Abstract

We study quantum dynamics of and phase transitions in a Josephson junction between two planar d-wave superconductors where the processes of both quasiparticle and Cooper pair tunneling give rise to nonlocal dissipative terms in the effective action. By combining a perturbative weak coupling analysis in the charge representation with a variational approach in the phase representation at strong coupling, we ascertain a layout of the junction’s phase diagram and discuss the corresponding behaviors.
