Abstract
We have studied the Josephson dynamics of resistively shunted ballisti c superconducting quantum point contacts at finite temperatures and ar bitrary number of conducting modes. Compared to the classical Josephso n dynamics of tunnel junctions, the dynamics of quantum point contacts exhibits several new features associated with temporal fluctuations o f the Josephson potential caused by fluctuations in the occupation of the current-carrying Andreev levels.
