18. As is well known in QED, we have to fix the gauge to quantize the electromagnetic field. The Coulomb gauge is the most convenient for describing the Coulomb blockade effect We can also use the phason gauge [see T. Koyama: J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 68 (1999) 2010] and the gauge in which the scalar potential vanishes [see T. Koyama: Physica C 293 (1997) 92] to quantize the electromagnetic field in an array of Josephson- junctions.
