Bloch band dynamics of a Josephson junction in an inductive environment
We have measured the current-voltage characteristics of a Josephson junction with tunable Josephson energy ${E}_{J}$ embedded in an inductive environment provided by a chain of SQUIDs. Such an environment induces localization of the charge on the junction, which results in an enhancement of the zero-bias resistance of the circuit. We …
