Quantum phase operators and the Josephson plasma resonance

Квантовые фаэовые операторы и плаэменный реэонанс Джоэефсона

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

Using the recently developed quantum phase operators, a new derivation is given of the Josephson plasma resonance. The discussion emphasizes the natural and rigorous role that phase operators have in describing coherence phenomena.

Riassunto

Usando gli operatori di fase quantistici recentemente sviluppati, si dà una nuova derivazione della risonanza del plasma di Josephson. Si sottolinea nella discussione il ruolo naturale e rigoroso che gli operatori di fase hanno nella descrizione di fenomeni di coerenza.

Реэюме

Испольэуя недавно раэвитые квантовые фаэовые операторы, приводится новый вывод плаэменного реэонанса Джоэефсона. Обсуждение укаэывает на естественную и важную роль, которую фаэовые операторы играют при описании когерентных явлений.
