Abstract
The measurement process is introduced in the dynamics of Josephson dev ices exhibiting quantum behaviour in a macroscopic degree of freedom. The measurement is shown to give rise to a dynamical damping mechanism whose experimental observability could be relevant to understanding d ecoherence in macroscopic quantum systems.
