动态非对称SQUID:Münchhausen效应

The dynamically asymmetric SQUID: Münchhausen effect

A. U. Thomann, V. B. Geshkenbein, G. Blatter

摘要:

我们报道了一个复杂的零温衰变通道的经典对象在亚稳态耦合到量子自由度。这种设置可以在dc-SQUID中实现,其中两个约瑟夫森结具有相同的临界电流I_c,但具有强烈不对称的动力学参数;更准确地说,选择参数C和1/R对于一个结足够大而对于另一个结足够小,使得第一个结表现为基本经典,但对于第二个结存在量子效应。衰变过程是由量子结的隧穿引发的,这扭曲了经典结的俘获势;如果扭曲足够大,后者的亚稳态就会变得不稳定。我们提出了这个系统的动态相图提供依赖于外部偏置电流I和两个结之间的耦合强度,由环路电感L确定的衰减通道。

英文摘要:

We report on a complex zero-temperature decay channel of a classical object in a metastable state coupled to a quantum degree of freedom. This setting can be realized in a dc-SQUID where both Josephson-junctions have identical critical currents I_c but feature strongly asymmetric dynamical parameters; more precisely, selecting both parameters C and 1/R adequately large for one and small for the other junction makes the first junction behave essentially classical but lets quantum effects be present for the second one. The decay process is initiated by the tunneling of the quantum junction, which distorts the trapping potential of the classical junction; the metastable state of the latter then becomes unstable if the distortion is large enough. We present the dynamical phase diagram of this system providing the dependence of this decay channel on the external bias current I and on the coupling strength between the two junctions, determined by the loop inductance L.
