J. Zou et al., Wave-packet analysis of mesoscopic Josephson junction with dissipation in the Wigner formalism, PHYS LETT A, 285(5-6), 2001, pp. 401-406
A mesoscopic Josephson junction in a superconducting ring enclosing a magne
tostatic flux with dissipation is considered in the Wigner-function formali
sm. It is shown that for weak dissipation the state of the junction can evo
lve in a quantum superposition of two coherent states which exhibits quantu
m interference. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
