The Dynamics of SQUIDs and Coupled Pendula
نویسندگان
چکیده
Josephson [8] predicted in 1962 that a DC tunnel current would flow between two superconductors connected by a thin insulating layer of thickness less than about 20 Å in the absence of a voltage difference, an effect now called the DC Josephson effect. The quantum-mechanical current, called the superconducting current, arises from the tunneling of Cooper pairs of electrons of opposite spin and momenta and is given by

Breathers in Hamiltonian PT -Symmetric Chains of Coupled Pendula under a Resonant Periodic Force
We derive a Hamiltonian version of the PT-symmetric discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation that describes synchronized dynamics of coupled pendula driven by a periodic movement of their common strings. In the limit of weak coupling between the pendula, we classify the existence and spectral stability of breathers (time-periodic solutions localized in the lattice) supported near one pair of cou...
متن کاملSynchronized pendula: From Huygens’ clocks to chimera states
This topical issue collects contribution exemplifying the recent scientific progress in understanding the dynamics of coupled pendula. The individual papers focus on different questions of present day interest in theory and applications of systems of coupled oscillators. Both theoretical and experimental studies are presented. In 1665 Ch. Huygens noticed the antiphase synchronization of two pen...
متن کاملSuper operator Technique in Investigation of the Dynamics of a Two Non-Interacting Qubit System Coupled to a Thermal Reservoir
In this paper, we clarify the applicability of the super operator technique for describing the dissipative quantum dynamics of a system consists of two qubits coupled with a thermal bath at finite temperature. By using super operator technique, we solve the master equation and find the matrix elements of the density operator. Considering the qubits to be initially prepared in a general mixed st...
متن کاملMechanisms of Decoherence at Low Temperatures
We briefly review the oscillator and spin bath models of quantum environments, which can be used to describe the low-energy dynamics of open quantum systems. We then use them to discuss both the mechanisms causing decoherence at low T , and the dynamics of this decoherence. This is done first for a central 2-level system coupled to these environmentsthe results can be applied to the dynamics of...
متن کاملIdentification of different species of squids in Oman Sea (Iranian waters)
Identification of different species of oceanic and neritic squids in Iranian waters of Oman Sea was carried out from December 1996 to February 1997. The trawl surveys were conducted during a 12-months period. Fishing was also undertaken by Mid-water and bottom trawl for species confirmation purposes in deep (200-350m) and shallow (0-100m) waters to collect enough specimens that could be used fo...
