Direct measurements of the lifetime of the zero-voltage state in a Josephson junction, operating at a temperature where the quantum contribution is comparable with the thermal escape, have been performed as a function of the bias current [1]. From these measurements the traversal time of the barrier can be deduced according to a semiclassical analysis, analogously to what was previously done by measuring...
