Broken Gauge Symmetry in Macroscopic Quantum Circuits
In this paper, we discuss the macroscopic quantum behavior of simple superconducting circuits. Starting from a Lagrangian for electromagnetic field with broken gauge symmetry, we construct a quantum circuit mo...

Quantum Electrodynamics in Superconducting Circuits
We discuss the appearence of quantum electrodynamic effects in superconducting circuits. We concentrate on one simple system; a thick superconducting ring containing a single Josephson weak link. We construct ...

Observation of Quantum Jumps in Squid Rings
In this paper we describe an experimental technique which we have used to probe the low lying energy levels of a quantum mechanical SQUID ring and to observe transitions between these levels.
