Description

Quantum fluctuations in a microscopic model of Josephson junction including dissipative effects, parametrized by eta = h/2πe2R with R the resistance, are discussed. It is shown that the parameter space divides sharply into two regions: One in which scaling trajectories lead to a vanishing mean tunneling rate at T = 0 and the other in which they do not
