摘要:

在一个经典自由度和一个量子力学自由度的耦合系统中,量子自由度可以促进整个系统的逃逸。这种不寻常的逃逸特性在理论上被预测为“明希豪森效应”。我们实现这样一个系统,通过分流的两个结的直流SQUID与一个额外的电容。在我们的实验中,我们检测到量子和经典逃逸过程之间的交叉有关的逃逸方向。我们发现,在不同的外部磁通量,宏观量子隧穿周期性地交替与热激活逃逸,“明希豪森效应”的一个标志。

英文摘要:

In a coupled system of one classical and one quantum mechanical degree of freedom, the quantum degree of freedom can facilitate the escape of the whole system. Such unusual escape characteristics have been theoretically predicted as "Münchhausen effect". We implement such a system by shunting one of the two junctions of a dc-SQUID with an additional capacitance. In our experiments, we detect a crossover between quantum and classical escape processes related to the direction of escape. We find that, under varying external magnetic flux, macroscopic quantum tunneling periodically alternates with thermally activated escape, a hallmark of the "Münchhausen effect".
