Quantum-mechanical phase locking in weak-link arrays

Quantum-mechanical descriptions of arrays of Josephson weak links often invoke electric-field-energy storage in the weak-link capacitors. However, such quantum-electrodynamic mechanism is by no means a requirement for the notion of macroscopic quantum-mechanical wave functions for the array as a who...
