Description

The Feynman path integral formulation of the Josephson effect is applied to the problem of the influence of quantum electrodynamic fluxoid tunnelling on the characteristics of a current biased, singly connected, Josephson weak link. The well known Josephson voltage biased frequency effect, ωsub(v) = (2eV/h/2π), has a natural duality extension to a current bias frequency effect ωsub(I) = (πI/e). (author)
