Recently the photonic side of the dynamical coulomb blockade was explored by measuring the emitted radiation of a dc voltage-biased Josephson junction embedded in a microwave resonator [1]. In order to gain a better understanding of the strong coupling case, we investigate the classical (typically chaotic) dynamics of the system. Extending this dynamics to a Langevin-type description, well-defined dynamical steady states are obtained.
In addition to limit cycles with the Josephson frequency ωJ, we observe marginally damped cycles at subharmonics as well as bifurcations. For very strong coupling between resonator and Josephson junction highly structured, asymmetric limit cycles at low frequencies are observed, which can intuitively be interpreted as "elevator-like" dynamics.
