Abstract
We propose a Josephson junction array which can be tuned into an unconventional insulating state by varying external magnetic field. This insulating state retains a gap to half-vortices; as a consequence, such an array with nontrivial global geometry exhibits a ground state degeneracy. This degeneracy is protected from the effects of external noise. We compute the gaps, separating higher energy states from the degenerate ground state, and we discuss experiments probing the unusual properties of this insulator.
