Abstract
The inertial drag on Cooper pairs in a rotating rf-SQUDD ring leads to an a symmetry in the Hamiltonian potential able to modify the tunnelling dynamic s. This effect is a Sagnac signature of Cooper pairs at a quantum level and it may probe the Mach effect influence on the wavefunction collapse. (C) 2 000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
