Abstract

One-dimensional arrays of small capacitance SQUIDs have been studied experimentally. The effective Josephson coupling between neighboring electrodes is tunable in situ. The arrays can be tuned from a Josephson-like state, with low resistance and sharp critical current, to a Coulomb blockade state, with infinite resistance and sharp threshold voltage. A quantum phase transition occurs at the crossover between these two types of behavior, which is evident from an analysis of the temperature dependence of the zero bias resistance.
