Bloch oscillations without quantum coherency in Josephson tunnel junction

The charge transport in small size Josephson tunnel junction connected with high resistance is investigated in the limit of coupling small enough to destroy quantum coherency of different charge states. It was shown that charge transport may be almost periodical in time so that Bloch oscillations ta...

Summary:The charge transport in small size Josephson tunnel junction connected with high resistance is investigated in the limit of coupling small enough to destroy quantum coherency of different charge states. It was shown that charge transport may be almost periodical in time so that Bloch oscillations take place despite of the absence of coherency.
