Abstract: We present an interpretation of traversal time results in Josephson junctions, based on a stochastic model of tunneling processes which include dissipative effects. With the use of semiclassical analysis, the experiments performed up until now have supplied a time duration of the order of 10(2) ps (a remarkably long time, even considering the macroscopic nature of the systems under examination). According to our interpretation, this duration is only the imaginary part of a complex quantity, the real part of which (presumably the true physical duration) lies in the range of st few picoseconds.
