Abstract

We consider a mesoscopic Josephson junction in a circular superconducting ring which encloses a magnetostatic flux. It is shown that the state of the junction can evolve in a quantum superposition of two coherent states. It is also shown that the destructive interference between these two states suppresses the supercurrent, and the dynamic behavior of the supercurrent shows collapse and revival phenomena.
