction across a quantum dot with an odd number of electrons connected to two superconducting leads. Our method projects out all states on the dot but the Kondo singlet and is valid when Kondo correlations are dominant and no And
