Description

The lifetime of a metastable current state of a superconducting junction is determined by classical fluctuations at temperatures above a certain temperature T0 and by quantum fluctuations at temperatures below T0. We find the temperature and current dependence of the lifetime close to T0 for any viscosity and in the two limiting cases of large and small viscosity for the whole temperature range
