High resolution measurements of the switching current in a Josephson tunnel junction: Thermal activation and macroscopic quantum tunneling

We have developed a scheme for a high resolution measurement of the switching current distribution of a current biased Josephson tunnel junction using a timing technique. The measurement setup is implemented such that the digital control and read-out electronics are optically decoupled from the anal...
