We believe this study is useful to the community of meta-materials because a Josephson junction is the only nonlinear device that has this behavior. In addition these systems have very small losses contrarily to the current meta-materials. The article can also interest people working on arrays of Josephson junctions because of the problems of synchronization and superradiance

Using the resistive-shunted-junction model we show that a split-ring Josephson oscillator or radio-frequency SQUID in the hysteretic regime is similar to an atomic system. It has a number of stationary states that we characterize. Applying a short magnetic pulse we switch the system from one state to another. These states can be detected via the reflection of a small amplitude signal forming the base of a new spectroscopy.
