Abstract
Experiments on one-dimensional small capacitance JosephsonJunction arrays are described. The arrays have a junctioncapacitance that is much larger than the stray capacitance ofthe electrodes, which we argue is important for observation ofCoulomb blockade. The Josephson energy can be tuned in situand an evolution from Josephson-like to Coulomb blockadebehavior is observed. This evolution can be described as asuperconducting to insulating, quantum phase transition. Inthe Coulomb blockade state, hysteretic current-voltagecharacteristics are described by a dynamic model which is dualto the resistively shunted junction model of classicalJosephson junctions.
