Absence of a dissipative quantum phase transition in Josephson junctions: Theory
arxiv(2023)
摘要
We obtain the reduced density matrix of a resistively shunted Josephson
junction (RSJ), using the stochastic Liouville equation method in imaginary
time - an exact numerical scheme based on the Feynman-Vernon influence
functional. For all parameters investigated, we find that shunting a junction
makes it more superconducting. We find no trace of the Schmid
superconducting-insulating quantum phase transition long believed to occur in
the RSJ. This work confirms theoretically a similar conclusion drawn in 2020 by
Murani et al., based on experimental observations. We reveal that resistors
with no UV cutoff always yield a fully localized phase and we explain how
previous works predicting an insulating state came to obtain a contrary result.
