Abstract
Quantum phase transitions in two layers of ultrasmall Josephson juncti ons, coupled capacitively with each other, are investigated. As the in ter-layer capacitance is increased, the system at zero temperature is found to exhibit an insulator-to-superconductor transition. It is show n that, unlike in the case for one-dimensional arrays with a similar c oupling configuration, the transition cannot be accounted for exclusiv ely by particle-hole pairs.
