Phase slip statistics of a single isolated flux-biased superconducting ring
Abstract
We describe measurements of the thermally-activated transitions between fluxoid states of a single isolated superconducting ring. We compare these measurements with theoretical predictions in which all of the relevant parameters are determined via independent characterization of the same ring. This no-free-parameters comparison shows qualitative agreement over a wide range of temperatures. We discuss possible origins for the remaining discrepancies between the data and theory, in particular the choice of model for the superconducting order parameter's damping.
