60. The Hamiltonian of Eq. 1 is a good approximation to the physics of the Josephson junctions for energies E<2Δ, with Δ the superconducting gap. For example, in Ref., Al Al Ox Al junctions were used. An estimate of the value of the superconducting gap in Al can be obtained from D. C. Ralph, C. T. Black, and M. Tinkham, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.78. 4087 78, 4087 (1997), where a value of Δ=0.3 meV is quoted (see the caption of their Fig. 3). The value of the Josephson energy quoted in Ref. is EJ =259 GHz=0.16 meV. This leads to the estimate 2Δ≈3.7 EJ, and thus the results obtained with the Hamiltonian of Eq. 1 will be valid for E 3.7 EJ. As it can be observed in Fig. 2, the hard-chaos regime is well within this limit.
