Abstract

The Landauer formula for electrical conductance is simple but works remarkably well in mesoscopic systems. We propose a Landauer-like formula for calculating an escape rate out of a dissipative metastable well, the quantum Kramers rate. The proposed formula works well in the current–voltage characteristic of a single Josephson junction.
