The «tilted washboard» potential for a current driven weak link was first discussed byP. W. Anderson inLectures on the Many-Body Problem, edited byE. R. Caianiello, (Academic Press, New York, N.Y., 1964), p. 113. For recent discussions on the appropriate choice of weak-link variables, seeG. Schön andA. D. Zaikin:, p. 203 and ref. [32]T. D. Clark, T.
