Abstract: | We formulate a macroscopic quantum theory that can describe the macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs). The capacitively coupled IJJ model is quantized in terms of the canonical quantization method. The multi-junction effect for the MQT to the first resistive branch is clarified. It is shown that the escape rate is greatly enhanced by the capacitive coupling between junctions. |
