The Non-Perturbative Quantum Behaviour of a Squid Ring in a Strong Electromagnetic Field
We investigate the use of a time-dependent electromagnetic field to stimulate quantum transitions in a macroscopic superconducting circuit. Using two different models for the electromagnetic field, we show tha...

Solutions of the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation for a Two-State System
The statistical properties of a single quantum object and an ensemble of independent such objects are considered in detail for two-level systems. Computer simulations of dynamic zero-point quantum fluctuations...

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...
