Evidence for Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in One-Dimensional Superconductors
Abstract
Measurements of the superconducting-to-normal transition in very-small-diameter In wires are presented. The results are discussed in terms of the currently accepted theory, in which dissipation below ${T}_{c}$ is attributed to thermally activated motion of the Ginzburg-Landau order parameter over the free-energy barriers which separate metastable states. This theory is consistent with our results for temperatures within about 0.2 K of ${T}_{c}$, but at lower temperatures it fails qualitatively. We suggest that the low-temperature behavior is dominated by quantum-mechanical tunneling through the free-energy barrier, and show that our results are consistent with this picture.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
