• Authors: Kanta Masuki, Hiroyuki Sudo, Masaki Oshikawa and Yuto Ashida
• Abstract summary: Dissipative quantum phase transition has been widely believed to occur in a Josephson junction coupled to a resistor despite a lack of concrete experimental evidence. We reveal breakdown of previous perturbative arguments and defy the common wisdom that the transition always occurs at the quantum resistance. Our predictions can be tested in recent experiments realizing high-impedance long superconducting waveguides.

• Abstract: Dissipative quantum phase transition has been widely believed to occur in a Josephson junction coupled to a resistor despite a lack of concrete experimental evidence. Here, on the basis of both numerical and analytical nonperturbative renormalization group (RG) analyses, we reveal breakdown of previous perturbative arguments and defy the common wisdom that the transition always occurs at the quantum resistance $R_{Q} \!=\! h/(4e^2)$. We find that RG flows in nonperturbative regimes induce nonmonotonic renormalization of the charging energy and lead to a qualitatively different phase diagram, where the insulator phase is strongly suppressed to the deep charge regime (Cooper pair box), while the system is always superconducting in the transmon regime. We identify a previously overlooked dangerously irrelevant term as an origin of the failure of conventional understandings. Our predictions can be tested in recent experiments realizing high-impedance long superconducting waveguides and would provide a solution to the long-standing controversy about the fate of dissipative quantum phase transition in the resistively shunted Josephson junction.

We unravel that both the ground and excited-state quantum phase transitions in spinor condensates can be diagnosed with dynamical phase transitions. This work advances the exploration of excited-state quantum phase transitions via a scheme that can immediately be applied to a broad class of few-mode quantum systems.
